I looked in the archives and could not find this topic discussed any
later than 2003 so I thought I would see what recommendations people
might have now in 2008.

I have a Skil cordless drill. I like the weight and balance of the
tool, it does the jobs I want it for, the batteries have lasted for
years and years, but I HATE the chuck and it is getting worse by the
week.

I am on the hunt for a cordless drill with a user friendly chuck that
will actually hold the bits in place, not too heavy, balanced in the
hand, two batteries would be good. I'm not going to spend extra $$ for
"totally excellent" top of the line - reliable and "very good" will
suit me.

I know y'all have opinions on which drill to choose and I look forward
to reading your picks and reasoning. And after I find the right tool I
will, of course, want to know where to find the best deal, too G.

Thanks!
