I'll have to give lithium's a gander. Maybe I can run my corded drill for a while and save my pennies.

I have thought about that, but never really took the idea seriously. Worth looking into. Know a good source of rechargeable cells other than just dissecting commercial packs? I'll scan my usual...

Lately for one job I'll buy the tool from ebay (used), then sell it again when I'm done. Winds up not costing too much and I can get something that's got actual reviews. Not to mention two more...

Harbor Freight: Friend or Foe?
