I use mine so much I've bought extra batteries. The charger is the same from 7.2 volts up to 18. And the newer chargers work on the lithium batteries.

Around here they are running specials in which you buy a tool with battery and charger, and get a free battery. It's always handy to have two batteries, so you don't run out in the middle of a project.

If you go on tooliday.com they have a Milwaukee 18 volt kit for $139. It's reconditioned, but it's still under warranty for a year. That is also a good tool brand. One thing to think about with Dewalt. The battery fits anything that is 18 volts. So if you decide later to add a saw, an impact driver, my personal favorite of their line, or any other tool that uses 18 volts, the battery will fit any one of the tools. You can go online and find sales on "tool only" and it's a bunch cheaper. Just something to consider. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ward & Kathy Dudley To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 5:53 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Suggestions on a New Cordless Drill Hi Guys and gals, Time to replace the "El Cheapo" drill with a good one. Which would you suggest? It most likely will be purchased at Lowe's or online. The ones at Lowe's that are under concideration are Hitachi, Dewalt, Bosch and Porter-Cable. Looking at 18 Volt, variable speed, 1/2" keyless chuck. What about the battery amp hour? Any other suggestions such as brand, torque, etc. Thanks, Ward [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
