Lithium Cordless Power Tools

If you want a good litium product, get the milwaukee v28 stuff. No heavier than my dewalt 18v, but the drill is potent, and the 6.5 circular saw is badass too. I pieced my setup together, and payed about 300 for 1 batt, drill, saw and charger... Not cheap, but well worth it.

What he said.

I used to have the Craftsman Pro 24V drill... Talk about a beast- if you can't do the job with 520 in/lbs, it isn't getting done. I used this drill to make 12" speaker cut-outs in 3/4 MDF with one of those adjustable carbide hole saws. The V28 is the only drill I know of that comes close to the same power output (it actually claims 600 in/lbs). So, if you're like me and you want the biggest/baddest/best just so you know it will git 'r done, then get the V28.

I am with linc on this all the way. 8-10 years ago I swore by Dewalt and wrote off Milwaukee as they went to crappy motors and even crappier plastic gears. Milwaukee was no better than black & decker in my opinion. Recently though Milwaukee got back to making great tools and I am a fan once again. I bought 4 of the 28v drills which like linc said are no heavier than the 18v dewalts along with the sawzall, circle saw, flashlight and other pieces. My guys that worked for me loved them too. They finally had the power of a corded drill in a cordless that also didn't weigh a ton and a half.

Even for home why buy junk you will replace quickly and spend just as much as had you bought the quality tools.
