If you have 9.6 tools, and I have a number of them, you need this battery. Simple as that. Is it the best in the world? No. Does it run the tool? Yes. Is it still available after all these years? Yes. End of discussion.

The old Makita set keeps going, and I like the feel of the drill, so a new battery makes sense. The NiCad seems to be just as good as the newer NiMh battery I have, and will charge in the old charger. I do admit my new Panasonic drill has much more power, but is heavier.

If you have any of the older cordless tools you will eventually need one of these. They are as tough and dependable as batteries get. These are about the only batteries that it makes more sense to buy than to replace the whole tool. As an example look at the 12v NIMH battery . They run about 150.00 for a pair.A whole new drill kit can be had for that. I would much prefer NIMH batteries but they are much more expensive and won't take as many charges in the long run.So I feel these are not that bad of a deal.

I feel that one can never have too many batteries. As my old Makita drill & recipro saw continue to work like the day I bought them, I find that I periodically have to replace the batteries as they wear out. After looking on e-bay for a long time, I found that Amazon had a good price to go along with free shipping. As I wasn't in any hurry, I was pleasantly supprised that it came pretty quickly.
