This one is apparently being dropped by Lowes and HD. I am not sure if it is being discontinued or maybe updated by Bosch, but it looks like it should be good for my needs. It is marked down at Lowes to $89 and comes with two batteries and a charger. I like that is a 3/8", which I think is what my other one is. It is very lightweight, 2.14lbs, which is a BIG plus.
They supposedly have them in stock at my local Lowes. HD shows them as discontinued, so no stock.
Amazon has them for $99, but I reported the lower price at Lowes, so we will see if they drop their price.
My corded drill is a heavy old Ryobi, before they were that bright green.
"I need a screwdriver, not a cordless drill with a screwdriver bit, as the drills are often too bulky to get into the areas that I need to put a screw. "
How quickly you forget. Or change your mind. Or both.
I didn’t realized they now had such small and lightweight drill/drivers. After thinking more about it, I realized it would be a pain to have to get out the corded drill AND a cordless screwdriver, for a lot of jobs. I am also worried that the screwdriver alone might not be powerful enough to do even light drilling, so maybe I was just wrong about what would be best.
