What's a good brand for corded drills?

I have an old Skil that's still running strong after 35 years. My other one is a newer DeWalt that ran $59 from Amazon. I was buying some other stuff and needed another $50 to get a $50 off rebate. So it really cost me $9. Sweet.

It is plenty strong and has a nice, clicking keyless chuck.

The Milwaukee is also good. I got one for a son-in-law a few years ago.

My cordless ones are Makita and Hitachi and all of them have been fine.

To answer your question about reviews, I think Consumer Reports has done some on drills, and most of the woodworking magazines, Popular Woodworking, BH&G Wood, and Fine Woodworking do periodic reviews of drills and often have a year-end special issue on tool reviews. Check your library for these resources.

Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.
