LOL. Why not just say that instead of all the other pseudo-expert shit you you pulled out?
Alky, I actually do need to put a peep hole on the door of the house my brother just bought, that's one reason I need a drill, haha. You're saying I have to get the 1/2" models for me to be able to do this? Sorry for the questions; i don't know much about these (just that some are 3/8" and some are 1/2", whatever that means).
That's what he said but not what he's saying. Just know that he would get the $400 drill if he could because that matters.

umm bro, this is a tech forum...we are going to be just D-I-Y-ers and hobby types.
Most expect to grab their drills and have the combination bit at least attached.
I do believe you are capable of a full page tirade on this, but that is why certain meds were invented.
I'd seek some.
I guess I should be helpful now. OP, none of it matters. You can drill holes with an impact driver and you can run in screws with a drill. It gets even better, sometimes, the other way around. Get one of the red, or yellow, or blue, or green ones that fit your budget from the orange or blue store and use it. If you don't like it bring it back and get a different one.
You can buy one bit with a reduced shank to fit the chuck of the drill you haven't bought yet.Alky, I actually do need to put a peep hole on the door of the house my brother just bought, that's one reason I need a drill, haha.

Not a big DIYer - but we do the occasional project in an effort to save money from having to hire people. We just put in hardwood floors if that helps.
As much as I appreciate the flexibility of cordless - I can honestly say my next drill will be corded. I say that simply because regardless of which cordless you get - it simply isn't powerful enough to handle many jobs from being cordless. With my latest project I had to mix fast drying floor leveler. So I needed a drill that could mix the wet cement-like-mixture...... Basically suicide for anything cordless.
Pretty much it's not the power but cordless drills aren't the right tool for continuous mixing duties. Like many air compressors can't handle sand blasting duties.

Why would a DIYers or hobby type be worried about their battery dying after 500+ charges? Thats right they wouldn't so I could say exactly the same thing about all your Li-ion is da best talk that you posted earlier in the thread.
Go bore (pun intended) someone to death with the amazing story of how you drilled a peephole like a boss 3 years ago old man.
Or perhaps you could use your extensive knowledge of tools and construction to go build a house that isn't in the middle of the ghetto.
damn, that is one of the most angry posts I have seen.
Just a visual example, genius. You can buy them for either size chuck.Those all look like 1/2" shanks which will not work in a 3/8" drill.

Do you not read your own posts? How was this relevant to the thread?
If you want to get me angry you will have to work a bit harder though, you aren't close yet sorry.
they're called 'silver/deming' bits
1/2" chucks to change out 3/8" ones are available for $10 :http://www.harborfreight.com/1-2-half-inch-jacobs-keyed-chuck-45731.html
drills are (usually - i dont' think i've seen one different) standardized to 1/2-20 thread on the chuck, usually you remove a left hand philips or flat head screw in the head and drive the drill backwards to get it off
I think I'm going to just get an 18 volt drill. That way if I ever need more power I can have it. Did anyone look at that bostitch drill I linked to earlier?
