Mark, I considered that route but I don=E2=80=99t have as much need for the t=
ools as I did when I volunteered weekly at Habitat. I know that is blasphemy=
, but I=E2=80=99m now 71 @ mostly need the tools around the place so a tool u=
pgrade isn=E2=80=99t worth it.=20
Thanks for the suggestion though!
Peace,
Pat

Howdy,
I don't know how big a deal this really is, but I've heard that the tools de=

Li-Ion batteries catching fire / whatever if they're abused.
Because of that, when my 18v NiCad Milwaukee stuff needed some love about 4 m=
onths back I bit the bullet and upgraded to the new Li-Ion tool hotness. It=
wasn't the cheapest thing I've ever done, but I'm super happy about the imp=
rovements in cordless tools in past the 8 to 15 years. Much lighter weight,=
more power, and more runtime. Hard to go wrong with any of that. :-)
