Next time you want to drill a 1" hole in cement block, John, try setting up a piece of 1/2" rigid and whack it with a 4 lb. hammer (and quick patch with hydraulic cement). Really, though, I'd get out a corded tool before I used 6 batteries.

I recently thought about getting one of those sets of cordless tools until I read posts of two or three of the tools being light-weight/useless.

I'd rather spend $300 on one tool that I'll love every time I pick it up than to buy a five tool set that I'll hate and end up throwing away. I don't have a single DeWalt or Ryobe tool on my truck.
