got this milwaukee set about year ago for $99 https://www.homedepot.ca/product/mil...bag/1000672700
I have a few other drills (18v & 20v) at home, but this is the one I usually end up using most of the times because it is light and compact, and enough power for 99% of the job.
It sucks working with a big drill that weight 5lb
The only times I use the 18v drill is doing a deck stairs where I need to put put of 3/8 & 1/2" lag into solid wood.

The resurgence of this thread just made me buy a 2-pack of Milwaukee M18 5.0Ah batteries, sick price right now at home depot for $160. KMS and others are having sales for $180 but HD always silently lowers their price to compete without advertising it.

Everytime I wanna use my drill it's always outta juice. Then I just end up grabbing a screwdriver and doing it by hand.

Last year I bought a Rhyobi drill and 1/4” bit driver combo (with battery and charged) and added a 1/2” impact gun and an extra battery. Can’t remember, it was cheap. All 3 products have earned their keep, and for a sometimes weekend warrior they’re totally worth the price.
Honestly, I’ve watched Mighty Car Mods use them for the last decade (well before their sponsorship) and figured it’s cheap, and clearly good enough for them. And they’re great

More often than not, KMS cannot match or beat prices. They say it's below their cost.

I wish Bosch had more selection in North America for their tools. They have cool stuff in Europe/Asia that doesn't come over.
Ryobi... my parents have a set from HD. It's heavy, unbalanced, not very ergonomic - but it was cheap so there's that I guess.

I swear by my 20V DeWalt Brushless combo.
5 years on, built dozens of projects around my house, thousands of screws and they still work like new.

I find the standard dewalt offerings feel much cheaper than they did prior to the black and decker acquisition

Whichever brand you guys end up going with, prepare to stick with that brand if you're going all cordless. It'll make life easier with having a lot of the right batteries.

The most usable drill i ended up having is the one from friggin IKEA for 27 dollars (that one has a cord so its just plug and play). https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/fixa-sc...-ion-00196101/

i hear you don't even need the big volts unless you're making a deck drilling on 4 inches of wood.

NiCd batteries have terrible self-discharge (10% a month)
The lithiums (like in your IKEA drill, and new tools) have very little self-discharge (like .5% a month)

IMO the 12V kits are hugely underpowered even for basic drilling/driving

Agreed.
However I keep a Milwaukee M12 1/4" screwdriver in the house and it's more than adequate for general household stuff, ie: Putting in drywall anchors, assembling IKEA furniture, taking appliances/electronics apart to be fixed (the 20V impact would be total overkill)
