Black & Decker 18V Cordless Drill with 2 Batteries (refurbished GCO18SB) $33 + Free Shipping

Quote from flipknoc : So what are the cons with Ni-Cads? I recently got this [ebay.com] and it would be nice to be able to swap batteries.

NiCads are still superior to lithium Ion for those that actually use their drills day after day. Lithium Ion is considered a better option for the casual "home user" since the battery will hold a charge for a long time and you're not required to keep it on a charger 24/7. NiCad's will go bad if not charged and drained often. Most recommend keeping the battery on the charger whenever you're not using them. As an example I picked up a B&D set that came with 4 batteries. I only pulled 2 of the batteries out of the set to charge and swap. 2 years later the 2 I never used at all would not hold a charge, so they were completely dead. This is my home drill and I sometimes go 4 or more months without using it so the battery that's not on the charger can run fully dead. This does not happen with Lithium Ion. I have read that Lithium Ion on the other hand does not like being drained completely dead and recharged day after day after day, so as I said above, NiCad for contractors or work if it gets used everyday, Lithium Ion for casual home use.

Quote from ScreaminChicken : $7 cheaper than last time...just missing the bag. GREAT DEAL!!!! But now I have too many batteries At least I'm well prepared if any die

Keep them on a good recharging rotation or you'll find yourself with a bunch of dead batteries. (see above)

Quote from girlbytes : Is this a good drill? I'm looking for one with enuff power & juice to wax the car with using a buffer attachment! Or do I need one with a chord for that? Sorry for the dumb question... I'm just a girl

This is an ok/good drill, but what you want is a buffer. They sell 10" or 7" buffers for $20 at car parts stores (watch for sales) or look at wallyworld. Buffing your entire car with a cordless drill would be almost as hard as doing it by hand. BTW, my hat is off to you for being a GIRL that even wants to wax your car yourself!!!
