For under $200, these can't be beat:

It's a pair: 1 impact driver and 1 drill, case included. They use the same type of battery and are light as hell.

You think 10.8v isn't enough? Then you haven't used an impact driver. Get this, get this, get this!

Li-Ion FTW. My dad bought himself an (I think) 18V Makita cordless drill / impact gun and the thing is awesome. Charges in 10 minutes and lasts longer than my bulky 19.2V Ni-Cd Craftsman C3 stuff.

One thing that really helps with driving screws into really stubborn woods is to take a bit of hand soap (the old fashioned bar type) and take your thumb and stick some in the pre drilled hole and a little on the screw itself.

That really helps those things drive A LOT smoother.

This isn't any BS folks I'd not put it on the hole but take the screw and score the soap with the screw. The screw will have some soap on the tip and a few more threads and it works like a charm. Got this from my pops a professional cabinent maker/IT professional.

Or buy pre-waxed screws.
