I notice there are a number of models of DeWalt cordless drills. Some are less than 0. Some are way over 0. I would imagine that if you spend more, you get more torque, better bearings, longer battery life, etc. Is that true? Are the more expensive drills worth it? By the way, I'm just a homeowner, so I don't need something that can run all day. But I'm afraid if I buy a cheap one, it will go bad in a short period of time. I've gone that route too many times. Also, I don't need a hammer drill .... just a drill/driver. One last thing. Is there someplace to buy a DeWalt cheaper than I can get it at Home Depot or Lowe's? (I'm in Maryland) Is an online purchase a good idea and cheaper?

Is any one else confused about all of the different power tools offered by craftsman? I have been looking to get a cordless drill and circular saw, and have been running into some confusing things. There is C3 drills, with diehard, w/out diehard, Lithium ion but two different kinds of them and then i found two drills that were exactly the same (same battery, same torque, same driver size) and they were priced almost 0 apart. I was wondering if there is a review website or somewhere where they compare them side by side. If you know of such a place please let me know.

Two years ago, I bought a Makita 18V Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2 In. Driver-Drill Kit Model # BDF452HW for baby-proofing and furniture assembly. Now I don't use it much, although I feel that I would like a drill/driver on hand.

I feel that the 18V drill-driver is more than I need. I'd like to downgrade to the Makita LCT203W 10.8-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Two-Piece Combo Kit.

The 18V drill kit includes a quick charger, an extra battery pack and a hard plastic carrying case. I bought drill bits from Walmart separately. The 2-piece driver-drill set that I want includes: driver drill, impact driver, two 10.8-volt lithium ion batteries, charger, and "heavy duty" aluminum case.

Of course, the both tools in the 2-piece set have lower torque and max RPM than the 18V drill-driver, but I will have an impact driver in the exchange. Also the tools in the 2-piece set are smaller, which is more to my purpose (basic household maintenance).

Should I sell the 18V (bought at 0 + tax), at a loss because it's used, and get the 2-piece set? I'm thinking 0 for the 18V and I'll throw in the drill bits. The 2-piece set is 0 shipped, from Amazon. (I'll need new bits, as the drill takes hex-shank bits.) Or should I keep the 18V, because you never know when you'll need the power?

What do you think?
The tools in the 2-piece set are less bulky than the 18V drill-driver.

I foresee only light household drilling and screwdriving in the years to come.

Ive got a new hobby that is woodworking I have heard that DeWALT is the best is this true? The Drill Im interested in is on sale at Canadian Tire for 8.87 this is the description in the flyer:

" 18V cordless drill/driver compact and light weight. high performance motor delivers 400 in-lbs max torque. 1/2" keyless chuck, dual range: 0-450, 0-1500 rpm "

It comes with 3 year warranty, Case and 2 Batteries.

the picture shows a dewalt drill with a 14.4V battery attached is one battery 18V and the other 14.4V? I am also Planning to install new curtains in my moms room and there is concrete in the wall I need to drill in can this drill drill through? is this a good deal?
