It's ALWAYS best to get a new tool if you can, simply because the
technology advances and parts wear out. I can't remember the last
time I ever replaced batteries, when they go, the tool goes and I
replace with an upgraded model.

The makes logical sense unless you have multiple tools that run off of the
same batteries.

If they're still making the series, just go get a new drill out of the
set then.
