You can buy lithium cells, the problem will more likly be in managing
the charge. They require some amount of "intelligence" when charging to
avoid overcharging, and also in use to avoid over-discharging. This
circuitry is sometimes in the battery pack itself, but you won't have it
if you just
I know you can buy the NiCad cells “loose” to make your own, but I haven’t
looked into the same for lithium cells.

I have an old Milwaukee battery drill I really liked, it was very solid
and powerful. It had a NiCad battery, one of which exploded on me while
I was using it high up on a ladder, Milwaukee sent me a new one
overnight. I later saw a recall on them so got another battery too.
They are all

My old 19v Craftsman drill still works great but the battery has finally had

But you can turn the hammer feature off. When you need it you’ll appreciate it.

Thats why I mentioned those 2 specifically, Milwaukee says 200 odd tools in
the 18v lineup, Dewalt says the same for its 20v.
Both of them offer kits that are irritating, I don't want a flashlight or a
radio or a dust buster. Milwaukee really wants me to have a hammer drill which
I don't
Interesting. Looks like the registration process is pretty important to get
the free replacements though.
An advantage I see in Rigid is that they seem to only have 18v. Multiple
(non-intercompatible) battery types are irritating.

HD’s Ridgid tools have a lifetime guarantee on the batteries. I have had a
drill and impact driver for 5 or 6 years and they still work well. I don’t know
what other tools they have that fit the batteries

I've been very happy with all the Dewalt tools I have. I REALLY like the
gyroscopic screwdriver, but then again, the airplane is held together with
screws that have to be R'd frequently.

Be sure to research what’s available as far as tools from each brand. Once you
commit you’re pretty well stuck with that one. That’s not a bad thing, mind
you, just be sure if, say, you want a battery powered impact that they have one
that you would buy.

My old 19v Craftsman drill still works great but the battery has finally had
it. Replacing the battery is nearly the price of a new tool and with that I can
go lithium (my 19v is nicad) which will be lighter and more powerful and
support more tools.
