Get a lightweight drill though, trust me

My nice lightweight 15-year old cordless drill won't hold a charge anymore, and those big testosterone-replacement drills (seriously, a 10-pound DRILL? to use all day? with one hand? Sometimes a drill is more than a drill, my friends) are too big for me to use with small hands. And nothing to prove, drill-wise. Anyone know of a good very lightweight drill with jaws that adjust for any size rod? There are lots of small lightweight tools with enough power that only accept a 1/4 inch bit, but I can't always convince my glass rods to have 1/4 inch diameter ends. I hate being outwitted by inanimate objects.
