Rockler is advertising a metabo powermaxx plus cordless drill driver, 4.8v, that weighs in at +/- 1.5#, is only about 6" long and features an angle drilling/driving ability. The intended use is primarily as a lightweight power screwdriver and for drilling holes up to 1/4". The internet price is $79, but I can shave $10 off that with a private coupon from the store manager.
I have arthritic hands that make holding my heavier 14.4v drill uncomfortable for more than a few minutes, so this smaller unit appeals to me, but I am not familiar with the Metabo brand and have not actually held this one in my own hands. I need to head either north or south tomorrow to do some shopping for other things. North takes me near Rockler. South takes me to my favorite restaurant. Based on your experience with either the brand or with this particular tool, should I go north?
