The M12 Fuel has about the same power as a regular 18V drill or driver. Same with the DeWalt XR stuff, etc. A good 12V kit is just fine.

We use it around the house all the time. I was expecting garbage performance, but I was mistaken.

In terms of tight spaces this solves that problem 90% of the time:

Same with the DeWalt XR stuff, etc. A good 12V kit is just fine. | I had to get one of these to punch some holes in the frame of my Jeep, I wish I knew about them ages ago. For a whopping $20 it's well worth it for the time where the whole drill is a tight fit or won't let you get the correct angle on something. 
Now my only issue is even though I have 5 cordless drills with a total of 6 batteries, every single one of them always seems to be dead or nearly dead. Punching 3 of the holes went through 2 drills and 3 batteries. I've got a big 120V Makita concrete drill that dims the lights when you use it but that seems like a shortcut to the emergency room with the 90* adapter attached lol.

Yea that right angle adapter is what I tried to post in the pic above
They are awesome. In a pinch you can actually use drill bits which have the chuck end on them as well for stuff like drilling inside walls etc. it’s pushing it a little with the amount of torque required but it works

Have one of those as well, it definitely has bailed me out of some tight spots.

Two of the holes were through a part of the frame where the steel is doubled up so it's decently thick and this handled it no problem. We'll see if it survives the abuse of punching the rest of the holes but if it dies I'll buy another. I wouldn't fault it for failing when being used way beyond what it's designed for.

I'm using Ryobi, but I'm sure all the new lithium batteries are going to be more or less the same and more efficient.
Mind you, I pretty much just use my drill in the garage for removing bolts on my car and lugs (after i loosen them with a breaker bar), and I'm only pressing on the trigger for a couple seconds at a time, I really don't use that much power. Even on low charge, it'll hold up to do the job.
On the other hand, last month, I had to use my yard trimmer, something that requires constant power, and the battery that I keep year round in the garage went dead in about 5 minutes, lol. My 2 backup batteries that I leave in a storage bag also lost charge and lasted maybe 5 mins each. So a learning experience for myself, charge up all my batteries if I'm planning to do yard trimming, or any other task that requires the power to be run continuously.

Oh, I’m not the only one to have issues with the Ryobi trimmer, then. I took it to the cemetery to clean up around the headstone/markers. I go to about a dozen plots to pay my respects. I’d be lucky to get 4, maybe 5 done before having to change out batteries. I got me a Milwaukee trimmer and holy Hannah, did all 13 with indicator down to 3 out of four bars. I was so happy, I wanted to go over to mama aquilini’s gravesite and trim their mini garden at Mountainview. To be fair, the batteries I had for the Ryobi were older technology.
BTW, the Milwaukee trimmer was on super clearance at the beginning of the year at Home Depot. It’s the Lexington Steele of trimmers. The newer model comes in two parts where the end is interchangeable. I can barely get the trimmer into the car, but good thing is, the head is far enough away that I don’t get crap all over my shoes and pant legs.

Get the larger batteries for the Ryobi then you wont have that problem.
I want to get this next but they don't sell it in Canada. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-15...verter%7D%3Aqu

^ order it off the US site and get it shipped to the border the next time you're coming to the mainland, or Amazon.com has it for $10 more and will ship to Canada https://www.amazon.com/150-Watt-Inve...gateway&sr=8-1
