What's the best drill? Cordless? Corded?
I'm looking into Lowes' 20% off sale and want a new drill. The one I have
is a rather weak cordless with the small battery (12v?). I've also lost the charger, but that's another story. Anyway I want to be able to drill in/out 3" screws into studs, and drill into concrete with a masonry bit. I found that the 12v drill didn't have the torque to do it. I borrowed a cheap corded drill the other day and it drove those screws like nothing. What do you guys recommend? If the price is in the $200's US or lower I don't care about the money. It looks like the most expensive one is a Dewalt 18v. Is this going to match up favorably with a corded drill of the same quality? Will the battery last a long time? I won't be using the drill often but I wan't one that can do everything a decent corded drill can do without the cord hassle. Thanks for any suggestions, dwhite |
