Farm Update and: Upgrade old 18v Dewalt cordless tool: 20v lithium ion adapter kit review
What happens here
With the 1-inch paddle bit installed in the 18V DeWalt drill, the creator first attaches the 20V MAX Lithium-Ion battery (using the adapter) and drills a hole completely through the 4x4 wood stock. He then replaces it with the old 18V NiCad battery and drills a second hole. He notes a clear difference in the power and 'crispness' of the drill's operation with the new Lithium-Ion battery, indicating a significant performance upgrade.
Goal: Compare drilling power between 18V NiCad and 20V MAX Li-Ion batteries.
