Ive got 3 gas chain saws of various sizes and age and they'll still be going probably when the battery saw will be done. I've thrown away battery drills because the battery died and a new battery was almost as expensive as the newest whole drill set which is supposed to be new and improved.

It's interesting I have a bunch of Snap-On old cordless tools but they are all NiCad battery. Heavy and low battery power but the TOOLS are great. My newer LI battery tools have great high power batteries and motors, but the tools are CRAP. The chucks, clutches and drives are low quality. The perfect combination is still illusive.
