With the Father's Day sales going on it is time for me to buy a new
cordless drill. I want a drill driver but haven't kept up with the
differences between the major brands. I am not a professional
woodworker but with a farm there are plenty of times a cordless drill
comes in handy.

I would like some opinions on:

What brands to consider or reject

What type of battery

What voltage

Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

I have fallen in love with my Ridgid stuff - especially with the lifetime
warranty that even covers the batteries. I don't think any other
manufacturer covers their batteries. Full on lifetime warranty. The only
thing is that you have to make sure you go to their web site and register
everything by serial number. Drill body, batteries, and any other component
you buy. I have used the warranty program and it is hassle free as long as
you have done your part. Plenty of power, balanced (to my hand), and
durable.
