I've had the small Dewalt screwdriver for about five years and one of the batt.'s would no longer charge.
I found it cheaper to buy a new one from Amazon then to have Battery's Plus rebuild it.
A very reasonable replacement for the low price. DEWALT DW9057 Compact 7.2-Volt 1.7 Amp Hour NiCd Pod Style Battery
I have had this screwdriver for several years. I bought from Home Depot for I think $99.00. It came with the charger and two batteries which now will not hold a charge for very long. So, off to Batteires Plus to get them rebuilt. Nope - no way, the new Ray-o-Vacs they sell for $25 are $5 less than the rebuild fee. Actually, I was going to get $5 off for quantity rendering the prices equal but decided to leave and take my chances on the net.
I got to Amazon and noted the $29.99 price with no shipping (Prime Customer) and no sales tax. Even so, a few cents more but not enough for me to ride back to Batteries Plus.
Then, the deal breaker - the new screwdriver with 2 batteries and another charger is $78.99 - $18.00 more than just the two batteries. How could I not buy the whole set again. I will still have one battery per screwdriver.
And so it goes.
I've tried after market batteries for my DeWalt screwdriver and none of them last as long as the DW9057 and even though I opted for the free shipping I still recieved it fast. I have purchased from Amazon for some time now and I have never been dissapointed.
I have been using my Dewalt 7.2 volt screwdriver/drill kit for well over two years now both at home and on my job for light duties. It's size, weight, and configuration are great for small jobs, and I am still using my two original batteries after all this time though they are reaching the point I need to replace them now. The replacements are very reasonable in terms of cost, equivalent to Ryobi battery costs.
Hard to find these batteries in our city. As usual if I cannot find things here local I know I can find them on the internet and Amazon is usually the first place I start. The batteries are new and have the power and lasting power they should have. I am very pleased with the purchase and the speed in which they arrived. Thank You!
I love this tool. It's got the industrial sized oomph when you need it. It's a screwdriver on steroids - so when the batteries got weak after a couple of years I ordered one on the internet. It came quickly and it fit my old driver to a tee. Then I just pitched everything, including the driver and battery in the garbage.
I purchased 2 of these for the best price and got them from amazon. My old ones had finally wore out and wouldnt charge up. These new ones got my dewalt screwgun back to 100 percent and running screws like the unit was doing when I bought it brand new. Thanks amazon for the best price I could find anywhere.
I bought this 7.2 volt Dewalt cordless driver on e-bay and the batteries would not hold a charge. The Dewalt rep advised me when I called that the batteries were six years old when I bought it, so I ordered a new one from Amazon and it works fine and does a lot of work before needing a charge. It has changed my mind about this tool. It really is a workhorse and powerful enough for most projects that I do. I don't even need a second battery to do most of the jobs that require a drill.
We had a very hard time finding this battery in any store, even the battery specialty stores. The price here seemed reasonable and so far, works perfectly.
So glad we found it, the tool would have been useless without a battery. - Rechargeable Batteries - Dewalt - Cordless Screwdrivers - Battery'
