Recommendation for new cordless drill?

dont laugh but has anyone ever tried this? is it a waste of money? 4.8 Volt Cordless Screwdriver Kit i have all kinds of large heavy drills but having been eying this one for light work. i can picture having to switch to the heavy one every 4th screw but it would be lovely on my neck at just over a pound.

I wouldn't bother with it when another $10 gets you this one? Yes, it's a little bit heavier but one heck of a lot more powerful.

Makita is the best cordless drill out there.

Sears has Dewalt drills with waranty for a little extra $.
IDK whether they even check the serial # when one is returned, I knew a guy who had four dewalts and waranty on ONE and each time one broke, they gave him a new one, and like a whole crew was using them daily...

Anyway, I personally hate batteries, but a power inverter (12V- 120V) to power the corded drills and angle grinders costs more than the cordless stuff...
There's also a regulator out there (about 100psi from CO2) to connect paintball tanks to air-tools seems worth looking into(?)

Well, just replying since it's in "recents" is all...Good Luck!
