Have you thought about getting one with a hammer feature for
drilling into concrete, just in case you have to.

That would be real nice but I am interested in this particular drill
because of it's weight (light) and the fast charging battery. DeWalt
doesn't make one like that. Makita does but it doesn't seem to get as
good reviews as the Milwaukee. I have recurring carpel tunnel and a
regular weight drill makes my wrist ache.

I also have a small hand, even for a woman. In reading customer
reviews about this drill, women seem to really like it's small
outline. (My boyfriend bought me a "ladies" Glock 45 for my birthday.
Very very comfortable.)

But I don't think they make this "version" with the hammer feature.
Actually they don't make any other tools that will use this battery.
That is a negative but Milwaukee says they will be coming soon.

I knew a bunch of you guys would start in about this brand vs that
brand. ..makes me smile. But I'm not that much into the finer points.
Now if you wanted to talk about knitting...

As an electrician, all my power tools used to be Milwaukee, as they
were the standard in the industry... Then they became crap... I use
mostly Dewalt now.. and they're pretty much crap too, but hey, there
are only so many companies to choose from. Regardless of the make, I
prefer 14 volt tools, as they have pretty much the same power as 18
volts, but are lighter and more manuverable. I just replaced one of my
crap Dewalt driver drills with a model DC730, which, despite being
crap, is really nice and small and light, certainly worth looking into

aren't the lithium powered drills lighter for the same or even higher
voltages? And they have the useful benefit of not losing charge in storage
for up to 6 months,for those who only use them sporadically.

Sure, but as yet they don't seem to have them for all the voltages. I'll
wait until Li-on is the only type available, then hopefully, *they won't

If you wait till Liion is the only type offered you wont ever buy one.
