I figure rather than lumping tool talk in with the General Home Reno thread, why not have a separate tool thread. Get your tool jokes in now.

I'm looking to replace my 15+ year old Dewalt drill/impact set and am lost in a sea of options, models, etc etc. I'm a general user when it comes to my tool usage, mostly doing small repair jobs, building shelves, that kind of thing. With that being said, I'll be embarking on a basement reno and as such want to ensure I have good tools. As well, I have a keen interest in doing hobbyist level woodworking once my basement reno is done.

I don't know what options to consider or what I need, don't know how big in amp hours I should go on my batteries, and am frankly feeling a bit paralyzed from picking something!

I know we have a good mixture of professional, hobbyist, and general home users like myself, so thought I'd see what people have had good experience with.
