Got a Rigid hammerdrill at work, 18v I think, and it's a tank. There's a flashlight as part of the kit too. NFI, just works well in the field. Safety Fast! Gordie Bird '62 MGA '67 MGBGT

One word for you: Grizzly.com Their 18v stuff is inexpensive, very well kitted (nice case, accessories, etc) and darn impossible to kill after 3+ years of working it hard. Larry Ruggiero Warner Robin

I've been nothing but happy with my Ryobi 12 volt. They don't make my model any more, I think you have to go to the 14v to get the gearbox, but that's what I'd buy right now. http://www.ryobitools.c

FWIW, I've administered electro-shock to one of my 12v Ryobi batteries to resuscitate it several times now. Capacity seems somewhat down, but it still works pretty good. Found a replacement for $36

For me 14.4V is about the 'sweet spot' on weight vs power. I've got an 18V battery Sawzall (need a chunk of sheetmetal at the junkyard? No problem!) but I wouldn't want to carry that battery around
