I hope those work for you. I've heard that Stainless Steel isn't as strong a material. I guess you'll find out one way or another.

I gotta ask, why red?

I was on my way to having about as many chargers as you Roy. Until I finally wised up and went with the Milwaukee M18 line of tools. One battery will fit all their tools in that line, and there are a lot of tools. I went with the Milwaukee line because of an 5/8" plug in drill that was my maternal Grandfather's, built in the late Thirty's, I'm guessing. It still works, and has a ton of power. Nothing lasts like it used to, but if these Milwaukee tools last 1/2 as long, I'll never have to buy replacements.

Let us know how you like that grease gun, Roy. My hands get tired when using my pistol grip one on my backhoe.

I made the same decision and now have a ton of red M18 tools and one battery system for all of them. So far I have been very pleased with Milwaukee. My PEX expander died after 4 years of heavy use and they replaced it no questions asked. Other than that every tool has performed well and with no issues. And Milwaukee keeps rolling out new tools that make you just have to reach into the wallet for just one more tool you just have to have.

I have the same "nut buster" Roy. Isn't anything yet it hasn't been able to break loose.

The biggest problem I have with cordless tools is that some companies keep changing the battery voltage. Then the price of a new battery for your older models are more than you originally paid for the tool, 2 batteries, charger and carrying case.

I've been accumulating lawn and garden tools from WORX. All 20 volt and same battery.

There 60 and 80 volt units available in the construction industry.

Ever since someone else liked all my Makita tools better than I did, I bought the Ryobi line of 18V tools. Nearly every tool! I have several batteries and chargers for the same line as some of them come packaged. I don't need a professional line anymore, as the Ryobi is fine for now. However, that Milwaukee Impact is AWESOME!!!! So glad I bought it and have used it four times already. Love it!

Porter Cable used to be good stuff....... Went down hill...

I started with Craftsman... They are going by the wayside......

I am liking the Ridgid line from Home Depot..... Very happy with them.
