Well, when I worked at Bluewater we had shop Dewault 14.4 cordless right angles and just used em constantly.. Very handy in boats...
Well, on to Winters ( now Hinckley as of tues), only one guy has the Dewault.. So I've been in the market..
My Mac guy hooked me up with a smoking deal on their new 19.2 stuff.. They had a special to begin with on em for the month.. He also had another toy that I've been wanting, but it was a tad of a luxury item.. someday I figured...
Well, I've been using these for a week now....
And I'm pretty impressed.... The drill is definitely getting some use and performing nicely..
But the right angle grinder is just sickeningly fun to use!!
The light was just kinda thrown in (I actually like the 3 Snappy lights I have better)
$379 3 tools, 2 batteries, charger and a free set of $125 drill bits.. future batteries are gonna run me about $60...
Now lets see if I can get Confedneck revved up...
I'm VERY disappointed in my Snappy 18v cordless stuff in some ways... I've been running their impact/drill/lights for about 5 yrs now, when the 18 volt stuff came out..
That gun is freaking awesome! never let me down, battered now but runs as good as new, has torn down many boat motors, etc.. A+
Their drill.. when it works, it's damn good... definitely better than a Dewault, BUT I have smoked 2... take that for what it's worth..
lights have been outstanding, all 3.. the original halogen, the fleorescent one, and the newest led.. all have been good, the original would blow a bulb here and there, the led has never failed..
Oh, and just so everyone knows, boats are a droplight kinda thing.. Good lights are a HUGE necessity..
BUT I'm exceptionally disappointed in the batteries.. owned 6, 1 works.. They actually have a good damn charge, last a long time.. They just sh*t the bed too often.. I had one 6 months old die..
oh, and INSANELY priced! I didn't mind terribly when they came out at like $80, but recently they had gone to like $110!!!!!!!! enough exclamation points? here's more!!!! Actually they've dropped em back into the $90's, but still..
disgusted and the main reason I made a switch, well, that and Snappy REFUSES to come up with any other tools...
Eventually I'll still have to get into some Dewault probably, the circular saw and sawzall are also very handy for me.. I've used both already..
But what I really want is the radio that acts as a charger, that and the right angle drill and grinder where Dewault biggest draw over the years, but I've yet to make a Dewault move...

Any rechargable battery has a limited number of charges. They will all die sooner or later. What I can't remember if it's best to store the battery fully charged or not.
