Need new cordless drill/scredriver

 

   I'm wanting a new cordless drill/screwdriver for routine medium duty
tasks (mostly screwdriver). My B&D has bought the farm, actually my
recent experiences with B&D have not been good. Not good at all!

   How is Skill doing, this looks like a nice little tool:

  Hitachi still good?:

   Something else?

   I'd like something that's not too expensive, but I can throw some
chump change at it. Stuff you have to keep replacing is never a good
value, and I'm about done with NiCads also. I'm starting to feel the
same way about whatever Home Depot sells. The chances of it being a
lemon are high.

If you have a Harbor Freight near by their 18V drill works just fine
for me.  I don't know that I would use it if I was a professional,
but I have had good luck with it.  You might want to look for it on
sale or with a coupon.  You can generally get them for a good
price.

And while you are there get yourself a coupon a buy one of
their multipurpose tools for $35.  They are great for cutting
odd things.  I have used mine for a variety of things, and I
haven't even come close to finding out all the thing I can use it
for.  Yesterday I needed to cut down some plastic spacers that were
too long.  It did the job in a hurry.

   I have one I stumbled on the way to the Lake (Allatoona). Never been
in it because they close on Sunday before I can get there.

   Is that one of those that reciprocates back and forth in a small very
fast motion?

   I'll check it out.

   Bought a 12V Hitachi LiIon, so far, great.

Yep, that's it.  The Harbor Freight is a knock off of the Fein
Multimaster that has been on the late night TV sales for
the past couple of years.  Of course there are a lot of
people putting them out now, but Harbor Freight has about
the lowest prices, and they work great for my uses.
