I'm no fan of cordless drills, unless working somewhere _really_
awkward.

I like my 1950's 1/4" Bridges so much that I now have two of them. One
sits permanently with a plastic abrasive brush in it. They're lighter
than my cordless and yet more powerful. Beautifully made too. I rarely
drill anything over 1/4", and if I do, then my huge AEG SDS can swap a
non-hammer chuck onto it.
