Title: The batteries are JUNK
Product review: I purchased the 0622-24 in October of 2003. The drill itself is one of the best I have ever owned but the batteries are JUNK. Now this may not seem like much of a problem, but the first one is dead in 18 months of occasional use. The replacement cost is $79.95. I expect the second battery to die shortly, another $79.95. If so, that's $159.90 every 18 months for a tool that currently costs $222.00. Although I can't prove it, I suspect that Milwaukee ships batteries with the tool that don't quite measure up so they can screw us over for the replacement batteries they know we will have to buy. Again, I like the tool itself but would think twice about the cost of the batteries you will have to buy once you lock into the tool.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
