My 10 year old 14.4 Makita drill is slowly wearing out, Ni-mH battery packs are getting tired, clutch in the drill chuck is starting to not lock up in drill mode, and so on........

Anyone have any good sources, or suggestions, on a good modern technology cordless drill?

I know they have Lithium Ion batteries now, as well as some attractive "Drill/Skill-saw/saws-all sets."

I don't really want a monster sized 24+ volt pack, too heavy, maybe an 18 or 20-22 volt max.

Suggestions on where to get a good deal besides Flea-bay?


thanks!
