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.
