All kinds of tools with all the same batteries and many chargers. They have done their job. We have a few Rigid tools also. I have burned up more Rigid tools than any others. www.jamesonsultrablend.com www.wildlifepestcontrolservices.com

Had a Makida drill a LONG time ago that was O.K. then switched to Dewalt. Love those newer 20v batteries. Me too. Power tool owners are same as the Ford/Chevy thing Life ain't supposed to be easy.

We knew the company sponsored a ton of rodeo athletes and events so we were happy to buy their product. It probably had 5 or 6 years of fairly hard use on it when a buddy of mine bought a quarter (that's 160 acres for the Canadians) and we all pitched in to help him put up a huge pole barn. When we started sheating the roof, all of his buddies from Wichita and OK City showed up with very expensive industrial grade drills and drivers + at least 3 batteries. They cussed my el cheapo Dewalt because 2 batteries and 1 charger would keep me running indefinitely and even with 3 batteries and 2 chargers they had down time waiting on a fresh battery to fully charge. I told then 99 bucks on black Friday and it ticked them off even worse! I have basically bought every 18V tool they make when they went on clearance when the new 20Vs showed up. Very handy to have on the trap line, the fence line, or a remote set of catch pens. What"s good for me may not be good for the weak minded. Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

Last one I saw was $250 owned by electrician. Impressive cordless. Not like the ones that last a week. Like all gear, they have their place but color matters lol.

I think it can handle the task you mentioned with ease. I paid around $175 for the drill, battery and charger. It's been a great tool.
