Cant beat the Dewalt (pronounced DEE'-walt) 14.4 XRP. Best drill out there.
I go through drills all the time and I've had the Dewalt for years. It's
outlived about 5 or 6 others.

If that were still the case, dewalt, like others is now targetting new
markets, pretty colours for women and all that, and making down to a
price, not upto a quality, better than most, but still not as good as
even 5 years ago IMHO.
A friend bought 6 dewalts for his aerospace shop last year (careful
work, not abused) not one lasted 6 months....
