As I see you're the type who can't handle constructive criticism, I won't waste either of our time any further, but suffice it to say I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who finds it easier to read posts with more traditional formatting.

I would appreciate it if it was something important that i was going to present to many people and my typying would refflect alot. But sir, its just a forum, for detailing enthusiast, its just a simple post. Its nothing to take into another level by pointing someones else typing. Like i said, its just a forum.
 
Milwaukee 28v is the BEST!!!! I have used Milwaukee cordless tools for years. They are heavy duty, last forever, and hands down the best cordless tools made. Once you use them you will never use another brand.
 
I have had an old DeWalt (I think DW997) 18v Hammerdrill. It may not be the latest and greatest, but, it has been a trusty friend for about 12-13 years. Never let me down.

If it ever has to be replaced, I will go DeWalt again.

Came with 2 batteries. Replaced them both about 2 years ago (so 10 years of life).
 
I have been more than happy with my PC cordless and I have it about 8 years.

But I digress.... there's nothing left to say on the subject. Good luck finding a drill if you think that will make you happier than using your existing polishing equipment! :props:
 
I'm with Charlie on this one. DIY guys use drills ... detailers use industry appropriate tools. Get you the 3" backing plate and accessories and when you show up to do the job it will look more professional.

My two cents....

Its exactly what i have done and would do BUT... Sometimes when doing headlights out there... I dont have access to plug an extension cord, kind of like on the spot headlight repairs. Ive achieved great results with my makita while doing headlights but sometimes people in apartments or places like that want their headlights repaired. Meaning, its not that easy to plug and extension cord, a cordless drill is what might come in handy.
 
Quick run down:
- Milwaulkee is no longer good as it used to be
- Makita batteries will give out for no good reason (chip won't let you charge it)
- Bosch and Hilti are very good

But. . . do you really need the very best drill for polishing headlights? What if you just got a drill that was "good enough"? DeWalt and Ridgid come to mind. I would actually highly recommend the compact 18v Li-Ion Dewalt. Not too expensive, they stand behind their product, and it will last you quite some time.
 
Personally, If I were just getting a drill for headlights, I would get a harbor freight one. Their like 20 bucks and you can buy a replacement option for another 10. If it breaks, Take it back and get another, no questions asked. Doubt it would beak doing headlights though.

What I use as my tools though are Ryobi. Love those tools and have lasted me a long time and still going strong.
