cordless drill poll

[396_WAYS_TO_SPIT]

Im looking to replace all of my junk a$$ makita drills. I just want to see what people have and how they like it. Please post what you have for a cordless drill(brand,size,voltage,etc). I am leaning on a dewalt or milwaukee. Who has the best warranty,battery power,etc?
Thx,396

18-volt Dewalt.
Pros:
- Tons of power
- Long battery life
Cons:
- Pretty heavy for sustained use...

Didn't we do this a few months ago? Its like Deja Vu all over again.....
I use DeWalt and they last a few years. I go 14.4 volts, as a good compromise between power and weight. They recharge pretty rapidly and are pretty cheap to have repaired when the chucks wear out.
In our shop we have Makita 14's, (wimpy) Bosch (heavy, and it broke) and a couple of Dewalt 24's (too heavy). Someone had a Firestorm but we made so much fun of him, he bought something else.....

I have used Dewalt and have not complaints. My first one was a 12 volt. I was thinking about going to the 18, but did not like how heavy it is. I think I will take Mandelons advice and go with the 14.

I just got a 19.2 Craftsman it was a pretty killer cordless set at Sears with a flourescent light, circular saw and sawzall. It was like $169 for the whole set and came with 2 batteries. So far it works really well.

I have an 18v Milwaukee and love it! I will never get tired of it.
Hey IVAN DAN, I sent you a link on the HID issue in TOW RIGS.

The main thing I'm looking for is battery life and torque. My makitas are JUNK and they dont hold charge very well. My corded drill is very nice but I hate dragging out all them damn cords.
