I went through this decision not that long ago. I focused mostly on Dewalt a=
nd Milwaukee, but also gave serious consideration to Craftsman and Ryobi. I w=
ent with Milwaukee M18 in the end because already have their M12 tools and l=
iked the fact that one charger could handle both batteries. I like the M18 t=
ools a lot, but am not sure I=E2=80=99d make the same decision today for two=
related reasons. First, I am cheap and Dewalt (and the others) seem to go o=
n sale pretty regularly. Significant Milwaukee sales are rare. The other rea=
son is that the other manufacturers seem to have more tools available and th=
ey are introducing additional ones more frequently. I used to buy tools fro=
m multiple brands and have too many different batteries and chargers. I am d=
etermined to stay focused on one brand and going with someone other than Mil=
waukee would have made that cheaper and easier. I know you are only looking a=
t a drill right now, but it doesn=E2=80=99t hurt to think ahead to other too=
ls you might want.=20
Hope that helps.=20
