I'm interested in buying a cordless drill/driver. My recent purchase
of a 12 volt Makita has left a very bad taste in my mouth, the drill
was very cheaply made (not the pro line) and it wouldn't keep a drill
bit or driver tight, no matter what I did. I've returned in under
their 30 day customer satisfaction policy and now I'm shopping again.

I think the Bosch 14.4 Brute-Tough will fit my needs. Any ideas??

I've had a Bosch 12V model for years, and it has performed very well.
However the keyless chuck is somewhat hard to close tightly enough to
drill large holes in steel - i.e. only for the worst cases.

I'm happy enough that I bought a new battery for it, and have just
sent the other one to PrimeCell for rebuilding.
