On the right is the 12 volt li ion battery for the new Makita. It is by far the smallest of the three batteries. Where were you when we were discussing LION batteries? |

I did google a number of sites that rated small battery power tools, and checked out a half dozen different brands of 12 volt 3/8" li ion drills. Just about every site had good things to report about the Makita, its batteries and charger. This will be a light use drill. I have *two* AC powered drills, one a hammer drill, for heavy use, such as drilling into concrete. I don't need a heavy duty drill for drilling into drywall or framing lumber, nor do I do that all day long. I'll be using the new drill over the weekend. Came with two batteries, and its light and easy to handle. I'm sure it'll be ok. Bought it on-line from Home Despot, delivered via USPS in one day. |

Anyway, I chatted with the tool department manager and was told that compared to many of their other brands, they get far fewer "returns" for any reasons of the Makita tools. The one I bought is not the cheapest light 12 volt 3/8" drill, but it is one of the store's most popular. I'm sure it'll work out fine...I'm not going to be using it to drill into steel plate or concrete...drywall, wall studs, et cetera, is pretty much it. Oh, another brand with few returns: Rigid. |

Ryobi has very good cordless tools. You can go with Craftsman, but you'll be paying twice as much for the same, exact Ryobi. The only difference is the outside. Everything inside is the same as Ryobi. Made in the same factory, same line. |

Everything inside is the same as Ryobi. Made in the same factory, same line. ------------------------------ I bought one of the 18 volt cordless Craftsman "kits" at Sears back in 2000. It had the drill motor (with hammer drill setting), the little circular saw and a "Sawsall" type saw I used them almost daily in Florida building a very large, fenced horse paddock for my wife's horses, decks, and all kinds of projects over the past 13 years. They rarely sat idle for more than a few days because with a barn and horses, there is always something to repair or build. Last winter I used them daily building the stage and additional rooms at the new guitar shop. They must have had 100s of hours of use and abuse over the 13 years. I had three NiCad batteries that were the originals that came with the set and they also lasted for 13 years of fairly heavy and regular use. The batteries finally gave up the ghost about halfway through the construction at the guitar shop last winter. I would have bought new ones if I could find them, but I figured I had certainly got my money's worth over 13 years, so I ended up buying a new set. Decided to try a PortaCable 18 volt set. So far they seem fine but I doubt they will last 13 years under the same level of use like the Craftsman set did. I don't know who was making them for Craftsman back in 2000, but they were good. |
