I have a 12V Porter Cable cordless drill and 2 re-chargeable batteries.
I'd say the unit is approx. 6-8 years old and it has performed well.
The batteries are going kapoot but I use the tool so seldom anymore that
I don't warrant a new drill. I checked for batteries online and the
cheapest I found them were $53 + s&t, putting them around $60.

I got to wondering about the quality of the Harbor Freight brands (not
Makita or DeWalt) of cordless drills, primarily due to their low prices.
I realize that for the most part one gets what they pay for, but do
these $20-$100 drills have much quality to them?

Thanks for sharing your experiences.





if you read carefully,you will find that the HF drills only have one speed
range,maybe a max of 900 rpm.One I saw only had 500 rpm max.

If I were you,I'd just get my P-C packs rebulit by a reputable rebuilder.
then you retain your present drill and have a quality tool,not some HF
junk.
