Power Drill - Any Recommendations ?

[geoff shep]

Rechargeable are fine (and way more convenient) if you get a Li-ion battery version. They don't suffer the old 'memory' problems of Ni-Cad and are much quicker to recharge - about an hour from flat to fully charged. 18V is more than enough power and modern keyless chucks grip much better.

 

I can highly recommend the Bosch 18v drill. I use it all the time for drilling and driving and have survived for about 4 years on one battery. I only bought a second one recently as I have been rebuilding the bathroom and needed a second fully charged battery ready to go.

 

They are on Amazon at a very good price - for some reason the 2-battery version is cheaper then the single!

Fussy-logic chargers ( no I don't know how it works) will charge batteries in 15 minutes -- have used one for the past 12 years.
