What do people do with their old stuff? The last combo kit I bought was the neon green Ryobis when the lithium batteries had just come out. Great tools, but after 4 or 5 years the batteries wouldn't hold a charge more than a few minutes of work. A couple of new batteries were more than buying the new combo set that I bought. Does that make since? Anyway, I've got a perfectly good drill, skillsaw and sawzall with no batteries. Kinda seems wasteful to toss them in the trash.
Can't speak much of them we used dewalt when I was installing conveyors but we did have to buy a Milwaukee band saw while working at the Milwaukee wear house on hackscross in olive branch and broke 3 of them b4 we got done with the job. As for our dewalts them batteries lasted forever as did the tools. ( impact, sawzall, drill, band saw, hammer drill )
Band saw and hammerdrill were not battery operated.
