Need help from the handy people

What is a good drill to get & where is the best place to buy it? Nothing too expensive. My DH is always complaing about his.

FH has a Craftsman one from Sears..I think this is it. Sears has a good department for that stuff...

ETS: The drills really range in price--I think the cheapest was around $30 or so, on up...Not sure how different the quality is from the cheapest to the best, but his has worked well so far....

Here is a $5 Sears coupon...Sears ...Hey, everything helps when you're saving for a wedding!

DH gets his drills at sears also - I think they are in the $100 range for a cordless drill that includes a case, some bits, two batteries & a charger. (He may buy the extra battery seperately though.)

This is the one I have. I got it on sale for under $100 last year

My FH swears by DeWalt.

Dewalt 18v is my primary use but I also have a few Ryobi and one Craftsman. The Craftsman is the worst. 19v of useless torque. The ryobi ones are angled and work well plus they are the least expensive. That company has a whole line of cordless tools that I use and the battery can be interchanged so they are nice to have. Good luck with your decision.
