So after doing more research. Looks like I just need a simple drill driver. Can someone recommend a good one please. Not going to be used for advanced stuff. Simple stuff around the house.
Rigid. Half of our field techs use Rigid. They are relatively cheap, last quite a while and have an easy warranty. Great for home use as well as light/medium use work tools.
OTOH, do not discount the 12v Milwaukee setup. Tons of M12 tools and can be found relatively cheap. This is the tool I use in the field for everything from driving screws, drilling small and pilot holes (wood and stainless steel). I seriously do not use my impacts at all. A lot of tech's use their impact for everything I use my 12v hex screwdriver for. The battery doesn't last as long (or no where close as a 18v) but it is more than sufficient for most jobs. Link for example.

Also, if you can wait a few months. Tools always go on sale for Black Friday and you can buy the combo kits for damned cheap. That's how I've bought most of my work power tools.
Where to buy.
Rigid: Home Depot only.
Milwaukee: cpooutlets.com, toolnut.com
