If I am doing serious work, of any extended duration I use corded tools, but suspect that a good 24 volt with quick chargers and two or three batteries would be able to keep up with me.On the corded drills I have burned out like three or four with the stuff I have had to do, like complely finishing my basement, and other projects on that scale.

wow   3 or 4 drills on 1 basement each...   whamo.. i hope they wernt any good....   cause  dam i build sevral houses a month and have only gone tru 3 in 4 years..   the 24 volt is sure nice but..   it weighs  4000 pounds.. if you are carrying any kind of other tools all the time you dont need the extra weight  the 18 is nice also but still heavy..   personally i love the 14.4 have 4 of them and they really hold i highly recomend the xrp as its all mealt inside is nealry non destructable..   for insaynce the milwakee 18 volr fel just 13 feet and the whole battery contact broke off..   the mikatas just dont have the force needed to drive a 3 inch screw thru a door jam..  and then the ryobi   well i have actully  seen them in use but if your not verry carefull with the first batery charge they wont ever work right.. be sure to do the whiole 12 hr charge..    id say they are an ok buy for the money......
