Screwdriver drill questions?

I have both a Black and Decker Power Driver electric hand held and a Dewalt 18v cordless and they're both great for their own purposes. The electric hand held I've had for about 12 yrs, and it's great for small and light work, ( it has the power to drive a sheetrock screw into a 2x4 but it would have to be recharged after 3 or 4 attempts) especially those 4 inch butterfly anchors. You can do light drilling but your bits would have to have a 1/4 inch hex base.The 18v cordless is relatively new and prior to that I only had corded drills - I preferred the torque they supplied. I'm converted now after using the Dewalt - and it takes bits up to 1/2 inch, and the kit came with two batteries and a charger. I'm sorry to say I paid close to two hundred for the kit and it is now on sale at Lowe's for $119. I have drilled concrete with it just to see how it would do - but I prefer a hammer drill for jobs of that magnitude.
