Need new cordless drill/scredriver

tasks (mostly screwdriver). My B&D has bought the farm, actually my
recent experiences with B&D have not been good. Not good at all!
How is Skill doing, this looks like a nice little tool:
Hitachi still good?:
Something else?
I'd like something that's not too expensive, but I can throw some
chump change at it. Stuff you have to keep replacing is never a good
value, and I'm about done with NiCads also. I'm starting to feel the
same way about whatever Home Depot sells. The chances of it being a
lemon are high.

for me. I don't know that I would use it if I was a professional,
but I have had good luck with it. You might want to look for it on
sale or with a coupon. You can generally get them for a good
price.
And while you are there get yourself a coupon a buy one of
their multipurpose tools for $35. They are great for cutting
odd things. I have used mine for a variety of things, and I
haven't even come close to finding out all the thing I can use it
for. Yesterday I needed to cut down some plastic spacers that were
too long. It did the job in a hurry.

I have one I stumbled on the way to the Lake (Allatoona). Never been
in it because they close on Sunday before I can get there.

Is that one of those that reciprocates back and forth in a small very
fast motion?

I'll check it out.
Bought a 12V Hitachi LiIon, so far, great.

Got a friend who has the small driver with LiIon. I see that they had
good deals on the NiCad combos.
Where do they make them?

Yep, that's it. The Harbor Freight is a knock off of the Fein
Multimaster that has been on the late night TV sales for
the past couple of years. Of course there are a lot of
people putting them out now, but Harbor Freight has about
the lowest prices, and they work great for my uses.

I've had good luck with Ridgid cordless drills. They always have deals at
Home Pisspot this time of year.
Jeff Thies
Fabulous. I'll give it a whirl! $35 is a deal.
