Russ asked:


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?

My husband has a Ryobi drill and it’s cordless. He mentioned that the batteries he has for it don’t hold a charge anymore, and he’d actually just like a corded drill. Does Ryobi make something like the battery that you’d plug in the same spot, but would provide you with corded power? I couldn’t find anything on the web, then again I don’t know what it’s called Any ideas?

I got a cordless DuraBuilt power tool set at a garage sale for $25.00
it has a drill, circular saw, sander, flashlight, jig saw, a battery charger and 2 batteries.
The guy is a friend of my parents….says he just can’t fuss with them anymore.

I’ve used a multi-meter to determine that the one battery is fully charged
the other battery is completely drained
I can plug the charger in and get a current
but it will not charge the second battery.

When I hook the full battery up, it works on the drill and the flashlight somewhat well but nothing else.

To me, it seems like the leads aren’t conducting very well
but I’m no expert on any of this.

Is there something else I can try to get these things working?
If you think it’s the leads, can I clean them somehow?

if I need to add more details, please let me know
and feel free to e-mail me….I’d really appreciate any help
