I am pretty sure that Dewalt makes Craftsman drills. Figure out how much you can afford, then spend a little more, you will have that drill the rest of your life. Don't buy cheap drill bits, trust me, it does not save you money.

I used Makitas when I use work out in the field with a survey crew. They seemed solid and was able to take a beating.

But yeah. I was using those drills for the past couple of days on a project and they never failed :thumbup:
