Product does allow for continued use of an older Drill. However, for the price, a new drill can be purchased. To be honest in my evaluation, even though I can recommend the Product, I personally would not purchase it again since the Batteries are not the "Maxx" type.

The adapter fits well. all items in the kit are good quality, But the 2 AH battery's don't hold much juice, they are probably fine for a homeowner, but If you're using them all day you will be disappointed (lots of trips to the charger) The 2 AH batteries don't hold as much charge as the 5 year old 18 volt batteries I was trying to replace, the adapter might work better with bigger batteries.

I bought this product because I have older 18 volt tools and plan on switching to the 20 volt as they stop working (some already have). I don't want to keep buying 18 volt batteries and not be able to use them later so this was a good option. I'd have given it 5 stars but the adapter is very hard to get out of the 18 volt tools. The 20 volt batteries come out of the adapter easily but I need to switch the whole unit over to the 18 volt tools I have and it's not very convenient. Overall a decent product at a good price.

I read a lot of reviews. They said the generic adapters let your batteries can go to far down and they won’t be able to recharge. They said the authentic adapter was the way to go so batteries wouldn’t go too low to recharge. That’s true. They said it was very hard to get the adapter off the tools. Only if you leave the 20vt battery on it. When I take the battery off they pop loose easy. Glad I bought genuine dewalt to protect my investment. I was given a bunch of battery less tools so this is great for me.

great way to extend the life of my 18v tools where the battery was aging and had no charge holding ability anymore. the new batteries being li-po, should outlast any nickel cadmium or nickel metal-hydride batteries and are considerably lighter. only thing is the adapter fit. its tight seal and hard to take off, but not impossible. to ease matters, I ordered additional adapters so I wont have to move that part from tool to tool, just the battery itself.
