[AT] OT cordless drills & batteries

[Cecil Bearden]

I got a Milwaukee 28V impact for Christmas and needed batteries for it.  
I purchased a reconditioned 28V hammerdrill with 2 batteries and charger 
and the entire package was less than the complete cost of the impact and 
2 chargers.  The 28V drill is the closest to having a corded drill I 
have found.  I use the drill for everything.  The impact is always being 
used around here.  Changing tires, taking parts off salvage stuff, etc.  
I keep a wire brush on the drill to clean battery posts and cables in a 
hurry.
