Kermit, I would encourage you to access the incredible information available on the Amazon.com Tool Crib site regarding your cordless drill purchase. I recently did some extensive research on cordless drills when shopping for a gift for my new son-in-law who uses a cordless drill in his work every day. The highlight of this site for me is the Customer Reviews that are included with most of the many tools they sell (especially the best and worst ones). To get to the "good stuff" follow this path:

Drill-Drivers There were 75 choices listed when I checked this morning, several of them are Milwaukee products, including 12,14.4 and 18 Volt drill/drivers in both T-handle and pistol grip configurations. Be sure to read the Customer Reviews, not just the Amazon Recommendtions. I actually purchased the Panazonic EY6431NQK 15.6V 1/2" Hyperperformance drill because it has the torque of an 18V with the weight and compactness of a 12V. It uses 3 amp NiMH batteries (not NiCad, like almost everything else) which gives it 50% more use time between charges. It also features constant torque at all speeds which is great for driving screws. My Son-in-Law really loves this unit! The Milwaukee unit may be the best for your needs, but at least you can do some serious comparison shopping at this site, regardless of where you buy it. I also bought my drill from Amazon.com and found their ordering, follow up and delivery service to be outstanding. Good luck!
