Does your definition of "portable" mean that the drill is cordless?
Corded drills are fairly portable. Can be carried in one hand.
Unless running a cord to the nearest receptacle is an issue, go corded.

After years of thinking I can get along without one, I've decided to buy a
portable drill. What should I look for? Volts, Amps or what? Sears has
one going on sale for $70. The ad says it has 14.4 volts. It doesn't
mention amp. I want one that I'll be satisfied with.

Any advice would be appreciated.
