Low power for the replacement 3.6v I ordered

The new Versapak battery I recieved was weaker than the origional five year old battery I still had. One of the two origional batteries quit working and I ordered a new one. The new one delivered only about half the torque to my screw driver and did not last long even after overnight charge. Perhaps I could have just recieved a defective one. I like the B&D cordless driver and will try again to order another one.

Update (5/20/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Good for around the house jobs
I’ve got a number of versapack tools–drill, flashlight, Wizard, and multipurpose saw. I’ve found them useful for little short jobs around the house–light and easy to use. The problem is that the batteries run dead almost immediately, so I’ve ended up having to have a lot of spares charged for those occasiona when I need a tool for more than a few minutes. It’s still cheaper than buying a higher end cordless, and since the tools are so light, for small jobs they are a lot nicer to use.

Versatile but weak
I’ve got a number of the Versapack tools including the drill, screwdriver, and mini-circular saw. For small jobs like putting some screws in or cutting thin pieces of wood, they’re fine. Anything that will take more than a few minutes of use will require more batteries because they die so quickly. This line would have been a lot nicer if the batteries were more powerful. Also, it would be nice if the chargers told you when the batteries were fully charged.
