[QUOTE="green-hornet, post: 76266, member: 2683"] I have an old 24 volt DeWalt with a burned out motor thanks to the regular abuse I have given it. The fact that it is burned out would testify that I have found it a usefull tool and used it to its max. If you are an apprentice you will struggle to pay top wack for any tool, a guidline would be to buy the best you could afford. There are many on the market now, that are basic throwaway jobbies, ie not meant to last but are so cheap you could afford to buy one a month. For electricians a good solid drill is a must, rotary stop is not really essential as you will abuse this function.Especially on a battery powered, thats because us electricians are very lazy when it comes to tool selection. I have drills in my tool box that are roughly older than me but still work with great torque and they have been bashed about even more than me. Apart from the 110v and the 240v versions I have hand drills rangeing from 12v to 14,5 volt and 18volt and a very sick 24 volt. All are used daily so I guess I would miss them all. [/QUOTE]
