Lithium Drill Porn
My old Ryobi ate its final shitburger this afternoon while hanging new sheet rock. It was the industrial grade, bad MF that took ten+ years of my abuse. Dropped more than Billy Blastoff and abused like a rented mule.
RIP ol’ friend.
With that said, Popular Mechanics did a review on Lithium drills and in taking their advice, I bought the winner. What can I say about my new friend? This sucker has enough torque to snap a lugnut off a wheel.

I bought the Craftsman C3 setup a while back.
When the lithium batteries for them came out, I grabbed them immediately. AMAZING; and an amazing value.
I’m about to look at some of these, and I ought to save that link. Looks like the makita is a good buy- I’ve had good luck wiht their products in the past.
Lisa got me the 4-pack Ryobi kit for my birthday last month. A friend has had the pre- Li-Ion 18v set for several years, and they’re actually pretty sturdy for aggressive homeowner projects.
Happy to see PM thought highly of the drill as well.
That Hitachi looks like it’s been attacked by Anime ninjas! My cordless is a Fein 14v. drill.
