Heads-up, the 3/8" drive sockets won't work on a hog-ring anvil. Very sloppy fit. I returned those and ordered some 3/8" tekton impact sockets.

Same experience here! Glad to see the mechanism has been redesigned in 4000, 4300, 8220 and perhaps other models.

Bogie - can you expand on your comment that the Dremel batteries "didn't fair all that well?" As I understand it, these batteries are identical to Bosch 12v battery, with the exception of the base plate. I've read that 30-40 minutes of run-time is expected. Did you have significantly worse...

Do you ever find the 8220 to be underpowered? I have a 3000 that stripped the lock mechanism. I'm trying to decide whether to replace it with the 4000 or the 8220. The 8220 is appealing for the cordless aspect (plus I have lots of Bosch 12v that are compatible with minimal effort). If it is...

The 3000 has served me well, but the shaft lock strips easily. The 4000, 4300, and 8220 all have a much beefier shaft lock.

Thx! Now that the old packs have been replaced under warranty, I may futz around and try to rebuild an old pack for fun.

Thanks for the thorough response. The previous cells failed because they are old. Bought in 2007! These were Ridgid 24v XLI lithium ion batteries. Ridgid long ago discontinued the 24v system. But, I had registered for the Lifetime Service Agreement, and Ridgid is sending me two new...

Thanks! I’m really a battery newb. Sounds like aside from diameter, the 21700 cells are identical to 26700 cells?

Anyone know of a reputable source for these IMR 26700A batteries? I have some old Ridgid 24v lithium-ion batteries I'd like to rebuild.

Sweet!

Gents: I dropped the prices. I was able to buy these at a great price, and am trying to pass the savings on to my fellow GJers! These prices are 50-75% below other retailers! If you're interested in purchasing multiple items, I may be able to work you an even better deal. With shipping...

Wrong. Seller is charged a percentage fee from eBay on BOTH sale price and shipping cost.

Hello fellow GJers! I have several brand new Knipex Insulated Tools for sale. All are the 1000 volt insulated tools. Payment through paypal. All prices are shipped within continental US. 3/8" drive SAE Insulated Sockets -- $16 each Knipex 98 37 5/16" insulated socket Knipex 98 37 3/8"...

Ordered one this morning before the price jump. I had been watching this for several days, hoping it might drop below $30. But, once I saw it had garnered SD attention, I figured it the $30 price was short-lived.

Sent you a PM a bit ago. Thanks
