Review title: Great tool, horrible batteries
Product review: This is mechanically about the best battery operated screwdriver around, although very expensive. Too bad that the batteries and charger are garbage.In my experience with about 8 - 10 batteries for three of these screwdrivers, if you happen not to use a particular battery for a few weeks, it will self discharge and the charger will refuse to charge it. Goodbye another $25. I've had at least $100 worth of relatively new batteries fail this way in less than a year.This problem basically won't let you buy extra batteries to keep charged. If you do, they will just die. So, you're pretty much guaranteed to run out of usable batteries in the middle of a task.I suggest that you buy something better.Next time, I'll get a screwdriver with a Lithium battery, or use a regular screwdriver.(By the way, many people who have tried to buy NiMH replacement batteries for this unit to avoid this problem have been cheated with re-labeled or misrepresented NiCad batteries.)
