We run Hitachi. Look for the new ones with the A123 batteries.

I've used most tool brands out there for metal and wood working and I can say that dewalt makes a good drill but their saws arent the greatest.

Makita hands down. I own a makita cordless drill and it works great. Charge times are short and battery life is long.

Edit: lol, i see that you spelled cordless wrong in the title.

I use Makita for work, excellent and you'll definitely want the 3Ah batteries. I have the Hammer Drill, Impact Drill, Circ. Saw and Recip. Saw. They all work quite well.

Everything else I have is either Bosch or Milwaukee. Makita outsold Milwaukee's 28V system a couple years ago when they came out. That should tell you something right there.
