there was a cordless 18v drill that got a good write up in Which so went out and bought one - now I wonder if I did the right thing becausit has a NI-CAD Battery ( not bad at 1.5 amp hours tho)I know about the memory thing and have had drills in the past that havnot lasted long (small batteries) but I was wondering how the moderNI-CADs compare with the old type Can anyone give me any advice/their experiences? shall I take it bacand buy a more expensive one or will it do for general use?The problem is that it will be only be used for DIY stuff and so wonbe fully discharged ( and may be stored away 1/2 charged etc as it iused intermittantly)It says in the manual that before first us it should be charged andischarged 5 times - sounds like a pratt on???? what do you think!!! - any comment appreciatedpet--peterx666
