Title says it all. I know that alot of drills are now made side by side in china like black an decker an Dewalt. Who the he'll still makes a good drill that will not have any run out.

I love my DeWalt cordless drill.

What's yours?

i just bought a dewalt 14.4 v cordless drill from home depot.Should i get a screw driver set too from dewalt or just some local brand?

I need a tough drill that aint cheap that can take the punishment, should I get dewalt, milwaukee, etc. I really dont know which one to get, ill be using the drill out side most of the time, putting lag bolts into roofs, so thats why I said can work outdoors, and also is there a weatherproof drill or do they make them?

I need something that will be pretty strong and reliable, but i wont use it too much, so i dont need drills from companies like DeWalt and Black and Decker...
Is this an OK drill?:http://cgi.ebay.com/Maxsuma-HI-TORQUE-18V-Volt-Cordless-DRILL-DRIVER_W0QQitemZ200268031003QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item200268031003&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1199|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50
Thanks for the fast replies. I dont care if it is cordless or not because i actually want a drill with a cord(i feel it will be more reliable, energy wise). Please if there is a cheap reliable drill, please post a link. thank you so much.

Okay, I cannot afford a good cordless drill, so now I am looking at electric (corded) drills. I'm sure that the same things apply to corded drills as to cordless drills. However, on corded drills it appears that the power is measured in amps rather than volts. How many amps do I need to drill through wood and seat crews without stripping them? I went to Lowe's and see that an 8 amp Dewalt corded drill is .00 dollars as compared to an 18 volt Dewalt which is approx. 0.00. I know corded is not as convenient as cordless, but my budget is .00, (so I also need to think about the cost of an indoor/outdoor extension cord.)
Okay, now I'm confused. Dan H says that his Ryobi and Black and Decker are used in daily construction, which I assume is pretty heavy and active use. However, other people are saying that Ryobi's and B&D's have plastic internal parts and won't hold up. Which info. is correct?

I have a DeWalt 12v cordless drill that is on it's last leg and I'm shopping for a new drill. Home Depot has a Ryobi 7.2v drill for cheap, and I'm concerned if that will be powerful enough for home projects.

Does anyone have experience in this area and can you give me any advice before I make the purchase?

I will be using a Dewalt cordless drill.
