Its a nice drill if its the Li-Ion battery, Milwaukee has a new Li-Ion
12v minature drill driver out, if weight is a concern, it also fits in
your pocket. Ridgid has a new line of Li-Ion 18v and minature 12v.
Ridgid has a lifetime warranty even on batteries.

No experience with Milwaukee, but --

Craftsman -- decent tool, but batteries die quickly and are expensive to
replace -- plus they have several different types of 18V batteries which are
not interchangable
Ryobi -- Light weight, but batteries don't hold charge for very long and
need to be swapped frequently
Ridgid -- Heavy tool, but batteries seem to provide power for extremely long
time, plus all parts (including batteries) have a life-time guarantee.

The biggest operating expense for cordless tools seems to be the replacement
batteries, so the Ridgid guarantee is important to me. I bought several of
their 18V tools and batteries (to always have charged ones on hand) and
if/when a battery can't be recharged I send it back to them and they send me
a free replacement. Regards --

the li-ion batteries by milwaukee have an internal counter which count the
number of times the batteries have been charged. they are warrantied up to
2,000 charges so that's pretty damn good.
