I like the fact that it uses 18650 batteries. Two of them is good.
just a note about these batteries, All the drills on the market that have lithium batteries use 18650 inside the plastic casing, usually one one battery goes bad. Get those drimal motors out and split open the case, then separate the batteries. Test them with an OHM / voltage meter. Throw away the bad 18650's and you will have a hand full of good ones.
Not all of them use the 18650. Many use the C-size batteries wrapped in some tape. I use my 18650s in a Cree UltriFire small, but very powerful flashlight. It takes one 18650, or three AAA batteries. So I use the 18650s. I take 6 of them when I go camping.
Yes some use sub-C sized NiCd or NiMH, instead of Li-Ion, but there are some lower cost, lighter weight Li-Ion powered drills that use 14500 (AA size Li-Ion) instead of 18650.
Was able to get THREE at $8.99. Just tested one, and it works great. I'm currently painting a room, and this really helps w/the cutting in. The other two are going to make great Christmas gifts. Thanks Ben!
No, its not 5000 lumens, but its pretty darn bright, includes 2 18650 batteries, and a charger. I wish I could get another at the $8 promo price. Don't really need it for $16, but I'd do it again for $8!

I have the same situation--currently using one that uses AAA batteries that are sapped pretty quickly.
Thank you!
