I decided to get a new cordless drill today.
I have had several and they only seem to last a couple of years. When you try to replace the battery you find out it cost as much as the original drill almost.
I decieded to get a Rigid.
A Rigid is a heavy duty drill that has a lifetime warranty, including the batteries.
Hopefully this will be the last cordless drill I will ever buy.
