Default Recommend Cordless Hammer Drill

I have a black and decker firestorm 24V cordless hammer drill. It works
very well. But there are 2 things I dont like. The torque setting is
inconsistent. I have messed up holes occasionally due to this.
Especially when changing the speed. That affects the resultant torque
very much.

Is there any cordless drill that has more consistent torque setting?


Never noticed any difficulty w/ Milwaukee but never done a controlled
test, either...


Also, I would like some kind of drill stop to help speed up my hold making
when I know the depth ahead of time. Any drill also with that feature?

Not than I'm aware of, but there are a million add-on ways to accomplish
it from as simple as a piece of tape on the bit to "store-bought"
jigs...choose a method that suits you is best I can recommend.

If you typically do repetitive things of the same type, making a set of
collars of the desired size(s) and depth(s) would seem worthwhile. You
can, of course, buy them as well.
