I may be showing my Norm here but why use a Yankee drill at all?
Certainly not to just make holes. They're cool tools and all but
actually using them must be some masochistic need to make things the
hard way? ;-)

It's long been my tool of choice to pre-drill for small nails when
installing trim or hanging light things on a wood backing. For bigger
holes, I'll prefer a cordless drill.

I broke the last small bit installing baseboard in my wife's shop.
(If I did that sort of thing more often, I'd consider a pneumatic brad
nailer, but I don't already have a compressor.)

Get a cordless electric brad nailer
Do they work? I've been looking for a stapler. I've bought two,
neither was worth a damn. The reviews on all of them are pretty poor
(wish I'd looked before leaping), am really leery about trying a
third. Twice burned...

I had a corded nailer/stapler. Piece of crap.

My air powered nailers and stapler are a joy to use.
