A mid range battery drill driver sounds like it would be better
suited.
More than enough power for the job (even a 9V model will sink 2" 10
guage screws straight into softwood without a pilot hole). A 12V or
14.4V one will cope with most other jobs unless you want to turn
things
like hole saws etc. (don't get too carried away with the numbers
though,
a good quality 12V drill will perform as well or better than a nasty
18V
one).


Thanks, John. I'm starting to think of the possible jobs I may need a
drill/driver for sometime in the future...when I get round to it.

For the sake of argument, lets say I want to drill through a
breezeblock internal wall ( to spur off an electrical socket in an
adjacent room).
Would this job wreck a 12V cordless drill? I reckon I would need a
corded drill for such a job. Or, better still, get an electrician in!
