The best price deal is to buy it in a kit, best bang for the buck.
And you don't have to buy into the lithium ion hype(overpriced cr@p)

I have owned a Crapsman 18v drill, it worked OK, but batteries were harder to obtain. Though Ryobi batts would work with it.
I also own Milwaukie cordless tools, and actually prefer the V28 set, but it is more expensive.

I've had a DeWalt kit for years now. The batteries do go bad after time, but they all do. I've dropped the drill from 15 feet in the air and all it did was knock the dust out of it and seemed to work better! I used to do HVAC and my buddy had Craftsman. Always outlasted him (18v and 19.2). And like Tim said, when the batteries go dead, just buy a new drill, it's almost always worth it.

I don't know who it was, but they said something about B+D batts going into Dewalts. The old ones would, but I believe B+D changed their design, so you have to buy DeWalt now.

My dad is a master electrician and is a harcore Milwauke guy, and will defend them all day long, but they still won't touch my Yellow stuff

I've always wanted to try Bosch, but couldn't justify buying all new tools just to switch brands.

On a side note, if you ever get a cordless sawzall, you will wonder how you ever lived without one!
