I agree on the Craftsman 19.2. I enjoy working with mine quite a bit. I picked up the drill/driver & right-angle drill combo for $100 a little over a year ago to do renovations on our house, and have been very happy with it. They keep coming out with additional tools that use the powerpack too, and some of them are even worthwhile.

I used to run a DeWalt contracting until I finally killed it off, leading to the Craftsman. Would I sling the C-man for contracting? Don't know, but for general home duty and modestly serious work, it does just fine.

(BTW, the DeWalt was preceded by an old 9.6 Makita that died a valiant death contracting <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)

I was cleaning the gutters and tightening things down up on the roof the other day, and dropped my 2 month old Craftsman 19.2 volt drill from the second story onto the concrete patio. It bounced about 10 feet in the air, and stuck in the ground.

I went down the ladder, tried it out, and wouldn't you know, works fine and nothing is bent or cracked.

Not bad for a $89 drill. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
