i’m a working plumber and want to get a 24 volt cordless sds hammer drill. the lithium ion is a bit pricey so prob settle for nicad.have heard mixed reports about the dewalt and makita, the makita having bad batteries and the dewalt shaking itself apart. any of this true. any help would be great!!
cheers

Is any one else confused about all of the different power tools offered by craftsman? I have been looking to get a cordless drill and circular saw, and have been running into some confusing things. There is C3 drills, with diehard, w/out diehard, Lithium ion but two different kinds of them and then i found two drills that were exactly the same (same battery, same torque, same driver size) and they were priced almost $100 apart. I was wondering if there is a review website or somewhere where they compare them side by side. If you know of such a place please let me know.

Will the batteries that come with the Makita 18V Compact Lithium-Ion cordless tools (white) power the regular line of Makita 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tools (blue)?

i was wondering if the lithium power tools was worth their weight?
i got a porter cable 18volt, and was wondering before i use it if the lithium was worth the price difference?
I was also wondering about porter cable circular saw?
I actually ned a trim saw instead!
