The pose looks very unnatural and tense. Granted, it's much better than the previous attempt, but it doesn't look natural. What's your character's attitude? If he's a relaxed, confident character, try relaxing his left shoulder. When in a stance like that, the box torso becomes a more tapered shape, like here:
His right leg should also be either about a pixel thicker, or have the leg extend from the crotch a little more to the right (I'm not entirely great at explaining this, but what I'm saying is that the legs are at a frontal view when they should be 3/4).
The area between the shirt and the pants doesn't really need anti-aliasing, either. AA is used to blend two clusters of pixels together-but when you think about the subject represented by those clusters, they shouldn't be blended. The shirt and shorts shouldn't be blended together, as they are two separate forms.
Lastly, the arm without the drill looks very stubby. Try making the hand a little larger, and relaxing that arm in general.
