Warrior brand, at Harbor Freight. Price includes battery and charger. So cheap that I almost didn't buy it, but I was soon back to buy another. Only 12-volt Li-Ion so not heavy duty, but I find no fault.

Not possibly.

I have a friend who buys the $20 drills, saws, etc., for an infrequent job.
He said it's like renting. If it breaks after he's done, he doesn't have to store it.

Of course he doesn't need them for his daily "work".

This isn't 1955. CEOs found cheap labor and few rules in China. Now they are richer than God.

"CEO compensation has grown 940% since 1978. Typical worker compensation has risen only 12% during that time"

The average CEO pay of the top 350 firms works out to over $8,200 an hour, yet they fight against giving workers $15/hr.

My 18v Warrior from HF has been the best drill I've owned for general work around the home.

Low voltage equals low power. I prefer to get a more powerful tool that can do everything but there are likely projects where this drill would be fine.

Does it include the charger? The HF site states: 'The kit includes 12 volt battery that is interchangeable with other 12 Volt WARRIOR™ tools.'

Now I see it does include the charger.

Is someone a little angry or jealous? What do you think the difference is between their success and you?

Here we go to the attic . . .

Workers are where a company’s profits are made. Without workers, a company is just an idea. This applies to any enterprise, service or product oriented. Workers’ getting fair share of the profits they produce would raise everyone’s boat. Well, maybe except the CEO’s - his yacht may be a bit smaller.

All I can say is, if you’ve been working since 1978 and are now only making $15 an hour, maybe you should look in the mirror.

Angry? I guess you could say that. Their "success" is artificial. Did they "work hard" for that $17 million? It's an "I'll rub your back; you rub mine" situation.
