Would you rather have to put in a few drops of oil through a
lubricating hole after every few hours of running your drill and
double the length of time of use without having to replace any parts
or rather not have to bother oiling it and replace a part that may
cost 30% of the price for a new drill every few years?

I pretty much use my cordless every day. A typical cordless
drill/driver lasts me between 2 and 3 years. Regardless of
manufacturer, I've never had one die due to lack of oil, gear grease
maybe, but not oil.




is it the batteries that die on you or the drill itself?
do you figure it's cheaper to buy a new drill kit than to just replace the
batteries for your old drill?
