I've been looking at some of the drill/driver kits being offered on sale at Home Depot and Amazon. I like the weight and feel of all brands but the Milwaukee set feels the best. My concern is the "baby" 1.5 MA batteries. Does anyone here own a drill with one of these batteries? Are you happy with the run time you're getting and the recharging time. Thanks for any comments. Don

Thanks for all the very helpful replies. I think I can make a decision now using all that you've said about the drill's performance. I have a beast of a 12 volt Ridgid that I bought several years on special with 3 battery chargers and 2 batteries. Over the years 2 chargers and one battery have conked out, My Porter Cable 14.4 volt is going strong but one battery has gone bad. My Makita driver/drill set is working fine and I have two good batteries. My old joints just cry out for something lighter. I'm thinking about getting one of the $199 sets that HD has and giving some of my others to my grandson and maybe a friend. I bought a Ridgid 6 1/2" circular saw Sunday so I'll soon know how that works out. Way way lighter than my all metal Craftsman from 1967 that still works like a new one but soon I'll need help to pick it up.
The Ridgid with the lifetime service warranty is tempting:yes::yes:
Thanks again. Don
