Firstly NiMH batteries were intorduced to replace Ni-Cad batteries in cordless power tools, and now the new Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are replacing NiMH batteries in the industry. Most of the big tool brands are now employing 18v Li-ion batteries in their cordless power tools. One such manufacturer being Craftsman, whose 18v power tools are leading the way in the use of this new technology.

Li-ion batteries have been used in other electronic devices for a while, for example laptop computer batteries, but is only recently that they have become popular in cordless power tools. It is a great advance in the DIY and buiding industries as Li-ion batteries have so many benefits over older battery types. The recently brought out 18v power tools will be advantageous to both professionals and hobbyists performing home DIY, alike.

One of the greatest benefits of a Lithium-Ion battery cordless power tool is the fast charging time. A Li-ion battery can completely re-charge in about 15-20 minutes using a rapid charger, whereas a Ni-Cad battery takes a couple of hours, often longer, and even NiMH batteries take a long time to charge.

This can be very annoying if you don't want to wait to charge a tool that you need to use, or could even cost you valuable time and money on a job. When using cordless power tools traditionally you have to remember to put them on charge at least a few hours before you need them, often the night before.

Another advantage of Li-ion batteries is that they hold their power over time rather than loosing it like Ni-Cad and NiMH batteries. You can charge a Li-ion battery and leave it for a couple of months and when you come to use it again it will still have some power. If you charged a NiMH battery and left it for several weeks it would probably have no charge left when you came to use it so you'd need to charge it before you could use it.

Li-ion batteries also often come in twos so you can work all day without ever having to wait for one to charge. They have another advantage over older batteries also, in that they are incredibly light considering the amount of power they offer. This makes them easy to use, even for less experienced people who are less used to holding up heavy tools for periods of time. Unless you are fairly strong or fit, holding a heavy tool up at eye level over a period of time can really make your arms ache.

It looks like the future of cordless power tools is going to be Lithium-ion battery 18v power tools, as they offer so many benefits over older battery powered tools. Many professionals are using 18v power tools already and it looks certain that hobbyists and home DIY-ers will follow suit to get all the benefits of this technology.

Everybody has seen the Craftsman power tools commercial on television and magazines worldwide since Sears was clever enough to realize that if they put their brand name on an item this would probably cause people to believe this is an excellent product. If a product ends up being trash,then Sears will blow their reputation by selling bad products. Luckily for Sears the Craftsman power tools are far from inferior products and they have carried the Sears name for years which means that the superior quality offered by Craftsman power tools are no mistake.  It is the result of years of intense engineering that has brought the Craftsman power tools not only to the forefront of the American retail market but also making its way into the professional garages and the construction sites of the world.

It isn't just the quality that makes the Craftsman power tools so popular but the wide variety of power tools they offer that also helps to make Sears the one stop shop for all your power tool needs.  The Craftsman power tools have a wide range of table tools like their high volume wood lathe and their very popular table saw.  If you are putting in a floor or doing some plumbing they have their tile and cut off table saws available to make any job easier.  For finishing work they also have a wide variety of quality table sanding machines that can run the range from low end work to high volume as well.  Their quality and manufacturing is second to none and Craftsman power tools are quickly finding their way into the workshops of the world.

When You Need That Power In Your Hands

The Craftsman name is not only famous for its table saws and lathes but there is also the huge variety of hand held non-power tools that Craftsman is really known for.  A Craftsman screwdriver is said to last a life time and if you check any grandfather's tool kit you are more than likely to find a Craftsman tool he bought when he was a young man that he still uses to this day.  Screwdrivers, hammers, wrenches, and grips are just some of the hand held tools that Craftsman is famous for the world over.

Craftsman power tools surpass the other brands when it comes to how well they are made and how well they hold up. Craftsman power tools are widely available and popular as being one of the worlds' most convenient and user friendly brands available.
