I’ll second Dennis’ recommendation! Have the Makita 18v, and it is a work horse, both at home and on the boat.

Subject: Re: Stus-List 12 volt cordless drill John, Take this for what it's worth. I use a cordless drill a lot when working on boats and around the house. After my buddies and I soured on Dewalt cordless drills due to short battery lives, I looked hard. I'm a big fan of Dewalt and Bosch corded tools but found their reviews a bit low. My selection criteria included torque/power, weight and reliability. The weight was related to the fact that I frequently install hardware on mastheads. Holding a drill above my head while drilling down into a masthead was a concern. After a lot of research and reading reviews, I narrowed my selection down to two brands, Metabo and Makita. The Metabo is very pricey so my buddy and I bought Makita 18V drills. We have had excellent experience with them. I highly recommend the Makita 18V cordless drill. I would suggest you look at 18 volt rather than 12 volt. Someday you'll need the extra power. Dennis C.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
