[QUOTE="richg99, post: 454143, member: 4376"] What is out there that is small; reasonable in price; charges quickly; has at least two set speeds ( not a variable speed that you cannot every control properly); a hand-tightened chuck...and will last? The story of my loss is below if anyone cares why I need a new drill. ********************************************* I've had lots of drills over many years. About 9 or 10 years ago, I bought an A123 battery operated Black and Decker VPX 7 volt drill. In fact, I bought two of them. Now, I wish I had bought four or more. As you probably know, the entire A!23 battery company went out of business and the remains were sold to the Chinese. IMHO, the A123 batteries, while low in power, were great for my needs. They charged in an hour or less. The drill itself was small, lightweight and had plenty of power for my around-the-house/garage/boat usage. Anyhow, the last of the two drills died today. I am hoping to resurrect one good one from the two defunct relics, but I have to be a realist. Thanks for any help or suggestions. richg99 [/QUOTE]
