I bought a "wen" cordless tool kit about 5 yrs. ago. The tools work great, but the batteries wont hold a charge. Even at wen site I cannot find replacements. I heard they could be repacked? thanks for any help.

I see that they have an 18 volt kit that comes with the drill,circular saw , 2 batteries,a charger and a worklight for 0.00 Is this a good deal or not. I know that Lowes carrys this brand and that it is made by Black and Decker.
Thanks Jared

It's a cheap Black and Decker cordless drill, 18v. I would like to know what voltage tolerance it has(can I use a 15v power supply, how about a 24volt power supply?) and would like to know typically how many amps these cordless drills use under full load.

the Batteries are shot basically, and I can't find a corded drill with the cordless features(torque settings etc.) so I wish to utilize these drills I have laying around, I was looking in catalogs and seems to me a good power supply I can find is a 15v with 10 amps continuous or a 24 power supply.

I hooked the drill up to my ex-tech variable voltage 3amp 0-30v power supply, my current limiter would keep tripping and can only screw a deck screw in about half way....

What would be a good power supply for this application, and I can't seem to find the watts the tool draws, so I am not sure how big of a supply I need, or the voltage.

The worthless batteries that came with my cordless drill are more expensive than the drill itself. I'm sure I'm not the first to notice this. Someone must have figured a way to use their drills without such great expense.

i want to get set of 18 volt cordless power tools, but i am too cheap to buy them all at once. Can i buy them from differnet brands and still expect the batteries to be interchangable?

Im just sick of paying 50 to 60 for dewalt makita or craftsman batteries. Is there companies that make batteries for their drills in the 18-20v range?

My cordless drill Bosch 12V comes with two batteries so I can be recharging one while you use the other. But actually both of them do not hold a charge between uses. I know that many people who have cordless drills buy new batteries and it cost them about - each. But I've also been thinking about rebuilding both batteries for each. Or I may just throw my cordless drill away and find a new cordless drill for sale. I may buy a new 14V.
What do you think?

I'm looking to buy a lithium battery powered cordless drill. I am impress with the Hitachi brand (price/value). I am using this around the house, but I want enough drill to never be limited. Still I have been told that an 18volt drill is over kill, but weight and size was I don't see much difference between the 14.4 and the 18 volt. My thought would be to get the 18 volt (regardless of excess voltage need) since the nice lithium 18volt batteries will be interchangeable with other Hitachi tools which all seem to be 18v. Is this the correct line of thinking correct? Or is it just too much drill for my needs? And what does that even mean? Any Help?

I have a black & decker and a skill. Both 9.6v. The batteries look identical except for the name of course. Is it safe to use a charger from one or the other instead of 2 differant chargers? Will it be safe to use the batteries in the opposite drill?

I have a ryobi power drill that uses a p100 battery. it is NiCad. I am tired of spending + for batteries. do they have something like an adaptor that is in the shape of a ryobi power drill but has a cord to plug in underneath or behind it?
