I'd go with a DeWalt or Craftsman. There are a lot of good cordless drills out there, just depends on how much money you want to spend on it. I'd just go to your local home-improvement store and explain to them the conditions that you will be using the drill under.

Harbor Freight has 9.6v cordless drills for like $14.99

Try to get at least a 12 or 14volt drill if you are planing to use it for other things aswell.

In OZ there is a cheap brand called "GMC" but their drills at least are good. http://203.89.231.185/index.cfm?ppag...50883F8110B629

Yeah, good point, and there's probably no need to with a 18 volt drill unless you plan on doing heavy amounts of construction in the future

. So a 12 or 14 volt is an appropriate one for what you're probably going to do with it. Oh and be sure that it also is variable speed, that way you won't just have a really high speed and risk tearing through something important in the computer...

the ammount ov Volts of tha battery doesnt mean everything. its a Volt / Ampere thing. makita has a nice series of 12V/ 13A battery's for their drill's

but if you want to buy a cordless drilling device

i can suggest these brands: bosh, deWalt, Makita these produce some really good ones these days and metabo.

if you buy one, get one with an extra battery, because my dat has some old bosh, metabo drills here. they work fine, only a new battery costs more that a new drill.
