Title: drill is good, batteries are pathetic
Review: I got this drill in a combo pack in Dec 2006 with the circular saw, reciprocating saw and light. The battery packs have pathetic life on the saws.The battery packs also barely hold their charge after a year.The drill is good. Personally I would now go for the Ryobi LiON or the Ryobi sets which can also be used with LiON batteries.Unlike many cordless drills, the contacts in the drill and saws are easy to get to. So attaching an external 18V DC power source should be easy.I might see if I can attach an external battery pack like I did with my Bosch Bulldog.
