ive used them all,in my opinon craftsman drills suck,the dont last long at all.same goes for the cheap black and decker junk..dewalt is ok but its just another black and decker with a little more quality.i have a 18volt and 24volt makita tool kit and i cant kill them,and yes they have been dropped off many roofs..

 

Well, so much for that idea. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img] What about just running over it with a truck?

 

I bought a 12V from Harbor Freight. I couldn't pass it up...$12.99 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] it's worked good so far. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

one of those there disposable models[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

i have a 9 volt makita that I got about 10 years ago and it just won't give me a reason to upgrade yet

 

lol,believe it or not but i was working on siding a house and the contractors kid came driving in,he drove up onto the lawn and ran over the 18v cordless kit,the handle on the saw broke and the case was messed up but the drill was fine,does that count as being run over?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Yup, it do. Moving on, how about explosives? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Have the 19.2 porter cable kit (drill, circular, sawzall, flashlight) nice set. Was a present, would not pay that much for myself.

 

I love my Milwaukee 18v set. I had a Mikita 9/12 volt for years. Finally the 12v battery died. Couldn't find anymore 12v batteries[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] So, decided it was time to upgrade. Otherwise I would still have the Mikita. Gave it to my brother in law. It's still in the family and he had 9v batteries to go with it. When I think of Panasonic, I think of tv's. Anyone know who makes them for Panasonic? I would think it's sort of like tires. Only 3 or 4 major makers. And they cater to anyone willing to put their own name on a tire for a price.
