Default Ridgid mini-me drill...
Got one of these...



... a couple weeks ago. Love it - best thing I ever bought! Just add a 1/4" hex quick-change and start screwin'!

Does pretty good drillin' too - esp. metal as it doesn't have the highest rips in the world.

Now all I need is one of those cool holsters you see TV detectives using for their guns to put it in...

That looks about like the milwaukee I have. What did it run you? 12 volts?

$129.00 - same as the Bosch / Milwaukee. 12 volts lithium.

I used the same battery all week without charging. I mainly use it to un/fasten automobile trim screws and drill holes for rocker switches. It's great under a dash.

When i bought my BOSCH 10.8 pocket driver there wasnt a big selection of mini me's. now, like you guys mention theres the milwaukee, and rigid.
But yeah i love using my drill to do trim. theyre small enough to thorw on your toolbags and not feel that big of weight diffrence.

And I thought I was bad with just one of each.
