HaHa- crazy threads everyday here... Dewalt-
Just today was using my what used to be trusty 10 year old Dewalt XRP 18V, hammer drill to bore some simple 1/2 holes thru treated 4 X 4 columns and 3/16 steel bracket (set on concrete pad). The damn internals decided to crunch with a nasty grind (not the clutch) but something in the lower setting of the three ratio's. Went to an immediate lock. Somehow I was able to free the jammed gear selection switch and she's now working again... . Never had an issue until today. Has the good German jaw to bite those bit shanks, fourth set of rebuilt batteries, replaced motor brushes twice but think it might be close to being done with.
Other cordless: I've been pleased with the Ridgid and when purchased, four or five years ago, the 100% lifetime warranty was the best deal ever! Includes batteries. I like the smoother or more precise armature and feather trigger.
