I dont see any build quality in skill or the PC battery tools, Its too
bad because PC used to be #1 and I have alot of their old AC stuff. I
think those two are about as low as you go in expecting quality,
Ridgid I have had alot of their battery tools for 3 years and im
happy. The warranty and ease of service was the main reason, but they
are quality made.

Save yourself a lot of misery and buy a quality Li ion 18V drill.
Batteries are quite $$, so if the Rigid is a Lt ion type, go for that.
When your job demands and skill levels dictate, consider Milwaukee and
other more professional tools.

Your choice of CAPS indicates what's important to you. Go with that.
