My wife gave me a Craftsman drill/driver combo for Christmas 19.2v. Not a bad kit, the driver isn't as good as the drill, its slower and hard to put pressure on. Definately get a standard chuck! Dad has the same drill in 14v, his is lighter and has similar grunt but mine lasts longer. For you I'd say get the 14v and 2 batteries, the charger will recharge in 1 hour at which point you'll probably need a break anyway.

That works well for screws and it also has an adjustable clutch so you won't over drive them. $39 and change. BillR -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of OK Don Sent: Monday, September 22, 2008 6:49 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: [MBZ] OT - cordless screw drivers I am going to be installing new kitchen cabinets soon, and am thinking about the number of screws I'll be driving. I don't think me arthritic wrists are up to job anymore, so am thinking about one of these new fangled cordless screw driver/drill thingies. My question is, how much torque, or voltage do I need in a device to drive the appropriate screws into/through hickory? I see the range (when it's mentioned) ot 100 to 500 inch/pounds.
