I don't do to much with hardwood, budget thing and most of my projects that use pocket screws are softwood or plywood. I have done a little with Home Depots' version of Red Oak and can't say there was much difference. Not enough for it to stand out for me to remember anyway. Course, at my age, I tend to take mental notes in disappearing ink anymore. :(

Hi Richard - I have the Ryobi 18V and it will do the job fine. That said, if I am drilling them in the shop with the Master jig, I prefer the corded dewalt @2500 rpm. With the shop-vac attached they go much faster and cleaner. I use they Ryobi with the Junior (R3?) jig when working on site. <br></br><br></br><cite>Richard Sands said:</cite>

<p>I just bought the K4 Master System with an extra clamp and 1,000 Kreg screws, plus received the 1,000 free Kreg screw bonus that Woodcraft has going through Oct. 29. So, I'm ready to drill and to install some pocket screws. </p>
<p>I have a Ryobi 18-Volt Lithium Drill/Screwdriver with clutch that is rated at 1,600 RPM and a Makita Hammer Drill that is rated at 2,800 RPM, but its corded and heavier, which I would use in drill mode. My first projects will be using 3/4 inch (actual) thick pine and poplar. For this drilling, may I use the 1,600 RPM drill or do I need to use the 2,600 RPM drill?</p>

Good luck with it. I was using my Kreg Jig last night to join stair treads butt-to-butt to make a countertop and used my bosch drill. The amazing thing is how far cordless tools have come in the past few years. Battery technology continues to develop. In a few years we will begin to see more cordless devices charge from smart tables and such.

The amazing thing is how far cordless tools have come in the past few years. Battery technology continues to develop. In a few years we will begin to see more cordless devices charge from smart tables and such. I saw a demonstration of the technology earlier this year and soon we will be able to just place our cordless tools on our bench that has the charging mat fastened to it and all fo our tools will remain fully charged and the need for a myriad of chargers will be a thing of the past. The same technology will charge our lap tops, cell phones and etc. Eventually the technology will replace cords inside the house, but not enough current can flow through now to be used on high demand appliances.

Hal,<br />
I went along with your recommendation and ordered the Bosch 36618-2. I'm not sure if you can list the firm or not that I purchased it from and the price. Delv is slow for this item as I guess it is not in stock but there is no emergency.<br />

For serious use, I would opt for a Bosch or Milwaukee. Bosch is coming out with a nice cordless drill if you can wait on that one. It is small and uses a chuck, 12 volt lithium battery. Check the rpms to make sure whatever you choose is sufficient for wood drilling.<br/>I have a 36V Bosch i use with my Kreg Jig and it works fine, but is overkill for most users. Be sure and get lithium batteries, the difference is worth the price. For an all around drill, opt for the 18volt lithium. I prefer a morse chuck to the newer hex quick insert. The drills using the insert system are sloppier than the old fashion taper chucks where you twist the chuck to increase force holding the bit, resulting in cleaner holes drilled.<br/>For price point drills that will be used occasionally, I have good luck with Skil. I have not tested the Porter-Cable units in the lower price range, so i cannot recommend them.</div>

DeWalt has a 7 amp corded drill that turns up to 2,500 RPM. I just saw it at Home Depot for just over $50. They don't have it for sale on their website... at least I couldn't find it there.
