swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Wink,
If you drop a drill while on a roof and it hits the ground but your wife isn't there, does it make a sound?
No employees so this is strictly for me and though yes I've dropped one before it didn't take it out of commission and I've taken steps to keep them on me and tethered especially while on roof or ladder...
For now, just wanting two replacements knowing at some point the two I have are going to cash in their chips, they've earned it in terms of time...
I do of course have extra batteries and chargers so I'm a bit biased to sticking with Dewalt based on that equipment, but I'd like to get something smaller sized as replacements.
Landscaping years ago I'd agree with Kurt, any guy in the shop over a certain level had to buy their own gear, some still didn't take care of it, but it was on them...
Makita, Bosch, anyone else?

I have the Dewalt 4 piece with the sawsall, skilsaw, and flashlight. It hasn't given me any reasons to shop brands. Considering I should have 3 good pieces to the set if one breaks I will just replace the broken one. I like the battery interchangability.

Get a hold Trent Masterson and find out what drill he has. It was a brute. Makita i believe. Seen him do a demo with it. He said it was abt five hundred for the package deal. Love to have one. Best drill i ever seen used on the trap line. It turned like a bt45 auger. Gear driven. With super batteries. I was impressed. If you find out what it was let me no. Think he said it just came out last year.

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.
