Never had a cordless drill and was in Home Depot one morning and they had an 18v Hitachi drill on special. Two batteries, drill, charger and case for $99. Bought it, love it and used it to do more screwing than hole making. But one battery died. Go to Home Depot for a replacement. Not a chance. They don't carry them anymore. Tried Hitachi themselves and they could not direct me to any merchant nearby who sells them. Finally found one through a tool supplier and they want $80. I only paid $99 for the kit and I guess like computer printers its cheaper to buy a whole new drill than buy the battery. More stuff going into the landfill. Shame.
