Damned Amazon sent me some emails this morning suggesting some things I
might like, and the *******s were right. Reminded me that my old 14V
Porter Cable cordless drill has just about outlived its usefulness, and
now I'm looking at these two puppies:

Thoughts? Any direct experiences comparing these two puppies? Others I
should consider instead

I never used either one, but I picked up the Makita at a local store and
fell in love with it immediately. It fit my hand really, really nicely
and is super light weight. At first I thought it didn't have a battery
in it, but it did.. This thing weighs about 3 pounds or so. I was hell
bent on getting a small 12 volt drill but couldn't decide on the
Milwaukee or the Bosch. After holding this one in my hand, I have to
say it feels really good. It was so light I wondered about the
durability... Makita has a good name though, and my Makita hammer drill
has been great for many years.

I know I would not buy any drill with out holding it in my hand to see
how it feels. This one would be perfect in my "part time" home shop.
