![]() ![]() Still what to do with all my older tools, so when Dewalt came out with this adapter I got one, it worked, I was happy, real happy. It was more than enough to keep me loyal to big yellow and black. I was tempted to leave Dewalt but tried some of their new tools on the new 20V platform. Dewalt as this point has little incentive to invest in 30 year old technology. I get it, it has now been over 5 years since the line shifted to the new technology. As I have purchased new ones something is very clear, the new 18V batteries are total crap, the live on average about as long as a goldfish you win at a school carnival. Over the years though all my old 18V batteries finally gave up the ghost. When the first 20V Max tools came out I thought, “well that is nice, but my old tools are so solid I just don’t care”. I have however have stayed loyal to the Dewalt brand. I left that life of contracting many years ago now. Most guys doing this work are paid by the job, not the hour, a dead tool is something you just can’t afford. Dewalt became the brand of choice because flatly it survived where many other brands died. Drilling into telephone poles, bouncing around in trucks, being dropped into muddy holes while splicing in ground cable, etc. This work is hard on tools, we are talking be dropped and abused a lot. ![]() At that time, almost every tech I knew used one brand and one brand only, yep Dewalt. I am talking in 1995 I was using Dewalt drills and tools for CATV cable splicing and head end building. As many of you know I am a Dewalt fan from way, way back. Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the generic DCA1820 Dewalt Battery Adapter for 18V To 20V. Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. ![]()
