Black & Decker LDX112C
Price: $70; Black & Decker
Test results: Sank 433 screws, drilled 29 holes, recharged in 3 hours.
Torque test (driving a lag screw): 2 stars.
My two cents: "Longest recharge time by far, only one battery, and the grip is uncomfortable for larger hands."
Tool stats: 2.2 pounds, 100 in.-lbs. of torque, 650 max rpm, 1 speed, 11 clutch settings, LED task light, one battery.
Warranty: 2 years on drill, 2 years on battery.
