    Might do this only to get a battery, I have some B&D skins that I got real cheap but all of the batteries died. Anyone got better ideas of how to get cheap batteries?

    • Seems like the best bet, at least you know it's a genuine battery and not some knockoff from eBay. Plus you can on sell the skin for cheap if not required

      Repack the existing batteries with some 18650 cells - google it, pretty easy to do and well documented. B&D charge a fortune for their batteries and a lot of the Ebay ones I'd be a bit sus on.

      • I'm usually really suspect on electrical work but I guess with a cordless tool there is minimal risk of burning down my house. I'll have a look - any general advice outside of the tutorials?

        The ALDI 4AHr batteries have ten good Samsung cells for $40, or less discounted. So enough to re-pack two small batteries.
        You just need the right screwdriver to open them.

      • I wouldn't say that. To do it safely, you really need a spot welder.
        Not a thing many people have access to, although if you go to tafe most welding classrooms have them.

      I did just that! :)

      edit - Thanks OP!

    • The 1.5Ah battery included here is about the smallest, cheapest battery you could possibly get, and not worth $59.

    FWIW I have one of these along with it's impact driver cousin - they're very ordinary. Ok for basic home use but even still I'd recommend spending a little more and getting Ozito Power X Change or even the Aldi ones instead. Very limited B&D 18v range and they're overpriced for what they are (IMHO).

    • Are the Aldi and Ozito one's decent these days? I understand they probably aren't in the same realm as Makita but then they aren't in the same price bracket as Makita and other brands.

      • Yes and no I think it depends on even each tool it self. Some function above and beyond and others are just rubbish.
        Ryobi is my goto brand for value vs warranty (6yr extended)

        • was in Bunnings last weekend, 2 staffs in power tool section were telling the customer that Ryobi is NO Goto brand if you need decent tools. LOL.
          end up to AEG tools (8 Pieces kit(non Brushless) for $799, inlucding 3x 5A batteries).

            @samedream: To be honest though I generally take with a generous pinch of salt a great deal that the Bunnings staff tell me in several departments. Ask one staff member in department x on a day and get y answer. Ask another member of staff in that department working on another day and they give a different answer again.

            Maybe it all depends on how hard the manufacturers sales reps are pushing sales each month……or maybe I am just overly guarded.

          • @samedream: horses for courses buddy, decent tools mount have been comparing it to industrial stuff used daily by trades. AEG are commercial tools and if your spending that kind of money and use it for a business I'd go Milwaukee or Makita trialed and tested but I have also heard great things about AEG so therein lies the my point, RYOBI is MY go-to not necessarily someone else's.

            • @DannyBoy: was looking for any cheap Dewalt, Bosch or Makita kit.
              Found Ryobi 18V ONE+ 2.5/5.0Ah 9 Piece Combo Kit for $699 which has everything I need. Also found out the AEG 8Pieces kit ($799) right next to Ryobi kit.

              For Extra $100, you are getting the low end of commercial tools. That is why I pick up the AEG instead of Ryobi.

              Note:
              AEG hammer Drill was disappointed compare to my previous Dewalt DCD796 after drilling 5 holes on concrete.

          You need to be using a tool pretty regularly to go past a Ryobi on quality v value. I have plenty of Ryobi tools that are used every weekend, but I don't think they would make it through daily use on a worksite. Maybe something like a drill would (mine has been going strong for over five years of a fair bit of use), but my jigsaw and sander don't feel like they would go the distance.

          The biggest value point for most DIY users is the batteries, because they are a killer if you don't always have a charged one available as your tend to be on relatively limited time. That's why I'm happy with my seven Ryobi tools and four batteries, and even though there might be a good deal on an Ozito or Workzone tool that's probably the right quality for my use, I will give it a miss in favour of Ryobi.

          In short, Ryobi is pretty good, no one thinks it's the best, but for us hacks it gets the job done.
