I'm in the market for an 18V cordless drill. I was looking at
http://tinyurl.com/2g9bkl and was wondering if anyone has it and
could give me their opinion.
Thanks,
bonnie jean

Not it but have two of "old-style" 18V Milwaukee Red -- _it_ I like a
lot and recommend highly. This one, not yet seen...

Haven't used that one, but it is hard to go wrong with milwaukee.
Here is a link to a test of 18 volt cordless drills from march
of last year. You might find some helpful info there:

Milwaukee tools is now owned by a China Company as is Rigid Tool
Company. I use Dewalt and don't know who owns them, but you can't
beat DeWalt.
Don't buy a 3/8 inch drill motor but the 1/2 inch one. The 18 volt
DeWalt XRP 1/2 inch is commonly used by contractors and is the best on
the market.
Mine is made in Mexico. It is almost impossible to find tools made in
the USA. I have used my XRP for 8 hours on one battery charge for
installing metal roofing screws.

DeWalt is Japanese Black and Decker. It's pretty decent, maybe a
little crude compared to Milwaukee. Of the maybe 20 brands of tools in
my shop, Milwaukee and (are you ready for this?) Makita seem to get
the job done best, Bosch next, Hitachi, Panasonic (hard to find),
Porter Cable (sanders mostly), and down on the list Craftsman power
tools. Pretty high on the list, Craftsman's hand tools, made by
Danaher, the people that also make Matco professional tools. FWIW...
