Recommend me a Cordless Drill | Construction and DIY projects | Forums

I would go buy the cheapest Ryobi or Black and Decker you can find. Unless you plan on working it hard I think a cheap one would hold up pretty well. I wouldn't recommend buying a used drill off of Craigslist because the battery could be worthless, and that gets expensive.

FYI I had borrowed a cheap set Ryobi 18V tools and I practically finished the whole inside of our house with it. It did everything I asked it to do -- same as the high end RIGID stuff I bought to replace it.

I'm a big fan of Dewalt products, they're rugged and last a really long time. I've had my drill going on 7 years now and she's still strong.I'd go for something like this:

It's a few extra bucks, but you get two batteries (which are like $100 by themselves anyway) so you can always have one on charge. Plus you get an extra tool. If you just want the bare bones drill or impact driver or drill you can get them for like $120 with one battery.
