Each individual who owns a home workshop knows just how just how necessary it is to have a good drill. But only an expert knows the power, performance and sturdiness of the tool all relies on the batteries.
Whether the task you do is home building and additions, or home transforming, or home repair, or furniture building and repair a cordless drill plays a vital role; and if this gets power from a good cordless battery, then you're certain that there's a massive difference in how well your projects go.
Drills Cordless
Though a drill could also be included in most home workshop tool collections, a cordless type of drill is superb for many occasions. For example, if you've got to work on a ladder or in a high place like a roof, a cordless type is more safe to use. Also, when you're working on an enclosed space or at an ungainly angle, a cordless drill is ideal for the job. The device just has one disadvantage, however. Since the cordless type is dependent upon its battery, there's a chance that you would stop in the middle of your work as the battery has gone out of electric energy.
This is really maddening as you would need to wait for hours just to get your work done. Nevertheless, this is a very simple problem that may be solved in 3 simple ways!
One, you must ensure that the battery has been absolutely charged before the planned time of use or activity.
2nd, you may have absolutely charged batteries at a ready at the time of work so you can replace the used battery on the spot and continue on with your task.
And the last move you can attempt to address this issue is to get the best battery for your cordless drill; that sort of battery you know that may last the longest while you are targeting a particular task and before they have to be replaced.
Luckily, there's a massive jump forward in improvement in today's battery packs compared to what they used to have before, although the difference in the power and life of the batteries you purchase still exists. Except for that, you also must consider environmental elements when buying batteries.
The cordless drills draw power from a nickel-cadmium kind of battery. Nickel-cadmium batteries are potent and can be recharged successfully so often that you can used them for an exceedingly long time. There's also no problem of replacing these batteries for there are lots of nickel-cadmium batteries out there in the market.
Disposal of these batteries presents an issue to the environment. Old nickel-cadmium batteries should never be disposed in the rubbish because cadmium is highly damaging. Cadmium can seep into the ground from landfills which can cause contamination of water sources, so causing such a worrying environmental risk. Folks have been suggested to reuse or dispose the nickel-cadmium batteries correctly, but a lot of them ignore this caution.
A brilliant substitute to nickel-cadmium batteries are nickel-metal-hydride batteries, which lasts as long as-perhaps even longer than nickel-cadmium batteries but aren't damaging to the environment.
With all of these to mind, even if nickel-metal-hydride batteries are far more dear than nickel-cadmium, it is much practical to buy cordless drills that already contains nickel-metal-hydride kind of battery within, or those drills that have compatibility with this kind of battery. The more patrons will go for a drill that runs on an environmentally-friendly battery, the more corporations will produce that sort of drill.

Unique, Flexible Power System
Like all tools in Bosch's 18-Volt line, this drill/driver can be used with either a 1.3-Ah BAT609 Slim Pack battery (two included) or a 2.6-Ah BAT318 Fat Pack. If you're looking for a lighter-weight option, the Slim Pack is the perfect choice. If longer runtime is what you need, the Fat Pack will do the job. Bosch is the only power tool manufacturer that provides this option.
Fast Speeds, High Torque, and Durable Construction for Reliable Results
The 36618-02 works at speeds up to 1,600 RPM and provides 500 in./lbs. of torque. Durashield housing, unibody construction, and a steel-reinforced collar help you withstand real-world conditions, like temperature extremes, rain, dirt, debris, and drops.
The 36618-02's Durashield Housing is constructed with ABS/Nylon composite, which makes the housing flexible and impenetrable. Unlike competitive tools, which use a conventional plastic housing, Durashield will not crack and can easily withstand 10-foot drops.
This tool also features unique unibody construction with three steel straps that keep the motor, gears, and clutch together. This ensures that the gears never separate from the motor, and it keeps the drill functioning even after drops.
Additionally, the 36618-02 boasts an exclusive steel-reinforced collar that protects the nose of the drill. It provides extra reinforcement in the event of drops on the chuck and prevents the chuck from bending or breaking off.
Easy Bit Changes and Balanced Design for Utmost Control
The 36618-02 comes complete with a single-sleeve 1/2-inch chuck for one-handed bit changes, as well as increased drill-bit capacity for versatility. And for maximum control, comfort, and balance, the tool boasts a newly designed handle-grip with finger support.
Smart Features for Easy Use
20 clutch settings and a variable-speed trigger help you match the best speed to the job, so you can achieve precise results. At the same time, the 36618-02's ergonomic design provides optimum comfort and control. And for even greater convenience, LEDs provide illumination when you are working in dark or enclosed areas.
ProVantage Guarantee
The 36618-02 comes with the ProVantage three-year protection plan, which guarantees two years of battery protection and one year of tool protection. Under this plan, you can receive two years of free battery replacements, tool replacement for one year, and a free tool repair package for the second and third years.
