Great reasoning in your post, you have some good ideas.

Could you explain how to identify the "good powerful drills that hold a charge for a reasonable amount of time" from a given manufacturers lesser options? I don't imagine voltage alone will give me a perfect pictures, and output torque is only available on select drills. Should I look at construction, or construction materials?
