    If anyone is looking for a corded drill to do pocket screws this Ryobi is given high marks. It has a clutch much like a cordless drill has.

    My first drill ever was a B & D 3/8 corded VS reversible. Almost 40 years ago...

    It was almost indestructible - lasted for many years of abuse, falls, cheapy portable drill press (remember those!?!) sander, etc and what ever else I needed a drill for. When you only have one power tool, you have to make it work for you!

    It finally got replaced a few years ago with a Dewalt, but severed me well. Quality probably isn't as good these days but it did a lot for me.

    I'm one that thinks you don't need a $300 drill just to make a hole.

    Production work? That is a different story...
    Funny, I don't remember being absent minded...
