ive had my sds drill for about 5 months now, and out of the lot of my cordless kit, the sds gets the least used, about once every fortnight it comes out and even then its light work. ive just pulled it out today where just my luck, i need this trusty tool to save my life against alot of manual labour today..stick in a chisel attatchment, and the sds sounds like a bag of spanners, the hammer mode has gone into like trebble hammer and is shaking the whole drill, it totally sounds unhealthy, has anyone got a idea whats happend to my sds? im so annoyed as its never used for it to break like this, its useable if i hit the end of the chisel into the wall hard and the loud clanging stops for a bit, then back again.

ty, any ideas how many recharges you get out of the Xr battery?

Hi, ive just ordered the new XR range, and im wondering, can you recharge your XR battery's at any given battery level like the nano battery's? or would i just be short cycling them into a early grave? thanks for your help

thanks for your help guys, in the end ive bit the bullet and just replaced all my tools like for like to the XR range, its anoying to know you have a toolkit set which would be made redundant and recieve no upgrades in the near future oposed to the new kit

no, but the dewalt charger can charge all the new XR batteries though, so 1 charger for any dewalt XR battery

i am really saddened by the fact that i have invested over £1800 into dewalt cordless tools, and now to basicly be up against them having a new system. i dont know what to do!? do i sell my current system for next to almost nothing that i paid for it and put it all towards the XR kit or do i just leave it as it is? I just phoned my local dewalt tool centre to ask how much for a new 2.6 nimh battery and he said that dewalt have stopped making them and that prices are going up so they can try to push people onto the XR range...is this true? if so this is so unfair to people like me who have spent alot of hard earned cash to be pushed aside and basicly blackmailed into buying their new range. so the question is, do i sell up and upgrade? or just hold out?
