Craftsman is now 19.2 volts in their drills. I work for them but still wouldn't buy one... ----- Original Message ----- From: Gil Laster To: Post to Blind Handyman Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2008 7:16 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Re: cordless tools
I have an 18-volt Craftsman drill, that was on sale for $80 with 2-batteries and charger. I have yet to stall it driving 3-inch deck screws except when the battery is weak. The price was less than replacing 2 batteries for my previous Ryobi 9.6-volt drill. The Craftsman is now 3-years-old and the batteries (nickel-cadmium) do not hold much charge anymore. I am watching for another sale. It is unfortunate that some drills can be made disposable by the cost of a pair of replacement batteries. - Gil Laster Charlotte, NC [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
