   That's an area I haven't and maybe should look into further. I still use a   
   DeWalt NiCad drill converted to NiMH, otherwise corded or gas. Do you have a   
   suggestion of a cheaper-than-Milwaukee brand that won't soon become   
   obsolete? I loved Milwaukee when the company was paying, they outlasted 10   
   of anyone else's for building steel machinery, but have only their corded   
   1/2" drill.   
      
   "Converted" means a different charger, the original NiCad one peaked at   
   higher voltage than is recommended for NiMH and wasn't on the list approved   
   for both.
