Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Recommendations for a Cordless drill

Milwaukee all the way

I bought an 18 Volt Dewalt cordless that died on me.
I had too much money in the batteries and charger, so I bought another.

Then I got the Dewalt 20 Volt cordless.............much better.
I got the 20 Volt:
chainsaw
light
impact driver
leaf blower

Then I read on the internet that Milwaukee is better.

It took me all of the 1990s to wear out my Makita cordless drills with NiCad batteries.

I will die of old age before my 20V Dewalt drills wear out.

Milwaukee Fuel no question. I came from Makita and Dewalt. I now look for projects to buy more.

Home Depot Ridgid tools have served me well and while I don't make a living with my tools I have used them at times pretty hard. Look for black Friday deals coming up.

now back to the question asked ....

was just in Lowes and saw a "relatively cheap" cordless drill that should be about right for ya


....

if you're just looking to run screws and no drilling, here's a cheaper option


....

Got a whole set of craftsman cordless 19.2 volt tools I'll sell for $50 of course the batteries are all shot and they don't sell them anymore but hey wtf? Mb

I looked into rebuilding some batteries once... Not too hard I reckon... maybe after I finally get around to rearranging that sock drawer.

They do fine for what they are

Even more important - don't recharge them when it's below freezing. That will permanently damage Li-on batteries. Some better chargers won't charge when it's that cold but many will try and ruin the batteries. You can use them when it's below freezing but don't recharge them until you warm them up.
