DeWalt DC927KL 18V Hammer Drill Preview

Don’t Throw Away That Broken DeWalt Tool!

I had a 5 gallon bucket full of tile mortar with a large mixer attachment in the chuck of my drill and was going to town. I had already done like two buckets of mud without any incident but on this last mix, the drill gave up the ghost, complete with smoke and that nasty burning electrical smell that is never good.

Researchers at MIT have developed a new way of making Lithium-Ion batteries that makes the power more available, makes them last longer, and allows them to charge a lot faster.
