I never set my drill down on the battery, I always

lay it on the side. Just a little precaution I take. My grandkids soon learn to never set it upright.......

What do you mean by sensitive to drops? Are you talking dropping from a ladder

I don't know the parameters, just that lithium batteries are less shock

Whatever you do, get the impact drill. I love Dewalt but Makita's impact

I've never really used an impact drill. Do you just like the compact size?

So do I need the regular screw drill? Or should I just save $ and get impact?

Also, is the 20V vs. 18V and issue you would be concerned with?
