    With black friday sales quickly approaching, one tool that I lack is a general purpose cordless drill.

    I have a 20+ year-old craftsman drill with a 3/8" chuck which has never failed me, but between the weight, keyed chuck, the power cord, and smaller chuck size, it does tend to be a hindrance at times.

    So, what are the good brands of cordless drills these days?

    Thanks for thr feedback everyone

    I won't need to drill concrete, so it doesn't sound like a hammer drill will be necessary.

    Anyone happen spot any sales for dewalt drills?

    Looks like 20v models with a spare battery and charger are $99 from a few hardware stores.

    Quoted from Trekie:

    Big box stores sell consumer grade.
    The trades use commercial grade. They look the same, have a similar item number.
    One of the big differences is the commercial grade have steel gears not plastic and better switches.
    This info was forth coming from a DeWalt rep.

    Where could you find the commercial grade tools?
