My Ryobi cordless drill-driver's nicad batteries won't hold a charge.
I see 9.6 volt replacement batteries (generic) with shipping for
around $30. For that price I can get a new Black & Decker Model #
XD1200K drill/driver or a new Sears 12.0 volt Companion Cordless
Drill / Driver. I just use it for light household projects. Would
either of these two new ones be a better choice than replacing the
Ryobi battery? Would anyone recommend a different one in this price
range? Thanks.

It's ALWAYS best to get a new tool if you can, simply because the
technology advances and parts wear out. I can't remember the last
time I ever replaced batteries, when they go, the tool goes and I
replace with an upgraded model.
