I'd like to know why the Festool 5.2 are only $45 each.

Been there done that...Some things I learned.Most all take the same cells inside.So what I do is search E-bay for cheap battery's of any make.Then I take them apart for the cells and put them in my battery case.You can reprieve old battery's by hooking a high amp battery charger to you old dead battery's.I only do this for a few sec. Be very careful. I was told they can come apart doing this.It has never happen to me and I've done a lot of them.They will then again take a charge.The newest battery's have electronics inside. I have not messed with them.

I purchased a Makita 18 V Li Ion set a little while ago and would never purchase another. The batteries just die with no warning. You place them in the charger and lights start flashing and they will never charge again. This was after just owning the set for a little over a year.
If they do that put them on a car charger for a short time. That will fix that problem.
Has anyone done this? I lost one of my Milwaukee batts this summer, and I was going to retool with Makita, as they seemed to be the popular choice at work. My boss gave me his old Milwaukee tools, with a bunch of dead batteries, so I bought a couple of new ones and now seem to be committed to Milwaukee tools. The more people I talk to, the more support I get for Milwaukee, although I think Makita would be fine, too. I now have a bunch of batteries that won't take a charge, and I was thinking of rebuilding them.
