DeWalt.
No contest. Even has a patented fluid guard built into the chuck. |

High speed steel or carbide bits? Or a wood bit? |

Cordless would have to be dewalt. If you want a corded one (say you have a thick skull and need a hammer drill) - then I'd recommend a nice bosch.

DeWalt here too, but it's the only one I've ever had so I can't say I've got a whole lot of experience with the competition.

Anything over .22 caliber spinning at about 100,000 rpm and a feed rate in excess of 1000 fps. That ought to relieve your pain and clear your calendar all at the same time.

I'm really leaning towards cordless. Its been said I have a thick skull but I think a hammer drill is overkill.(no pun intended)

Just got a GREAT dewalt cordless hammerdrill at work, with the tactical horizontal foregrip. You can select the "hammer" part as needed, and if you need to pop in any screws afterward to hold the ole grey matter in, you can select the optimal torque setting for your particular skull. FYI- do a google search on "trepaning". I suppose it's cheaper than drugs.

DeWalt, you will be let down with anything else. I also have seen many Black & Decker's that are made by DeWalt and the batteries are interchangable.

Actually, DeWalt is the industrial division of Black & Decker. For cordless and even corded drills, it's DeWalt for me. Too bad almost all are now made outside the US. |

OK, it looks like Dewalt but still no bit advice. Just rotary bits the hammer drill thing is too iffy. What if you knock yourself out before you drill thru?
Jeez, I though ARFCOM was the fountain of all knowledge. |

I like my Craftsman 19-volt model. It's cheap and came with 2 batteries. I don't use it professionally, just for small jobs around the house.

Then I would suggest a drill press if you're worried about that. |

I have an 8 year old Makita, that has been used extensively...I tried one of the new high volt units. I like them better, but I don't see the need in getting a new 14 volt pile driver.

Milwaukee!!!!! Better and less expensive than Dewalt.

Milwaukee..........use a new regular general purpose bit.
Maybe some of those coated jobs......skull is less than an inch thick and plenty soft, like poplar. |

i've got a makita 12v that'll run circles around my dad's 14.4v craftsman-i'm serious. his cost half as much, but it is newer and mine will do a better job. the best route to go with skull matter is a craftsman drill press. i use it all the time for getting my ole lady's voice out of my head-that and a good bottle of jack and chase it with budweiser......just my .02

Cordless? DeWalt 18v. I've had the same one for 7 years now and use it all the time and still have the same batteries.
However, for doing a job you are describing you might want to go with an electric drill. That would be a Bosch mac daddy Hammer Drill with a 1/2" masonry bit.

I'd suggest a Forstner bit--it makes a neater hole.
