For those of you who invested in a makia cordless drill in 1984 and have found it extremely useful over the years, you will be glad to know replacement battery packs are available. Now made with nickel metal hydride instead of ni-cad for higher capacity and less self-discharge.

I likewise have more modern tools but this still works. I even found an angle drill at a thrift store that works fine.
@Dougfir Still got one. Okay, late 1980s plastic case instead of the original metal, which is unfortunate. Both batteries still take a charge.
Honestly, I never use it; modern drills have many times the power and infinitely more control. But this tool started an entire industry.
Well worth new battery packs if you have one.
