All right guys, its time for me to buy a new drill. I don't really use it that much, just for small stuff generally like taking hardware off doors, or window treatments, but it still needs to be powerful enough to mix mud and adhesives. At least 18v.
My last 2 have been Craftsmen, and I guess I got my $120 back out of them, but they seem to die in a year. My current one came with 2 battery packs, one is already shot, and it would cost about $70 to replace. The other only holds a charge for a short time. If I'm running my paste machine for a couple days, I need to mix glue 2-3 times a day. This thing just doesn't have the stones to do it maybe once or twice a day then I'm recharging.
What are your reccomendations. What brands or models do you prefer and why. At this point, cost doesn't matter, as long as I don't have to replace it again in a year. And how about those ones that come with the chargwe and a built in jobsite radio? Look pretty cool, but do they work?
