Don't skimp on the volts. I have had a 7.2, 12, and I now have a 19.2 and I have recharged the battery once since Christmas and I use it pretty regular for a Harry Homeowner.

When I was renovating I found my cordless drills very usefull. Now that I have a job I find them quite useless. Most of the time the batteries are run down and I just go get the cord and good old electric drill ($20) and git er done.
The electric drill seems so much lighter also.
I am on holidays so I am doing a deck for a person and I am using his tools. My wrists hurt from using those drills all day. He wants everything screwed. 18 volt and a 19. something.
I thing that is how much they weigh also.
I dont use them every day now so I think I will stick to my little electric.

I have two Dewalt 1/2", 18 Volt drills and one Firestorm 3/8", 18 volt dril plus one Firestorm 12 volt impact driver. The Dewalt is the all around best because of it's special snap lock chuck but the Firestorm is OK for drilling holes. Look for a drill with two speeds and the max speed should be around 1500 RPM. The drill should have two batteries and a 1 hour quick charger for continuous service when you are cranking out the work. The impact driver is very good at driving phillips heads and doing nut running chores.

I found the Firestorm drill kit in a pawn shop for $45. It was brand new in a box with two batteries and a slow, 3 hour, charger. I have added a $20 quick charger from Amazon.com

The wife has no idea of what I have invested in any of my tools. I have no idea of what she has in sewing machines or Longaberger baskets and want to keep it that way.

I would recommend you get Lithium Ion batteries. I bought the 18V Makita last Christmas with the LI batteries, and am very impressed with the performance-not so much the price of the extra batteries though LOL! Greg

I finally broke down and bought one a couple months ago for a big carpentry project I'm doing.
Handy as a doorknob. Wonder why I didn't buy one sooner.

18volt 1/2" chuck Rigid from Home depot $180

Yep, that's what I've got only with a circ. saw and flashlight. Kind of on the heavy side, but I'm sure there'll be a time when I'll need all 18 volts, and I've already used the hammer setting a couple times. Seems like Ridgid makes some pretty good tools nowadays.

I agree with Bob M. Spend some money and get a good drill. I bought a re-conditioned 18 volt Ridgid kit and have been very pleased with it. The charger can charge 2 batteries in 30 minutes which is nice when you're drilling or driving lots of heavy stuff all day. I got a cheapo 18V from Menard's for Christmas, and the batteries were junk. Go nuts and spend a couple hundred, you'll be glad you did.

Thats the point.
Every time we go to Menards. I grab a dril and put it in the cart. " I am getting this today"

Wife looks at me and says" Do you really need that today?

I say... well no I guess not. So I put it back.

Last night I harp up and say. I got to run to Menards and get a drill.

Why????

I need to drill some holes in the post for the gate.

..... ...Why dont you just use your generator.....

I guess I could do that...

I am just coming home with one. Only get yelled at for a little wile.

Does that generator have an invertor or something or is that just standard on "home" style generators?

Wife"s uncle has a portable welder, with "AC" receptacles on it, but I"ve been told not to use my grinder and drills "n such with it, as it"ll burn "em up?

What am I missing?

Huh... Inventor? I dont know what that is.

This is just a cheapie 4000 watt generator from Menards. Picked it up a couple years ago to keep the fridge and possably a TV running incase of power outage.

I stuck it on the air compressor once just to see. HAHAHAHA wont be running that with this.

How big a compressor? Should be able to power a small (110 V) single stage, I'd think...25 amp or so, quite easily.

Matt - Compressors for some reason require a LOT of current to get started. I have 1 HP, single stage belt drive compressor. The motor is wired for 240 volts, and the startup unloader works properly. My 4 KW generator will start it, but it really struggles - must have absolutely no other load connected to the generator when the pressure switch closes.

However once the compressor gets up to speed it only lightly loads the generator.

Kelly C: Stick a crowbar in your wallet and buy yourself a good cordless drill. After a few uses you'll wonder how you ever got along without it!

Did not work. Not enough joice to get it started. I think if the compressor was running it could keep it going. Just not enough to start it.
