I think these tools are designed by politicians...they extract cash from you at an alarming rate!  :(

I have one of the first battery drills made by Souix.  It has a cord with two alligator clips for connecting it to a 12v auto battery.

I have an old craftsman 14.4v drill that the battery packs and charger died many years ago. I put some wires onto the battery connections in the handle of the drill and ran some wires to a cigarette lighter plug. Its my backup for fencing projects if the dewalt batteries are all dead. Just plug it into the socket on the 4-wheeler and drill away.  :D

 My research into replacing li-ion cells was that unless you have the right equipment and replacement cells, its not a good idea, and only marginally cost effective. I've ended up with enough batteries just buying news tools. I now have enough batteries that I can build two or three small barns without recharging. There is another 9.0 and another rapid charger not in the pic.

 Its only 89.5ah@18v. :D I had to make a choice as to what platform I was going to use a couple of years ago. I think I got lucky, as the offerings from Milwaukee have been very impressive. Its a tough decision, though, especially if you already have some tools from one brand.

Dave I couldn't agree more about deciding on a platform to go with. Once you pick one it gets really pricy to switch.
Btw how do you manage to keep track of what batteries are charged? That's a lot of batteries to keep track of.

Milwaukee batteries have a fuel gauge on them, four red lights. Just push the button and you know instantly.

Gotcha I remembered that after I posted, can you tell I'm on the Makita platform? :D

Dave Shepard

Its really handy to know the charge. I think most brands have some sort of gauge now.

I have been replacing all of my air tools with M18 stuff. They do have some great tools. If you get to the farm shows around me there is always 1 item for a great price. Last time I bought it was the M18 impact. That thing puts my pneumatic one to shame.

Reviving the thread...

Home Depot is having a Cyber sale on DeWalt.  I just purchased a 20v 1/2" (400 ft-lb) impact driver for $149 with bag, charger and 5ahr battery.  Something like 58% off list.  They also have a 3/8" driver for the same price, but a bit less power (~130 ft-lb).

Those prices are not bad, but 400 ft pounds would be a step back 20 years or more in time for me.

Dewalt just released a 60V worm-drive saw. I think that will make a nice add to the arsenal!

That is what I do with the 12-14.4 v cordless drills and circular saws after the batteries are shot.  They get wires and clips and ride around in the JD Gator.  The saw will cut a lot of fence boards using an automotive battery as a power source.
