How many countries have ever won a world war using the metric system?
That's what I thought...
I use Milwaukee cordless drills. I abuse them and do things with it that a corded drill shouldn't do. I've had one for over five years and have only lost one battery (when it was about six months old).

From what I've seen of what the field service guys use, Snap-on (if they make a drill) or Milwaukee is hard to beat. Saw a pivot tech reach into a puddle where his Milwaukee impact was immersed and go right back to using it.
The reason DeWalt tools are so expensive is because they are worth it. Pulled the 18 volt impact from behind the truck seat it sat behind all last winter, and changed a trailer tire with it this spring.
I'm considering ditching my craftsman stuff and going to Dewalt or Milwaukee. Craftsman has a 4ah Lithium battery now, but if you use it too hard, it shuts down, you have to switch batteries, when the next one cuts out switch back again.

I replace at least 1 Crapsman battery a year, and have 3. My impact really likes it's batteries, too.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

I am now the proud owner of a new Milwaukee 1/2" M18 Fuel hammer drill. Already been using it. It is bit heavy, but so far am liking it a lot. I strongly suspect that my corded drill is now going to gather dust.
