Title: They're not what they used to be
Product review: The newer production 12-volt drill drivers aren't worth your money. do some more research (as I am in the process of) and get something else!My first Dewalt 12-volt drill driver (from 1993- or 94) was great, versitile, heavy-duty, and the batteries lasted longer than their spec'd work time. It finally started wearing down when it got to 10 years old and I bought two new batteries for it--they didn't perform well, one would work great for 10 minutes and die while the other would work at about 60% power and die 12 hours later.I finally got a whole new Dewalt 12-volt system last fall and both batteries are terrible. Each lasts for about 20 minutes tops worktime (1 and 1/2 hours on the job, medium duty woodwork or drywall hanging). I'm really disappointed in this product and will steer away from Dewalt products in the future.
