About Drills and Power Tools

foxycleopatra137 asked:


I went shopping for Father’s day early and bought my husband a DeWalt 18V Cordless Adjustable Clutch Driver/Drill, is it a good drill? He is a really great father and deserves something good. His last drill was a Craftsman and crapped out after a couple of years.
PS. I couldn’t find a “tools” category so I figured this one was close enough.

I have looked everywhere on the net but can’t find anything. All I found was that they are sold at Walmart in Canada…. but I bought mine in the states. It is very good drill and would like to keep it, but I need a charger as the one it came with died. Maybe there is such a thing as a universal charger?

I’m in the market for a new cordless hammer drill. Having read dozens of reviews and opinions, I’ve narrowed it down t either the:
- Makita 18V Li-ion 3 spd, or the
- Milwaukee 18V Li-ion 2 spd.
Which is better cordless drill…for regular trade use in tasks ranging from carpentry to small structural projects? Is the build quality similar?

Just bought a new B&D cordless drill. It emits a spark when you press the on button. Is this normal or defective. I can remember my dads old corded drills showing a spark while it was on. He said it was part of the (something) can’t remember. My partner says he’s taking it back but I don’t think it’s anything to fret about.
