What kind of cordless drill do you use and how do you like the quality and battery life?

I bought the Ryobi LITHIUM batteries mid 2008 - They lasted for 3 years. Both of them literally just died in the last month. Have not determined yet if it is the batteries or charger. I'm thinking the batteries due to one did work a month longer.

BUT even though they are dead - I LOVE THEM and will buy more..... Does anyone know if Ryobi has upgraded their batteries in the last three years? No biggy I will find out soon. Will be making a purchase in the next couple weeks.

Never tried it, but have seen where people zap the battery with a welder to revive it. Google "reviving battery welder".
