We use and recommend the cordless Milwaukee M18 drill (shown in picture), especially one from the M18 FUEL line with brushless motors - likely the last drill you'll ever buy. With two speed settings, the slow speed is perfect for milling grain with the trigger fully depressed. The high speed is perfect for wort aeration.
For greater accuracy when drilling, we recommend that a drill press be used instead of a hand drill whenever possible. This is especially true when using hole saws or step drill bits.
