Just buy a corded drill and be done with it. The problem with battery operated tools is you leave them unplugged until you need them, then you have to charge them up. IF you do leave them plugged in to charge you don't need them for along time and burn them up. IF you are in the trades, cordless is the way to go. IF your weekend warrior, buy a corded drill and be done with it. Face it, your not going anywhere where there isn't power 25-50' away.
