I appreciate it!

I haven't started any side by side tests yet. Been having too much problems with my camera and other things. Anyways I'll put the two side by side and run them on their highest speed and tell you if the dewalt is noticeably faster.
All i can say is that when I had the dcd985 I didn't notice any difference on high speed but that's the older drill. Not sure if 150rpm is noticeable but I'll check it out later
Thanks! Looking forward to hearing what you say.

I work in the RV industry and use Ryobi everyday for last 5 years. The reason I've stayed with them is the tool selection. If I have to work on an RV out on the lot you can't use anything but cordless. The cordless caulk gun has saved me many man hours resealing the rubber roofs. Now I must admit that I don't use the ryobi drills. They're way too slow and heavy. I use hitachi for my compact and heavy duty drills. Looking to upgrade to the brushless dewalts or milwaukee. I do use the heck out of the cordless impact driver and it is quite a bit more powerful than my hitachi compact impact. These tools have never let me down and I beat on them daily. The nicad batteries suck. I only use the high capacity 4.0s now at work and use the compact lithiums for home use. For the price point they can't be beat.

Is the speed difference between the dcd995 and the milwaukee m18 fuel noticeable when being held side by side? The specs show that the dewalt should be faster but would like to hear from people who have actually used both. I work in the RV industry and drill a lot of holes in thick steel so speed would be a selling point for me. I'm currently using a hitachi dv18dl and it has been an excellent drill for the last 4 plus years for thick steel drilling. Please give me any good or bad input. I've got the itch to upgrade and have narrowed it down between the dewalt and milwaukee. Thanks!!.
Curious about Ryobi opinions...

Didn't realize milwaukee had a caulk gun until you mentioned it. That's just made my decision for me! Although I will wait to buy a new one when my ryobi craps out. Thanks!
