all the collet sizes are not readily available if you need a different

I have a real Dremel and a McCulloch both corded. If you are not using
them a lot the battery won't last long.


I find other than my drill... Cordless is a toy...

But you only use hand tools, remember??!!

I love all of my cordless tools. My cordless light (flashlight!) works
just great, as does my cordless sawz-all, car vac, and small skill saw.
Granted, they aren't for all day work, but if I need to cut a piece of
2x4 for something, I'll grab the cordless saw in a second.

Cite?

Scotty never said he used only hand tools.

Have you ever given any thought to laying off your continuous immature crap?

I just don't think he can... Folks like he and don drool so much at the
thought of posting some simple insult, they really can't see the rest of
the conversation... I suspect harry and the rest of them really don't
read much of others posts for content, only keywords... at the same time
they probably read their own over and over, thinking to themselves just
how clever they are

I won't speak for "the rest of them," whomever they are, but you are
right...I don't read most of what is posted in this newsgroup.

Unless a bit of what they post is requoted, I don't see posts from:

Slammer
Herring
FlaJim and his various aliases
Earl
and about a half dozen others.

You and a couple of the other freepers here that I do read provide all
the unintentional humor I can stand from usenet.

I have a couple of older, Ni-Cad powered electric drills that are ok for
light jobs but the batteries are old enough and used enough that they
don't hold a full charge for long when they are not being used. New
batteries are pricey. At some point, I might pop for a new 3/8"
lithium-ion battery drill. The batteries supposedly are "more better."

The Dremel I was looking at has a lithium-ion battery, and there is
another unit that is corded. I like the idea of cordless...but the
disadvantages are real.

On the other hand, my 3/8" makita drill keeps running until I pull out
its plug!

I bought a new Makita LiON drill a while ago at Costco for $70 with
the fast charger and 2 batteries. (the black and white one) I have
been using the hell out of it and it seems like a good one.
Lots of power and very good battery life. When the LiON goes dead it
is sudden tho. Running something like drywall screws, you feel it slow
down on one and the next won't go at all.
That may be some kind of protection built in the battery pack. The
charger will get it up again in 20 minutes.

I had a Ryobi 1 set, so I bought two LiON batteries plus charger for it.
Much longer lasting that the NiCad batteries, although you can revive
the NiCad's a time or two.

It's just the way LION works. Our E-bikes do the same thing.

Are you saying that if you use the tool for a job that takes a while,
the battery won't last long, or are you saying that if you don't use the
tool frequently, the battery won't last long?


Both to some extent but sitting idle, either on the charger or off, is

tough on batteries (particularly Ni-Cads). That is why cordless drills

get such a bad rep from homeowners and contractors seem to be fine

with them.
Yes, I buy all corded tools for just that reason...infrequent use.
Our handyman is always going from one battery to another.. using my electricity to charge the dead one. I may have to start charging him. ;-)

That can sure get expensive. Make sure you give your handyman change
for a dollar.
