Steven Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Bought my first 'real' cordless drill approx 10 years ago. Its a DC759KA compact 18v drill kit. I'm still using XRP NiCads. The origional black charger (DW9116) just crapped out. The old style charger is now discontinued, so I bought another new yellow charger (DC9310) to go in the kit. The new charger has a little bigger footprint & wont fit in the case. I can buy a new old-style charger on ebay for approx $30, but I dont want to invest in the old technology. This is a very minor deal, but in my line of work I need to keep everything together to keep it from getting damaged & lost. Hmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjones Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 You can modify the spot in the case to fit the new charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanxrus Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Or buy a DCD760 case.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thanks for answers. I wonder if a DC759 would fit nicely in a DCD760 case, since the 759 is approx 1" longer. I was thinking about taking a die grinder to grind away the walls/dividers inside the case. But I decided to try placing the new charger in different positions and I did find a way to make it fit without any modifications. Having the case open with the handle facing me (normal open position), I place the new charger in the old charger spot but I put it upside down with front decal/sticker facing the handle side. Cord still stores in front of drill chuck. Its not a perfect solid fit like the old charger, but it works. Case closes all the way. Still room for drill & 2 full sized yellow top XRP Ni Cads.
