LOL. Maybe 10 years ago.
If you want a real drill, either Mikita or Rigid, 18v.

 

I like Bosch personally.

Bosch 33618 18-Volt Brute Tough Drill/Driver

 

Milwaukee tools are real nice - but pricey.

 

Hilti is pretty good, but $$$$. they have a sawzall that's rock solid. doesn't twist at all when you turn it on.

 

Speaking of drilling has anybody ever seen the special drill bits they use on "American Chopper" they look like a cone and it gradually gets bigger. It seems they are always using those. Anybody ever use those type of bits?

 

I thought this was gonna be a different kind of thread :rick:

 

i like ryobi for the price

 

My family owns a construction business, and working summers on crew I seemed to gather that Makita and Dewalt >*. Just don't get anything under 9.6 volts if you plan on doing anything extreme with it or you'll be sorry.

I think they're called "taps" but then again, I could be wrong.

 

Nah, it's not a tap. It's a special bit itself that looks like if you stacked progresssivly smaller cylinders on top of each other.

 

Hmm, seem to have confused name with function.
