I build boats which means I drive a lot of expensive silicon-bronze screws (pretty weak) into often very tough wood (white oak). When a bag of screw costs as much as the tool you are driving them with, you are'nt using a Black and Decker or Ryobi. You want precise trigger control and a reliable clutch. The best I have is a Porter Cable cordless. I use it to drive the screw. I use 3 other drills as well--big cheap ones for drilling the pilot hole, drilling the shank hole and cutting the countersink. They don't last--the batteries can't take constant recharges. For long, heavy boring I use an old Craftsman corded drill I got for a wedding present.
I don't know if Porter Cable is still making cordless drills, but it's a fine tool if they are.
