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 $?

Consider a corded drill. You'll get more drill for your money, won't
have to deal with battery issues (charging, failure, & replacement),
and you can expect it to last decades with little or no maintenance.

Something like this is in the $35-$40 range:

Seconded.

The words budget and battery don't belong in the same sentence.- Hide quoted text -
