I like the standard 18 volt tools that I have but the nicad batteries have a lot to be desired & really kill the apeal of the tool. I can't wait to try the new V18 volt battery on my old 18 volt tools to see if there truelly is a diference. I would much rather pay the bucks for a few of the new batteries that to scap my whole cordless system & spend thousands replacing it.
