![]() People would end up purchasing new tools, rather than ordering older batteries from the factory. It was odd, even though each generation was a same voltage, NiCd battery, there would be a slight change to a a bump or ridge on its case, preventing interchange between versions. It was common that I'd bear the brunt of a shopper's frustration when they learned that each year's version of the store-brand tools had an battery configuration incompatible with the prior model. Years ago, I worked a second job, at a department store selling their popular exclusive brand of tools. They've outlasted and out performed any other brand of cordless tools I've owned by several years, leaving me a bit of a fan-boy. I've had my own set for about 8 years, and all the tools are still going strong. They're certainly the most common brand on the construction sites I've visited. ![]() It's been one of the most popular lines of professional-quality cordless tools, for a very long time. I believe DeWalt's 18 volt line of cordless tools has been in the market for about 20 years. I've run it through its paces for a month on a variety of my tools. When DeWalt gave me an early-bird chance to try out their new battery adapter and bring modern battery technology to my older tools, I couldn't wait to put it in action. I was given a bunch of battery less tools so this is great for me.Regular readers of this blog know that I've been personally wielding DeWalt 18 volt cordless tools on my projects for years. Glad I bought genuine dewalt to protect my investment. When I take the battery off they pop loose easy. Only if you leave the 20vt battery on it. They said it was very hard to get the adapter off the tools. They said the authentic adapter was the way to go so batteries wouldn’t go too low to recharge. They said the generic adapters let your batteries can go to far down and they won’t be able to recharge. I was given a bunch of battery less tools so this is great for me. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: Pre-Owned Sold by: high_end_101 Overall a decent product at a good price. The 20 volt batteries come out of the adapter easily but I need to switch the whole unit over to the 18 volt tools I have and it's not very convenient. I'd have given it 5 stars but the adapter is very hard to get out of the 18 volt tools. I don't want to keep buying 18 volt batteries and not be able to use them later so this was a good option. I bought this product because I have older 18 volt tools and plan on switching to the 20 volt as they stop working (some already have). ![]() ![]()
