The local Blowes has a pile of clearance items, lot's of different tool
chargers, but none I can use. Also are 2 12 volt NiCad battery packs
with the Skill name on them for $10. Sorry no model #. In general what
are your experiences with cordless Skill tool batteries?

I'm considering getting them to open up and put the batteries in a
different tool, just using the skill batteries and tossing the housing.
I'm guessing Skill doesn't have very good batteries, just checking
here for backup.

Dunno about Skill; perhaps you mean Skil?

Skil are owned by Bosch. See if any of the Batteries can work with a Bosch
product. Also Dremel are owned by Bosch. maybe some dremel products can
use a Skil battery.

I buy batteries like that (NiCads) and rebuild the ones I have for my tools.

There are quality batteries from companies such Panasonic, Sanyo,
Energiser, Duracell. There is alot of cheap chinese crap out there. Id
say dont buy its a waste. You are getting Crap.

It's hard to get battery cases to open up. You have to be really
sensitive to their feelings so they feel they can trust you.

I've have some issues with those cases. Maybe it just won't work out.
