toolman1393434517 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 OK, I know they fit but I was looking at the Battery while at HD and it appears that the "foot" on the new drill is much smaller than that on my older model. Is this correct?? The reason I ask is I'm concerned about stuff getting snagged on the extra plastic of my old drill or it breaking off during the normal small drops and falls that can occasionally occur. The model number is DW988 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorb8881393434512 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 They did shorten the "foot" to avoid the overhang w/ lithium batteries. The drill shell is pretty durable, I don't think you'll break it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkfan23 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Couldn't you also just order a "bare tool" from DeWalt and not even have that issue? That would be my solution...if you don't mind droppin a few more dollars. New tool- New batteries!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
