With all the choices in cordless power tools these days, it is tough to decide on which one(s) to purchase. Some prefer a particular brand, others look for the best price, some may opt for a particular feature or feature-set, and the list goes on. Here is a simple tip that will save you both time and money, and will increase the lifespan of your tools: Buy one brand for all your cordless tools, and ensure they are all the same voltage. This allows you to freely interchange batteries between all of your cordless tools, and use one battery charger – which is particularly handy if you are prone to doing work at remote locations. The cost savings are obvious as you can purchase replacement batteries that will work on all your tools, and you also eliminate the ultimate debate when your battery dies for the last time: “Do I bother replacing the battery, or should I just go with a whole new drill?” (although sometimes this can be the excuse you are looking for!).
