Tried some 3/8 inch corded drills but after a few minutes they got hot and started smelling funny. Now I use an old Milwaukee Hole Hawg that I borrowed from my neighbor. It can be set to 300 rpm, and is a beast. Doesn't break a sweat, tons of torque (nicknamed the wrist breaker). Downside is they are about $300 unless you pick up a used one on auction site or CL.
If I was actually buying one, I'd probably try one of the 1/2 inch Harbor Freight ones, as there is a lot of good feedback on here about them. Here is a link to one of several threads on them.
