I see almost everyone here has a portable drill.
I used to have a Black&Decker 9.x volt.. BLAH..
I am now looking for a new one.
What kind do you guys have?
And also, does the drill being 18volt make a difference in the strength and power output that I REALLY need?

One more thing to pay some attention to is the AH (amp/hour) rating of the batteries of the tool that you buy. During the research that I did when I bought my Hitachi, I found that the majority, at that time, had batteries with a 1.5 AH. One of the reasons I bought the Hitachi was the fact that they offer both 1.5 AH and 3 AH Batteries. The 3 AH givesmore power and has longer battery life. As a foot note to this, my son-in-law bought the same drill as I did at a much cheaper price (which he did some bragging about) and then we found out that my drill would sink screws that his would not touch. We then found that his lower priced drill had 1.5AH batteries where mine has the 3 AH batteries. You just get what you pay for.
I use a Craftsman anniversary corded drill for drilling and Makita LCT203W 10.8-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Two-Piece Combo Kit
for driving
I like my Dewalt electric drill with the good ol keyed chuck...I bought one of the smaller ones...comfortable in my hands- doesn't lose power...no batteries to worry about - I pretty much leave it setup for drilling my Kreg pocket holes...I believe it was about $62...2 years ago

I have a Dewalt 18 Volt drill. I've had this drill for about six months and am very happy with it. I am a homeowner so I can't speak as to how this drill would function during all day use. For projects around my house it has plenty of power although, like every other cordless tool I have used, it needs a little more time drilling/driving through hard wood however works well with my Kreg Jig.
All in all a great drill. I can't imagine ever installing curtain rods, assembling bookcases, etc. with a corded drill and/or screwdriver again!

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
