drills
A drill is a tool fitted with a cutting tool attachment or driving tool attachment, usually a drill bit or driver bit, used for boring holes in various materials or fastening various materials together with the use of fasteners. The attachment is gripped by a chuck at one end of the drill and rotated while pressed against the target material. The tip, and sometimes edges, of the cutting tool does the work of cutting into the target material. This may be slicing off thin shavings (twist drills or auger bits), grinding off small particles (oil drilling), crushing and removing pieces of the workpiece (SDS masonry drill), countersinking, counterboring, or other operations.
Drills are commonly used in woodworking, metalworking, construction and do-it-yourself projects. Specially designed drills are also used in medicine, space missions and other applications. Drills are available with a wide variety of performance characteristics, such as power and capacity.

I've been starting to toy with a new series idea for my weekly column at RedState, a "Drill of the Month." Basically, posting a drill or an LE/Military qualification course-of-fire, and inviting the readers to shoot it and submit their best score for acknowledgment in the next month's DOTM...
OK, guys, I've done about all the drilling by hand that my hand will let me, and I need some advice.
Specifically, I need a recommendation for a cordless drill to put a 3/8" hole through a 1.25" block of 7075-T6 aluminum, or a 1/2" one through various plastics. (I know, conventional answer is...
