I have read that some folks pre-drill the hard-standings for their pegs prior to setting up awnings/windbreaks etc. Any recommendations for the best drill type for this?

Or ................ find a battery drill that's cheap because the battery has died (any car boot sale) and connect the two battery connectors in the handle to a length of cable with a cig lighter plug on the end. Drill original battery voltage doesn't matter because it will never be heavily loaded and you will have a battery drill whose battery never goes down. I used one for years as a tugger for lowering the corner steadies. It went with the van & is probably still in use somewhere.
On a serious note any battery drill other than one using LiPo batteries tends to die within two years as the batteries expire whether its used or not - hence the large number available for pennies at car boot sales.

are Lithium Polymer and not to my knowledge used in battery tools yet.LiPo batteries
That wasn't you on a m/c driving on the A38 near Plymouth this afternoon was it? The registration was N 978 JAW. I'm not sure if I have remembered (probably havent) the numbers bit correctly but the letters certainly read JAW.You been in my tool locker ? !!!
That is exactly what I did about 6 years ago. Nowadays I have a DeWalt 18v but that old drill I modified is still going strong.
I just used a cigar lighter plug on the end of it so it can be plugged in just about anywhere there is a vehicle
Correct .are Lithium Polymer and not to my knowledge used in battery tools yet.
Lithium Ion is what you will get today

I echo that. I dropped mine in the river, and it was in there 24 hours before it could be retrieved. I took the cover off the battery, rinsed it and the drill in fresh clean water, and left the drill and battery in the sun all day. It hasn't missed a beat since. Having said that, I would still like a Makita!A DeWalt 18 volt cordless drill is virtually bulletproof ..........

My Lego is LiPo powered £43 per battery and weights nowt
Hi Steve if you only want to drill a few pegs into the ground occasionally there is a 14.4 v work zone in Aldi for £20 it will do what you want IF you want to spend more (no need to) then over the years I have found /abused until dead ---Makita are always good value for money -Dewalt are shit and should be about 1/3 of the price they ask (well over priced for what they are)Panasonic are very good but now we have a relative new kid on the block Milwaukee been using them for a couple of years now and they are mega impressive and 3 yr g/tee -just reg online and if anything goes wrong they pick it up next day repair and bring it back within a couple of days --A few weeks ago Lidl had some lithium drills/jig saw and circular saw all £40 each and a bargain for a DIY er (worth waiting until they come back in store)-I bought one of each just to try (3 yr gtee)thinking I would kill them within a week and get my money back -well they are still going strong, and I have abused them They could do with bigger batteries but for £40 quid they have impressed me and I take a lot of impressing with battery drills/tools The jig saw is not far off my £400 Bosch one in the smooth action in use and that is high praise indeed If yo are not in a rush then wait for the lidl cheap Aldi mid price=good Makita top price = excellent Milwaukee Chances are the aldi will do what you want
