Here's my situation:

I've had the Black & Decker 2-directional Versapak driver with a gold
battery since about 2003...but the charger is missing. And chargers
cost at least $10 online, with $15 for each new gold battery and $10
for silver batteries.

Home Depot has the new 9078 pivot driver with a simple plug-in
charger (no batteries to install) for $19.99.

What should I do? Should I keep the versapak and splurge on a new
charger & replacement battery?....or should I just get the new 9078
model which would cost appx. the same amount?

Has anybody used these tools and know which one is better?

All help appreciated,

-Joel

They both have limited use but can be handy for some jobs. For $20,
I'd try the new one.




the new one will probably have Lithium-ion batteries,and will hold a charge
while in storage,for about 6 months.

while the NiMH(gold) and NiCd(silver) both self-discharge in storage.
