[QUOTE="dthoms, post: 603916, member: 35596"] Zio, I'm in about the same position, I have a 15.6V Craftsman Industrial model. It has been one tough a__ drill, in fact about a couple of years ago I was helping my dad build a shed. He had a newer Dewalt and I had my older Craftsman, he was so impressed he went out and bought a Craftsman. This guy knows his tools. But after about 7 or 8 years it is shot, I've used it for every thing from building decks (amateur) and drilling out broken bolts, and hardened tapered pins on printing presses. I have also used Makita's and been very happy with them. I am leaning toward the Makita, I don't remember the model but they have one that I've seen on sale for about $200 and it has the nickel hydrate batteries. I don't no what kind of luck you have had with batteries but in my experience those metal hydrate batteries out last anything I have every seen. Also they have no memory so if you want to recharge a half dead battery you can do so with out harming the life of the battery. If you buy one with the normal cadium type batteries always make sure that you run the batteries dead before recharging, this will extend the battery life. If you can buy one with a light attachment so when the battery is to dead to operate the drill you can use the light to drain the rest of the battery before recharging. So check out the Makita's with the metal hydrate batteries, and let me know what you think. I would be glad to here anyones comments for or against the different types of batteries. There seems to be some sharp people on this forum. [/QUOTE]
