Super User burleytog Posted December 13, 2008 Super User Posted December 13, 2008 Had a 3/8 corded and a 3/8 12V cordless. Got a d**n good deal on a 3/8 19V Craftsman the day after Thanksgiving. Then Sears had to go and put a 4 tool combo on sale today, so now I've got a 1/2 19V as well. I'm going to have to start doing a whole lot more drilling and screwing. :-/ Quote

Super User fourbizz Posted December 13, 2008 Super User Posted December 13, 2008 DeWalt was awesome, 5 years ago. Their product has really gone downhill recently IMO. Makita is making great cordless tools again. I really like their 14.4 cordless impact. If you are running screws one at a time, a small impact is the only way to go. Specially on decking. The Milwaukee 28v Lithium Ion stuff is absolutely AWESOME, but really spendy. Quote
Super User Tin Posted December 13, 2008 Super User Posted December 13, 2008 Dewalt bits are still pretty good. Then again I'm a rookie... :-/ Quote
Red Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 dewalt is junk in my opinion, for the price anyway, for that kind of money i would go with makita or bosch. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted December 13, 2008 Super User Posted December 13, 2008 burley having drills is like reels never too many i think i have a drill in each room in my house and a few out side dont get me started on bits i got bits made in germany,brazil,england china ,japan,sweden and USA i think i just told on myself i have a bit obbsession Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted December 13, 2008 Super User Posted December 13, 2008 My DeWalt is over 5 years old and can kick the arse of Burley's little Craftsman toy. Quote
TheBeast Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Dewalt is garbage. As far as cordless tools I am sold on Bosch all the way. They are the most durable longest lasting drill I have ever used and you can't beat the 3 year warranty. I tried one about 4-5 years ago when I had 2 Dewalts peter out in less than 2 years time and will never look back. Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted December 13, 2008 Super User Posted December 13, 2008 Havent got to use Bosch cordless stuff yet. Their rotohammers and miter saws are awesome though. I just picked up this chop box last month. Quote
frogtog Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I've got 4 of the Dewalts and they don't even come close to the 19v Craftmans drill. The best bits I can find are Hanson bits and I can't keep up with them. I also bought one of the Drill Doctors and it's a peace of junk too. Also I can't find my bubble gum smillie WHO moved it ?

Super User Sam Posted December 13, 2008 Super User Posted December 13, 2008 Drill bits. You cannot have too many drill bits. Long ones. Short ones. Ones in between. Wide ones. Skinny ones. All types. Drill bits. Burley, you need more drill bits. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted December 13, 2008 Super User Posted December 13, 2008 I've got a DeWalt 12v cordless drill I've had for quite some time. It's been a good friend and works outstanding. A couple guys have picked up the new Makita 10v model drills recently for work. You get 2 for $150. One is a regular, the other an impact. Amazingly light is all I can say. I'm thinking of getting a pair myself. Quote
TheBeast Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Let me clarify that I am making my assesment of them by working with my drills daily doing heavy duty drilling. Installing truck accessories, all of my work is done in metal and drilling truck frames and running a 4" holesaw through a truck bed and going up to 1/2'-5/8" hole through 1/4" steel will really put a drill to the test.
