    I got a pretty good deal on a DeWalt 18v Cordless drill. It suits my needs and DeWalts are pretty durable.

    I'm a commercial electrician and do a lot of drilling in metal studs, junction boxes & electrical panels. I had a Bosch in the past with the NiMh batteries and the batteries were junk. Also had a Ryobi for a month & took it back. I've got the 18V DeWalt XRP 3-speed and love it. Yes the Nicad batteries are a little heavy, but I'm used to it.

    I think you're right. The times I've gone there they ask what company I work for, & my company does have an account with them. Somethings they are wicked expensive, though.

    You can work with them though, your right about them asking which company your with and i work for a huge contractor so that dose make a diffrence. But again getting the right sales guy can make all the diffrence.

    The best cordless drill I've ever had was a De-Walt 36v cordless hammer drill. It really isn't suitable for what most people would be needing a cordless drill for, but was just the tool for the job when I was looking for one.

    I got this drill during black Friday sale and it was $40. So far I have only done minor house work, but I love it so far!

    Anybody have any experience with Skill's? I was looking at getting an 18V, either that or a Craftsman 19V for about the same price.

    I am an electrician and have a decent set of Dewalt 18v XRP tools. They are great, no complaints except weight/battery size. I really want to sell them and get Milwaukees new M12 lineup. I've used them and they are amazingly powerful for their size/weight.

    I dropped a dewalt 14.4v hammer drill from a 12 foot ladder onto solid concrete, climbed down, picked it back up and continued working.

    i'm an electrician. i use my cordless drill every day sometimes all day long. i've been through numerous dewalts in the past. they were pretty good. about 3 years ago i bought my first makita li-ion 18 volt(the white/black one from home depot). the first job i used it on was an old navy store where i literally had to drill hundreds of 3/8 holes in steel roof trusses. the drill worked flawlessly. and continued to work flawlessly for the next three years. the 15 minute charger is also a big plus. i never had an issue with the batteries either. i just bought my second one about 2 months ago.very good drill for the money!
