I'm on the hunt for my next cordless drill/impact set. We have been using Makita's 18 volt Lithium Ion set for the past 2 years and have ruined 2 drills (impacts are fine). We are VERY rough on our drills, we drill stuff we probably should get out the cord for, using auger bits etc......yet that's what I need it to do. Am I asking for too much? I would prefer not to go up to the 28V monsters as this is my do everything drill which needs to be fairly light. os What are you guys using/ have you used and what's the feedback??
Note: I bought the Porter Cable 18V lith-ion set today and it sucked, bad! It has a overload control that cut it out at the slightest amount of stress....pretty weak drill imho. I hope they will take it back at Big blue. I was really pulling for this set too because it was $79 cheaper than the DeWalt or Makita sets and you can buy all the other tools seperatly w/o buying a package deal.
