re: Favorite Power Tools Brand?

LWL, funny you mention black & Decker. I used to have a b&d cordless drill. It was big and heavy – before the small lithium ion batteries came out. It was 19v , very powerful and was a perfect handyman drill. It had one feature I haven’t seen lately: a bit storage clip that fit 2 bits. It was great to have a flat head, #2 and #3 always handy for the handyman work I was doing. They were all used frequently. The only reason I got rid of it was when the batteries both died, replacement ones were as expensive as a new drill and by that time the lithium ion lighter weight ones were in vogue so I went with a different brand. But that bit storage thing – as small of a detail it was – was very important to me. Small things can have a big impact.
