>Ken, Asking which is the best drill for you is sort of asking like which is the best lathe - they all have pros and cons. I have used a Milwaukee, but I haven't used a Sioux. I can say a few nice things about Milwaukee drills, but I would be somewhat biased.

Milwaukee sells some good products and they stand by their equipment. I don't know about Sioux.

Which has the greatest range of RPM? Which has more amps of draw (roughly equal to more hp). Which fits your budget? Is the expense a determining factor or is the quality?

My $0.02.

>If my information is correct, they both come off the same assembly line. One of them does the branding for the other. Sioux seems to like theirs a little more ($$$$).

Just like I work for the company the makes CharBroil Grills, but we build grills with the Thermos and Kenmore names on them.

Follow the link below, and you will see 26 of them for sale, and half of the available for about $70 if you "Buy it Now". I have bought a couple this way. All good. Do not buy the clones. I have a clone, but it is my emergency drill that I used when my Milwaukee was in the shop having new bearings installed (under warranty).
