Still sucks though - especially when you have a shop in the middle of nowhere and the Snap-On guy doesn't want to make the drive.
3 is next to 2 and I fail at typing in the morning after working all night....

Blow through a dewalt a year(plastic gearboxes strip out like clockwork), My Bosch crapped out in the summer heat (the motor got hot enough to melt the plastic body of the drill and spun inside) and I am now onto a white and black Makita that my boss gave me. Said it was the only cordless 1/2" drill that had actual metal gears in it. We will see.
I actually have that Mikita Li-ion drill in my box. It survived about 8 months of daily heavy use (3 batteries a day) drilling out titanium screws, nailing down floor panels, assembling lavs (blue juice is nasty stuff), cargo bins, sheet metal work, and getting dropped 25 feet off an engine. It's still going pretty strong now though currently its relegated to wood work, drywall, and the occasional automotive use. Plus the 15 minute recharge on the batteries is very convenient. All in all I'd say it was a good 200 dollars spent.
