If they really are as good as you say, remarkable value.

Does the drill have as much torque as with the originals when they were
good? This is often the giveaway with replacements - they can't deliver
the same peak current.


Difficult to be sure, but I would say yes. I cannot stop the drill with
my hand, without risk of a friction burn when it runs at full speed.


On an 18v drill? I'd hope you couldn't stall that with your hand even with
the old batteries.
