I have a craftsman cordless drill with the VersaPak batteries. I think its the same system black&decker uses. Its about 4 1/2 years old now, and the drill no longer spins worth a damn with the batteries charged fully. Anybody else have this problem? I'm wondering if its the rechargable batteries that are shot or the drill itself. At $11 each for the batteries (mine takes 2), I'm thinking I might as well just buy a new corded drill.

I can't really help you other than give an opinion on what I have. I got a B&D Firestorm 18 volt a few years ago and it's been great. Lots of power and seems to last pretty well. I've used Makitas, DeWalt's, Craftsman, Milwaukee(pretty good too), and Ryobi. This is my favorite though. Nice balance, two speed with a brake(stops immediately when you let go of the trigger). And plenty of power.

I have the 18volt DeWalt rechargeable. Tons of power. Batteries last about 3 hours, but they cost about $90 to replace. This came with the 5 1/4" cordless saw. I love that thing.------------------

I?m sure that Black & Decker makes or made them for Sears as they always have someone else make tools for them. I can?t help you on the drill because mine still spins after 5+ years but I do notice that the older battries will not last as long as the newer ones I have.
