I've been using Hitachi. I mainly use the mini impact driver, but it's gone 7 years with two falls off roofs and still going strong.

Ryobi drill and impact kit from home depot when it I on ale for $99. I use mine a lot and has lasted 5 years. Bought another this spring so I have a spare. Comes with charger, 2 batteries and a case. Light durable and fair battery life. I do pole barn steel quite a bit and works great also cabinet installs. Have also built many decks work them. Some say the cheap tools are wortless and I agree but these are just inexpensive and we'll built. Can't go wrong for the price.
Wish I had more time to trap....

Pardon me for asking but why would anyone need a drill, much less a $500 one, on the trapline? Some people take there trapping very seriously. Next time your cheap tools break. Remb quality pays it doesn't cost you.

Only 12 V, but I like my "Top Gun" the best. Plenty of "Nad's", 1 hr re-charge. A real workhorse.

Pardon me for asking but why would anyone need a drill, much less a $500 one, on the trapline? 2 traps,
I'm curious too, just in terms of what the trapper was using it for.
Most folks have various hand tools in their kit while on a trap line, trowel, hammer, various snare or chain modifying tools, have never thought of a drill either other than in the shop while adding modifications to a foothold.
I think that is the basis of winks question not an attack on the trapper using one, jist curiosity, what is it being used for "on the line" versus in the shop...
If 2 traps is referring to land trapping, I rarely dig dirt holes by hand anymore. If you're running a lot of sets you can't beat a cordless drill with a 2" bulb augur. Minnesota Trapline Products sells both 2" and 3" I believe. And then there's big hole sets, where you use a gas-powered augur with 4" or bigger bits. I also carry an electric drill and power inverter that I hook to my UTV and drill dirt holes that way. Might not be for everyone, but it speeds me up.

I've been very happy with Milwaukee 12V for some time now. Have the driver and impact driver both.
