My cordless drill/batteries work all of a sudden

[Randy Meijer]

As I remember the original post, the Ryobi is 5 or 6 years old?? That being the case, even though the batteries seem to be working now, chances are they won't be working much longer. I'd keep both drills.....you would be surprised at how handy it is to have a second drill, You could even use it as a loner and not have to be so concerned about having it damaged or lost or out of pocket when you need it!!!

You know...you could always say, "here honey, this is your very own drill!" (the Ryobi of course)

Hahahaha! That's brilliant!

You can go to home Depot and pick up a charger.

I find that if you leave old batteries laying around for a while, they will work
again for a while. They are still not new. Jim

If you didnt get a great price on the DeWalt I'd say to return it. Then take your time and do some shopping.
