I have narrowed my search for a drill down to the Panasonic and Makita.



Consider this, http://www.makitatools.com/Cordless_...iew.asp?id=741

Both are good brands and the Panasonic will be hard to beat.

But IIRC through the end of the year Makita is offering a free MForce drill
if you buy the specific impact driver.
