Milwaukee Power!

I finally bite the bullet and upgraded! Today I bought a 2 drill Milwaukee combo set. I'm stoked about it! I have needed a new drill for so long... the old mans Milwaukee just wasn't cutting it anymore, and I wanted and needed one of my own.

I wasn't sure what I was going to end up getting until I got there. I was a toss up between a Milwaukee set and a Mikita. A lot of the guys at work sport Mikitas and they all love them, but I have heard that they have their problems that seem to keep popping up. However my Dad stands behind everything Milwaukee and he has always used them. That being said I took his word, as it is a pretty solid one to listen to, and went with Milwaukee as well... (Like father like son...)

I'm all for the impact drills, even when they're completely un-necessary. They're so dang lite and they get the job done. Sweet drills Man.
