My Hitachi is finally dying. I have to say, it's really been quite a workhorse for about 4 or 5 years, so no regrets buying it. The low gear is finally starting to act up. It will pop out of gear and grind. The batteries are still original, though Great drill.
Here's what I'm thinking now. Usually, I get a honkin' drill because I need to be able to drive screws too, but what do you guys know about the new compact impact drivers? Maybe it makes more sense to get a lighter drill and just for drilling, and then a driver for driving? Can those tiny little driver really drive like my big 'ole heavy drills?
What do you guys think? I'm just looking for opinions and recommendations. There's soooo much to choose from out there, I just don't have the bandwidth to go on yet another quest for a power tool.
