  1. I have recently eased my way into installing ductless/split AC systems. I have been using a Craftsman 19.2 V drill for driving screws and hole sawing 2-5/8" holes. The drill has been doing pretty well for a $100 drill but I do run into situations often enough when I putting holes in old, hard, double 2x6s or I need to anchor screws in foundations so I'm looking for a hammer drill that can do those things. Initially I thought I would get a cordless that could do it all like the DeWalt DC925KA but after talking to a co-worker he suggested a corded Milwaukee like the 5387-22 and keeping the Craftsman around do drive screws. I guess I have pretty much decided that having a corded drill is the way to go for a variety of reasons (no battery issues, more power, cheaper, etc.) but I was curious if anyone else had any other thoughts on my situation. Thanks.
  2. I paid $90 on sale for my Craftsman 19.2 V drill with 2 batteries and a flashlight. For a DIYer it's a very nice drill. My brother has a $250 DeWalt for around the house and he felt stupid buying that much drill when mine did the work we were doing just fine. But, I've bee using the drill at work (I occasionally do installs) and I need to hole saw 2-5/8 holes. It does the job but I'm definitely stretching its limitations. I'm looking to buy a corded Milwaukee before I kill the poor Craftsman.
