Thanks for the input. I will not be using it for any heavy duty work. I did use it to drill holes in brick, and the hammer seemed to help. As with anything, it has its limitations, but I think I made the correct choice.

[Drill Press]

I wish to buy a moderately priced drill press for around $200. I realize that I won't find a press comparable to those costing hundreds or thousands more. I need a workable, reliable drill press for occasional drilling wood and metal. Any thoughts by anyone with experience utilizing a drill press in this price range. I am looking at the DELTA DP300L 12-Inch TwinLaser Crosshair Drill Press offered by amazon.com for $179. Thanks.

Never mind. I ordered the Milwaukee, although could have had the Bosch for $99.00 + tax at Lowe's.

[Decisions, decisions]

I am in the market for a new cordless drill/driver to replace my old faithful 21 year-old Makita. I have narrowed my search to the Milwaukee 2411-22 12 volt Sub-compact hammer drill-driver and the Bosch 36618-02 18-Volt 1/2-Inch Compact-Tough Litheon Drill/Driver. Both are in the same basic price range; $159 and $153.25 respectively at Amazon.com. While the Bosch has more torque-400 vs 275 for the Milwaukee, I like the size, hammer feature and the warranty of 5 years vs 3 for the Bosch. Also, the battery on the Milwaukee appears to last longer. If anyone has extensive experience with either tool, I would appreciate your experience and/or opoinions. Thank you.
