I had read in Consumer Reports about the Porter-Cable PC180DK-2 drill. It is
rated a Consumer Reports best buy. The price on Amazon is $129.99 before tax
and shipping. I found the same drill on the Ace Hardware website for $99.99
before tax and shipping. If you are willing to wait a little longer you can
have it shipped for free to an Ace Hardware store near you where you can go
pick it up. That is what I did.

How does the drill feel in "your" hand? Regardless of what a report says,
if the drill does not feel right when you handle it you probably are not
going to like it.

Believe this is the drill I bought a few months back. If it is, its a piece
a junk. The reverse and forward switch stopped working after only 3 weeks
on the job. I took it to a service center and they said they can't get
parts for the drill. The PC Rep. ended up replacing it for a Dewalt. I
would not touch PC cordless drills with a 10' drill bit at any price.

That's actually what sold me on the brand of drill I have now. I picked it
up and realized owning one would be my destiny. (bad movie joke alert)
Luke, join me and we can drill and screw the universe. It is your destiny.
