Going to be removing/replacing LOTS of panels at my new job (aircraft mech at Embraer-Nashville).
I'd rather get a good one now rather than having to replace in a few months.
A friend in the bidness advised against one with a keyless chuck, as he said it's constantly loosening and the bit falling out when he's removing or replacing screws. His is a Bosch. Anyone else had the same prob, or is that specific to his?
I read on another thread here that Ridgid has a lifetime warranty, which I like.
Which ones are the fastest, best batt. life, features, etc?
When buying anything, I generally look for the most features for the $$$. Don't have to have absolute top of the line, though. For example, when I bought my set of tools for work, I chose Mac over Snap-On, as Mac is still very good but not at the tip-top of the pricing pyramid.
What should I go with? Any strong opinions?
Again, I mostly expect to be using to remove and replace hundreds of machine screws a day (airliner panels).
