That's Milwaukee.  I lived in the city for many years, and even applied for 
a couple jobs at the company for internships and after graduation.

IMO, a cordless drill is far more useful than a drill press.  In fact, I 
put a nice 14.4V Dewalt on my wedding registry! o:)  (along with a new 
Gerber multitool and a plasma globe!)  Not the best for high precision 
work, or where the hole needs to be perpendicular +-1 degree, but screws 
get tiresome by hand!  A nice cordless drill will set you back about the 
same as a nice tabletop drillpress.

I haven't used many cordless tools, but the Dewalt products I have used 
have been generally of very high quality, and nicer than the other brands I 
have used.  I, too, have no affiliation with Dewalt, and am only passing 
along my experiences. ;)
