Well for that matter I have a old 12V Porter-Cable drill but they are all 3/8 inch and I got the impression that he wanted something smaller. I don't recall seeing any 1/4 cordless drills lately. Do they still make them.
The P-C is great but I have a lot of Dewalt power tools including a 1/2 18V drill and they have all been good. I did in a fit of madness order a 18V Dewalt recipro saw that flatlined the battery in a matter of a couple of minutes. That type of tool just uses too much power for cordless IMO. Amazon took it back tho so no complaints on my part.
I have looked at the 12V Dewalt 3/8 but the P-C keeps spinning away so I don't have an excuse to buy one. Rigid is another good brand as is Milwaukee, they are expensive tho. I avoid Black & Decker and Makita both seem to be on the cheap junk side these days. Ryobi I would buy if it was something I did not expect to use much. They are cheaper but I doubt their longevity.
