I have a few dewalts. First one's almost 20 years now Tough as nails. As mentioned earlier, they are a good deal when sold in kits on sale (christmas usually).
Batteries are pricey... It's cheaper to buy a new drill and get 2 batteries included when on sale...
Just throwing it out there, but I have been pretty happy with my porter cable lithiums. Yea, they hate to be cold, but i believe that is just LI batteries.
Anyone know how to tell the difference between commercial and residential Dewalt?

There is only two words you really need to know "PORTER CABLE" .... You can't go wrong !
The best 18v stuff is the Milwaukee with brushless motors and lithium ion batteries. Everything will move that direction soon.
But be sure that you need 18v. The 12v stuff has really improved over the last few years, and it's now usually adequate for household use.
