Default 12 volt lithium battery drill/impact driver- recommendations?

I noticed that The Festool Drill that I have now comes with a 4.2 amp
battery... ;~(. 3 amp lasts long enough and I still don't use my
Makita or Bosch impact drives any more. A dew weeks ago I was
driving 5/16"x4" lag screws with my Festool drill, In the non clutch
setting and in the high speed setting I had to grab the battery with
my left hand to keep the drill from twisting my right hand off when
the screw fully seated in the stud. Yes I did predrill but only 3"
deep and part of that was sheet rock. I still find it amazing that I
have not yet stalled the drill except when the electronic clutch is
engaged.


Hey - weren't you supposed to send that drill up to me for an honest
evaluation?
