Today will be for making the final assembly part that
permanently attaches to the top that this particular drill
slides onto and ready to use !

Norm;

I have seen that drill before.  :o

Looking good. About 2X the original pack capacity I would guess from the size.

same capacity as yours just looks a little bigger,
still has only 12 cells.
Yours seems to go faster and more torque than my Craftsman 14.4 .

I just can't help talking about how useful this PVC 3/4 thin wall
is for my own use it enables me to put singles, doubles, triples etc.
into combinations of 10 stick them in my PVC battery holders charge
them up ....then check them individually...keep the ones that are
tested in a cordless drill and come thru with flying colors they can be
soldered end to end into 5 cell units just like the AA rechargeable Ni Cads
for the remote controlled toys are done .
