I'm looking for a new cordless drill and I'm prepared to pay real money for a good one that will last a long time. I want an 18v with two batteries, quick charge time and a smart charger.
What brands do you guys like?
I was planning on getting a DeWalt, but a lot of things I'm reading online suggest their quality isn't what it used to be. The biggest problem seems to be wobbly chucks.
Milwaukee, Makita, Bosch, Panasonic, Porter Cable and Rigid all have models that rated highly at Consumer Reports. But they don't really test how well a drill holds up over time.
Right now I'm leaning toward Makita because there's a factory authorized repair shop close by.
Some of the reviews make me think I'm just as well off buying a cheap drill and replacing the whole thing when the batteries wear out.
