Default help me to choose a drill on a budget
wrote:
As a new homewner I need a drill/driver for occasional weekend use. I
am on the budget $100 but the less I spend the better if quality is
sufficient for my tasks.
The options I've been looking at are
1) 18v Skil 2887, $79 (or 59 refurbished)
2) Panasonik EY6405FQKW, $99
3) Ryobi 18V Reconditioned $75

Any other options? I realize it would be a waste to buy anything pro
in my case. I want the drill to last however. So based on reviews
Panasonic is aa clear winner but does it worth extra $?


Ryobi & Skil are big box junk brands with Ryobi being a home depot
"exclusive". Don't know anything about Panasonic.

For occasional use you might also consider a corded tool. More torque,
no batteries to charge etc.
