Batteries, Batt...ttt..eries, Batt...t...t..eries - why wilt you die...
power… give me more power…
I've had this cordless dewalt set for several years, and in the last year It has been stored most of the time. I have 3 18v batteries that would rotate between the tools, so I would always have a fresh battery to swap with… until recently - all 3 batteries died, don't hold a charge - and in the last week won't even charge at all … AAARRRGGGGHHH….
so now I have a collection (9) of pretty yellow tools that are just worthless….
as much as cordless is convenient for some scenarios (I used to be a low voltage contractor - so on the job site cordless WAS the way to go), other scenarios (woodworking shop where you are close to power outlets and need the constant power) might not suit these so well.
I think it's time I "downgrade" to corded circular saw…
not even sure what to do with all these cordless tools, I don't have much use for them anymore, except for the drill.
oh well… had to vent, while I'm waiting for 2 batteries to hopefully half charge each so that I can cross cut a freaking 10×2…. frustrating.
