Black & Decker CDC180ASB, Mediocre at best

Mediocre at best
I picked this up for $40 on sale in a local store. It’s adequate for most tasks, but no better.
The battery can only be charged when it’s plugged into the drill, so you can’t alternate between two to keep working. It doesn’t have a variable speed setting, so controlling the speed when driving [...]

Hitachi DV18DL 18-volt, Go Green!

Go Green!
Let’s get the visual appearance out of the way first, shall we? Not everyone is going to like the high tech look of this tool (although I personally happen to love it). If you look at other Japanese power tool manufacturers such as Makita and Panasonic you’ll see they are also using [...]

Better than Original
Please note that this is the XR battery pack. Most 9.6 volt tools from DeWalt come with the standard battery pack. The XR pack features 25% more runtime. So if you’re thinking about buying a new tool instead of replacement batteries, be aware of the difference in the batteries. [...]

Makita 6935FDWDE, True variable speed

True variable speed
Makita has two 14.4 impact drivers on the market. The older one is the 6932 and the newer the 6935. While both are priced about the same, the older is widely promoted packaged with a drill/driver unit. I chose to forgo the allure of a free drill/driver unit and [...]

Cordless battery that seems like a cord is attached
I bought the Panasonic EYC142B 14.4V Lithium Ion 3-Tool Combo Kit with Drill & Driver, Impact Driver and Flashlight. I bought an extra battery for a total of three. I use the drill the most. Light weight with the Lithium Ion battery. Drill hangs [...]
