    I agree with #1 but if you can spend another $25-$30, I would highly suggest the craftsman 17310 (http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00917310000P)for $75 with coupon sears5off50 or $63 refurbished. Lithium battery is so much nicer, lasts much longer, smaller, lighter, charges faster and has full power until dead.

    The model #2 refers to...


    - Is lighter
    - Not much smaller
    - Does not "last much longer", you'd need larger, higher mAH Li-Ion pack for that to be true
    - Does charge faster
    - Shorter lifespan in # of years till battery must be replaced
    - Battery replacement costs more
    - Does not have "full power until dead", both have voltage decrease as they discharge

    In an ideal world lithium batteries would be best if they didn't die within 4-5 years. In this world, there is not much reason to buy one at same price, letalone higher price, unless you are a contractor who has to hold the (lower) weight all day long so the weight difference matters.

    I take that back, a small woman might find a 19.2V NiCd or NiMH drill too heavy to use for shorter periods of time.
