Hi all
I am fitting out my extension we built last summer I need to put in about
7000 screws ranging from drywall to 4 inch.
Is the Dewalt 18 volt drill/driver up to the job- I see one on Ebay.My
present B&D 18volt is on its last legs after a summer of heavy use.

I've used a DC988 (also 18v) and yes, as daddyfreddy suggests they are a
little heavy to use, however, they are fantastically powerful. At the
end of the day, the 18v should be a little more useful than a 12v or
14v, but its horses for courses. Personally, once I'd used it for a
short while the extra weight slipped my mind.

I think for your use the main thing to look out for is the good rapid
charger and at least 2 good batteries.
