I live in a cold city where it get’s down to -35 in the winter. Does it matter if I store tools in the garage that are battery operated?

The old chuck wrench method worked well but all the new drill chucks are hand tightened and do not hold well. Bits and drills fall out or won’t turn when you try to drill a hole.

I went shopping for Father’s day early and bought my husband a DeWalt 18V Cordless Adjustable Clutch Driver/Drill, is it a good drill? He is a really great father and deserves something good. His last drill was a Craftsman and crapped out after a couple of years.
PS. I couldn’t find a “tools” category so I figured this one was close enough.

I have looked everywhere on the net but can’t find anything. All I found was that they are sold at Walmart in Canada…. but I bought mine in the states. It is very good drill and would like to keep it, but I need a charger as the one it came with died. Maybe there is such a thing as a universal charger?

I’m in the market for a new cordless hammer drill. Having read dozens of reviews and opinions, I’ve narrowed it down t either the:
- Makita 18V Li-ion 3 spd, or the
- Milwaukee 18V Li-ion 2 spd.
Which is better cordless drill…for regular trade use in tasks ranging from carpentry to small structural projects? Is the build quality similar?

Just bought a new B&D cordless drill. It emits a spark when you press the on button. Is this normal or defective. I can remember my dads old corded drills showing a spark while it was on. He said it was part of the (something) can’t remember. My partner says he’s taking it back but I don’t think it’s anything to fret about.
