[pianotech] metro vac n blo

[Porritt, David]

I've had the same frustrations with cordless drills and NiCad batteries.  I charge them and by the time I go to use them the battery has gone dead.  NiCad batteries are reputed to lose 2% of their power every day without use.  

I have had good luck with my Ryobi Lithium Ion drill.  If it goes long periods of time without use it's still charged up when I need it.  They are more expensive, but well worth it.  I'll never buy another NiCad tool for high torque use.

It certainly is. <G> In my case, that would just mean I'd find the 
battery dead every time I needed it. I'm glad cordless tools work for 
some folks. They just never have for me.
