I'm looking for one around 14-18 volts. There a lot of models to choose from, just curious about which model others like? I would kind of like to spend no more than $100

EMMO, MY SON!!! I take back whatever I said when I kicked you out of the house. Please bring the new drill over right away, I have a glass of Ice Tea waiting for you along with a sandwich... My Makita also had the NiMH batteries. They were a relatively new product at the time when I got the drill but lasted quite a long time. Walt

I have used and owned I think all, of the above mentioned. I am 100% partial to Milwaukee tools. You can p/u an 18volt hammer drill driver for about $130. Lots of deals all the time trhat you can get a nice combo package, i.e. sawzall ,drill, flashlight, etc. cheap. Of the other choices mentioned, I would put Dewalt in 2nd place. Other off/cheaper brands will get ya by, but treat them like a disposable lighter, they can and will break fairly easily under moderate use. In my business I'm a heavy user, and MIL stands up better than the rest IMHO.

Go with 18 volt but not less than 14.4. Dewalt is best overall in my opinion but if you don't really use it a lot Ryobi is probable good enough. My wife bought me one of those sets (the works) for Christmas and so far I am very happy.
