What is the best battery powered drill?

Posted by admin
Dave asked:


There is a bewildering array of power drills available today, in a wide price range. What, in your experience, is the best, and why? How important is NiMH battery, as opposed to NiCad, for a homeowner who may not touch the drill for months? What features do you feel are most important?
