Once outside, I'm more of a putterer than a gardener.
Cordless for the weekend DIY''er I think a good combination for the weekend putterer is to get a light drill like the Hitachi (or the Makita I mentioned if you can find it) for routine stuff, and apply any money saved toward a good corded drill for meatier jobs.
Both weekend putterers and gardening pros are sure to find "Martha's Spring Gardening" to be the ultimate resource for growing and creating a garden beyond their imagination.
