15 Years ago I built my house. That meant purchasing plenty of tools. I've always looked to corded over cordless for the always available power. I do however love the convenience of cordless drills and I also went for a cordless circular saw. My drills are in good shape and my saw is in excellent shape. The batteries are NOT very good anymore. Won't last forever. Question is buy replacement batteries for them (18V) or sell them and suck it up for a new drill and saw?
Anyone know if the batteries were improved for the older 18V tools or just same tech? I don't believe you can use the newer tool 18V batteries int he older tools.
And if replacement......there has been a lot of changes in companies even though they are mostly owned by the same conglomerate. DeWalt? Makita? Rigid for the warranty? Milwaukee? I've never been a Bosh or Ryobi fan.
