The dewalt was the worst followed by the ryobi. Plus how can you have a drill with one battery, invariably it will go dead in the middle of your projects. I've never had any problems with my makitas and i've beat em pretty good.Did you beat them because they didn't drill the way you wanted them to or was it because you feel like a big man to push them around? Those poor Makitas.

Kidding aside, thanks for the reply, troyz. Unfortunately, my local Ace stores sold out soon after opening. Each had less then 10 each so I wouldn't have been able to get one anyway unless I got there before the store opened on Friday. Workers said that people were lining up specifically for the drill.

After my purchase, I went online for the Ace Reward members to fill in the form to get the rebates. A month later, I get a post card in the mail saying I entered invalid codes. What? All I did was enter the quantity I purchased and I get this scard aying I used invalid codes. I tried it again same thing happen. Lost out probably $15 or more in rebates.I just got my rejection postcard from the Memorial Day. Called 1-800-477-4137 and the guy just validate all those for me without me bitching him out at all.
