Our recommendation

Any of these micro-drivers would likely be a welcome addition to any shop. But for us, three models drove to the head of the class to share our Top Tool award: Bosch PS20-2A, Makita DF030DW, and Milwaukee 2401-22. The Makita displayed the best power, and the Milwaukee demonstrated the longest run time per battery charge. The Bosch was second-best in power and third-best in run time. All are well balanced, comfortable to grip, and feature easy-to-use clutches and hex chucks. We suggest you choose the one that feels best in your hand.

Learn the results of our testing of the Bosch PS20-2A and PS30-2A, Craftsman 11812, Hitachi DB10DL, Makita DF030DW and DF330DW, Milwaukee 2401-22 and 2410-22, Ridgid R92008, and Ryobi HJP002K in the July 2010 issue of WOOD magazine, or download the review.

In searching for a new drill, I have seen a lot of reports of chuck wobble in major manufacturers of drills from Dewalt, Makita & Milwaukee. Is this a significnat problem duw to most of these products being assembled in China? I s there a better optoion to consider for a new drill?
