Buy a tool that you use the most and get batteries and charger but you will like 20 v tools once you use them The adapter is hard to unhook from tools but does work ok for me. Posted 20:48 (#6554972 - in reply to #6554949) Subject: RE: Dewalt 20v to 18v adapterĪdapter works pretty good. Once you start using 20v DeWalt brushless tool or Milwaukee Fuel tools you will wonder why you stuck with the 18v stuff so long. I have one works it OK, adaptor seems really hard to remove from the tool, but that is just my opinion, I sold all my 18v tools to a guy cheap just to get rid of them only kept a few odd tools a don't use much, jig saw, right angle drill and circular saw. How do you guys like them? Edited by AGB1640 20:41 Anyone run the 20v to 18v adapter? My 18v tools are in good shape, so I don't need to upgrade to 20v tools yet.

The other two are showing signs of age with their full-charge run time declining slightly. One recently decided it was time to retire and refused to take another charge. The introduction of this battery adapter is awesome now we can start transitioning towards newer technology, bit by bit, piece by piece. You can go to hardware store, home center, or today and get an 18 volt NiCd battery, or even a brand-new 18 volt tool. That's simply incredible, considering the modern system of 20V MAX tools has been out for 4-5 years. Was it an "engineered obsolescence" sales scheme? Although many people bought new cordless tool sets, lots left to shop elsewhere, swearing off the brand as they went out the door.ĭeWalt on the other hand, has supported tools that last for a seriously long time. People would end up purchasing new tools, rather than ordering older batteries from the factory. It was odd, even though each generation was a same voltage, NiCd battery, there would be a slight change to a a bump or ridge on its case, preventing interchange between versions. It was common that I'd bear the brunt of a shopper's frustration when they learned that each year's version of the store-brand tools had an battery configuration incompatible with the prior model. Years ago, I worked a second job, at a department store selling their popular exclusive brand of tools. They've outlasted and out performed any other brand of cordless tools I've owned by several years, leaving me a bit of a fan-boy. I've had my own set for about 8 years, and all the tools are still going strong. They're certainly the most common brand on the construction sites I've visited. It's been one of the most popular lines of professional-quality cordless tools, for a very long time. I believe DeWalt's 18 volt line of cordless tools has been in the market for about 20 years. I've run it through its paces for a month on a variety of my tools. When DeWalt gave me an early-bird chance to try out their new battery adapter and bring modern battery technology to my older tools, I couldn't wait to put it in action. Regular readers of this blog know that I've been personally wielding DeWalt 18 volt cordless tools on my projects for years.
