Drill recommendations
My Milwaukee 18v has died and I need a replacement to run the manual jacks up and down. Any and all recommendations appreciated.

I have about 5 DeWalt drills/drivers that I bought in last 15 years.
Each time batteries died, instead spending $160 for new batteries, I was spending $190 for set with drill, charger and box.
I still keep those drills as some rated for 14.4V will run from car battery just fine, while having 4 batteries right now, quite often I take 2-3 drills and instead changing the bits/drill bits I change the drills.
Right now have 18V set, but with some slot cut, the 18V battery will go into 14.4V drill.
Other option is to buy $15 drill from Harbor Freight. I had couple of those, where I was mainly using flashlight .
Put 18V HF battery into 14.4V HF drill and on heavier driving the handle on the drill broke off.
Still good motor and battery.
You can buy replacement batteries on line for a lot less. My last 24 Volt battery was only $45.00.
