So now I want to leave that prehistoric cave and get more modern equipment. This new drill/screwdriver has to have some balls. Want it small and lightweight as possible. I'll need a 2nd battery.
Is this possible for around $125? Which one should I get for light/medium duty?
Those combo sets are great. I have the Dewalt 20v set that I bought back in 2011 which included a third battery.

Then last year I added on a three speed impact gun. It's great because at the lowest speed you can insert screws slowly for electrical jobs.

What you will probably find out is that you will want to upgrade a lot of your tools to use the new battery. I would do your homework as to what you want to upgrade short and long term. Sawzalls, skill saws higher level hammer drills etc. Leaf blowers, jigsaws ets. Once you get hooked like me, you might become a cordless tool junky.
IMO you don't want different brands that use different batteries so you'll have more issues when batteries go bad. With my Dewalt I have batteries as old as 2011 and they are all still going strong. None of these batteries is dead yet. I'm not using them everyday, but I use the batteries weekly.
Good luck with your search.
