comparison for drill motors and metal supply
« on: September 07, 2011, 11:25:34 AM »
Hello to those on this site,

Many years ago a comparison site selected the Sears drill motor as the best for the money. Since they were on sale at the time I bought one and subsequently bought another. One's clutch is out and when told the cost of repair I realized I coudl buy another one new for the same price when the shipping was added in.

Recently I used a Dewalt and also a Makita. Man was I impressed by their performance and how long the batteries lasted and how quickly they recharged. Since I have some major projects coming up I want to replace my present drill with a unit that is the best for the money, is well made, and the battery charges last for a long time. There are apparentlya lot of good ones out there. I would be pleased to learn about the best of the bunch, price wise!

Also- I am looking for tubular steel and aluminum sheeting and checker plate. The prices for these are criminal in New Mexico and I am willing to travel to acquire these products at a fair price.
Thanks in advance,

Gene So

Welcome to Tool Talk, Gene.

Our focus is on vintage tools here, though we all use more modern tools, and even some battery operated ones. Not much discussion of Makita and Dewalt.
