    The makita lxt line is good but the regular lith ions batterys dont last that long they may charge in 15 min but they do die pretty fast. They dont have enough torque either if ur gona be driving a lot of screws or big lag bolts id get the lxt makita or 20v dewalt

    If you are driving big lag bolts , isn't an air ratchet a better choice anyway ?

    We all use the same set at work. (HVAC/Appliance repair). In the last four years I think we've had a battery or two go bad, but these things are tough.

    I don't know if anyone has said it but honestly for a home owner you don't need 18-24V. They will be much heavier than the 12-14V. With the all of the new technology the 14V drills are awesome.

    I own the Milwaukee Drill/Driver and love it. [​IMG]

    The driver is amazing and makes working around the house much easier. I hung a cabinet, one handed, while driving a 3" finish head Sq drive screw well above my head like it was nothing. The drill couldn't do it.

    That why we can build much cooler shit too. Example....My impression of OZ building something..


    OZ (insert non understandable French/Canadian accent here):

    "Hey....could you hand me Robertson?"

    Now.....some dood is now running amok looking for some guy named Robertson..



    In America:



    American (In clear English):

    "Hey! Can you hand me the Square drive?"

    BOOM! His helper hands him teh square drive, they finish the project, and are drinking beers by the time OZ even has the correct part for his project......one reason I speculate that his bumper is STILL not on his truck....

    i personally use Ridgid...
    their battery seems to last forever.
    HomeDepot was giving away free battery for every ridgid stuff... but honestly, never needed more than two batteries... plenty of power, so far so good.

    Chris, that's really close except knowing OZ he would probably ask for the slotted tip. Then, when his helper said "we don't have that kind of quality available in Canada, silly Peter" he would say "Ok, ok, just hand me the Robertson"

    Oh, of course. You're from the states we have all kinds of better options. Square drive, Star, Philips etc.
