Hammer drills are all the rage now for driving screws. It does work better, especially with Phillips head. But, if for nothing else, get a 3/8" chuck battery drill of a good make. Everyone should have one of those.

Newest out in the battery field is the multi tool. Don't have one yet, but I'm thinking about it.

I think I'll go to the Home Defect and see what the gig is.

Milt,

I am a huge fan of the Muti tool. I wanted one way before they had the dumb infomercials. Fein is a fine, fine tool. I now also own a Bosch cordless muti tool. They do the job of a Sawall but with much better precision. I use it to cut moulding and hidden nails mostly. I never use the sander or grout removal tool. That's all the tool is really good for but if it ever breaks, I will have another immediately.
