   So what you are saying is Festool is out of the question :)

   I have a Milwaukee kit that is 12v, purchased as a kit for $250, its 
2 tools, a drill and a impact driver.   I really like the setup and i 
looked into M18 drills since I liked it so much but found the weight to 
be too much so stuck with 12v.  Higher voltage is nice but weight goes 
up quickly and if you are doing any work above your head that will tire 
you out quickly.

  I do have a Festool drill also and those batteries last forever, I 
only have the Festool though because I loaned out my Milwaukee drill one 
time and needed a drill with a offset chuck, for a homeowner/hobbyist I 
do readily admit I have too many Festool toys.  The Milwaukee does 
everything the Festool does for 1/4th the price, except for the offset 
chuck.
