/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Snap-On still has 14.4V for their compact tools, the design actually works pretty well with 4x 18650 cells. But I think that DeWalt is an old NiCd design. IIRC, the early Makitas were 7.2V, they were basically cordless screwdrivers, so I guess the next step was doubling them up to 14.4V until everybody went 18V+ with their NiCd and eventually lithium? I used to have an old cheap Black & Decker 14.4V NiCd drill as well.
