I got a few Home Depot gift cards for my birthday, so today I purchased a new De Walt 12V Lithium drill/driver. It is very small, is very balanced, the tip has a built in flashlight, and has lots of torque. Not bad for $99, which includes two batteries and a charger. :banana:

I've had that same set for a couple years. I really like it as it's got good power for a 12 volt. And it's small enough to get in tight places and light enough to not tire you out. I'd say you did good!

Oh, and happy birthday. :clap:

Great pneumatic tool to have, especially for nailing in tight spaces. My 85 year old stepfather has been using one to nail cedar shingles on the sides of his house. He loves using it. Much easier and less tiring than swinging a hammer or using a larger pneumatic stapler.

I am hammering 16d galvanized nails with ease. Could not do it due to space restrictions ... no way to get a hammer in there.

Really useful for joist hangers when working with those short Tico nails. Unless you are in a production situation with a dedicated nailer, this is a good call.

I see now you can get that gun for 2 1/2 inch nails, I'm trying to find out if that is exceptable for earthquake straps.
