in
that situation? If you really need cordless then it makes sense to pick
a brand where one kind of battery can run ten different tools and then
get a
bunch of batteries and a multi-battery charger. So far I've been able

resist that, so far. ;~)
Agreed. I use primarily corded tools because I never use them outside
of my shop and I never use them where I have no power to plug in. The
only exception are my cordless drills and drivers and all of them have
at least 3 batteries and one is always on the charger at all times. I
have never run into a case where I needed a battery and didn't have one
fully charged.
Most people who go cordless crazy are just people trying to look cool,
there's rarely a case where they're really needed.
Yep, me too.. (three?)
I have several cordless tools, but they rarely leave the shop.. maybe used
on the outside of the house or something..
Main reason I went cordless with the drills and stuff was to reduce the
tangle of cords on the bench... The suckers seem to tie themselves in
knots when you use 2 or 3 corded tools during a project..

most use and it usually lasts the longest. I have a De Walt 12 volt that I
use as a driver sometimes. But the charge last no where near as long as the
PC. I also use a PC 19.2 volt but not as much as the other two, its kinda
heavy. The PC 14.4 is at least 8 years old and I use it everyday and the
only thing I ever replaced were 4 batteries total. But sadly I've heard PC
is going downhill ever since Black and Decker bought them up. Like who
didn't know that would happen??
I never really paid much attention to how long the DeWalt lasts though. It
seems acceptable. Maybe you just have some warn or defective batteries
