Help me pick a cheap drill.


Recommended Posts

I bought some craftman drills years ago few hundred dollars iirc they were ok...

I bought some cheap HF cordless after that and honeslty there work pretty good for what I paid..

I want to get an impact and figured might as well get a combo kit.

My aunt has a ryobi set and is very impressed within them.

I was gonna pick up a set from home depot.

But I came across this as well, and im wondering if itd be better. Its 30 bux less and its 20v versus 18v which doesn't seem like a huge deal but idk maybe it is. I found a nearly identical black and decker set I think they are the same just rebranded.

Check out your local walmart. We carry bostich now. Iirc the drill impact combo is 199. I could be wrong. But worth checking out.

Found online. Only 162. Its only 18v but id be willing to bet the 18v bostitch is as goos or better than 20v Stanley lol

What type of use will you be using them for light home use , heavy home use, or work use? I would stay away from ryobi when I was in the trades we killed ryobi tools like you wouldn't believe some didn't make it a week.

For home use, I picked up Craftsman. Got a C2 19.2 volt 1/2" impact as an open box special for $80 with battery and charger. Also got a cordless drillin the same series (shares batteries) and an extra lithium battery off Amazon (drill was like $40 or so just the tool, battery was about another $40 new.) They're adequate for my use.

For occasional home use I'm sure the Stanley tools will work out fine. although I have never used them Stanley also owns porter cable, and bostitch which both make decent tools so I'm sure you will be good to go. Me personally though the cheapest I go is dewalt but I used my tools to make a living so the price is justifiable to me.
