Default Last Day! harbor freight cordless drill

Bottom center of the page lists additional batteries -- which are 1.2
amp hours. I got one of their 12 volt drills, years ago. Works fairly
well for turning small screws.

Does anyone own one of these? I'm curious how good or bad the
batteries
are? Do they list an Amp Hour rating? I don't care much if the
drill
is junk, just the batteries.

At that price I'm thinking of buying two and using the batteries to
rebuild my old Milwaukee battery packs and junk the rest?

The Milwaukee is a 12 volt "Power Plus" with 2 amp hour / 24 watt
hour
batteries. It's probably close to 15 years old and still a great
drill.


I tried the 9.6V version of the HF drill.
The drill seems ok, but the batteries are crap.
Not just weak, but REALLY weak, USELESS, CRAP.
Did I mention HORRIBLE!!!
YMMV
