Re: Best drill for the money?????

Mudder, I also did not want the pay the high price for batteries for my older DeWalt Cordless drill.... Went to local harbor freight store and bought a 9.6 volt battery for a discontinued drill. Ten bucks!... Using a hacksaw, carefully removed the individual 1.2 battery cells from the battery packs.... Tested each individual cell and replaced 2 defective cells in the DeWalt battery pack....charged the battery and works fine...
glued the top of the battery pack back on ( which I had removed to gain access to the individual cells)
Did this before with another cordless drill, with the same good results.
