Lifetime warranty?Rigid..
Runs lifetime warranty on drill, batteries and chargers... impact driver + drill is like $200~, upgrade to brushless if you can.
$179 for brushed kit
$279 for brushless kit
I dunno if I would do that.@orygun "More powerful than me" is a pretty low bar... remember, I'm the guy whose girlfriend jokes about having more pecs than I do? LOL
Bearing in mind the fact that I need to keep things compact and multipurpose (I have to deal with people who second-guess my TOILET PAPER spending, so it'll be easier to shut the Evil Old Ones up if I snag something that can be useful around the house too, though I expect them to commandeer and "forget to return" it regularly) and useful away from outlets, I think you guys have me down to a couple options.
RIDGID 18-Volt Lithium-Ion 1/2 in. Cordless Compact Drill/Driver Kit-R860052K - The Home Depot
Makita XFD01RW 18V Compact 1/2-Inch Driver-Drill Kit - - Amazon.com
Both only have 3yr warranties, though... if Ridgid really were lifetime I'd have dropped the extra thirty bucks in a heartbeat. Now it's a matter of deciding and looking for coupon codes... I have a rule about "NEVER pay full price if you can avoid it by honest means."
Thanks, guys!

ROTFLMAO That's funny right there Jamie6.5 Never even saw it comin!
Seriously, I would still go Makita, the batteries interchange with more of the tools in the line up, they charge up faster, and the biggest one of all, you will still be able to buy new batteries in 10 years!!! Makita and Dewalt are the only two companies that sell batteries after a tool goes out of production! I have a Makita cordless 9.6V drill that is about 15 years old, and I just bought two brand new batteries at Depot a few weeks ago! Try that with any other tool maker!
6" hole saw building my corn hole tables.. Wrists were sore by the time those were done.Hanging on to those bastard drills when you know there gonna grab is like hey, grab that 110 wire. I'm a pretty strong man, but not that strong!! Lol

I think a corded drill is always best. But only if it has a break on it. Not sure if they call it that. Dang wrist breakers if not.
I've been a dewalt guy, but I've heard makita is a lot better.
