I've had the Grateful Dead and Dead and Co. on constant rotation as of late. You are right, John Mayer is an amazing guitarist, which you don't get listening to his pop music.

Thanks everyone! New drills it is! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry in advance for a stupid question. I received 2 ryobi 18v drills a decade ago when I got married. They no longer hold a charge. Is it worth trying to find new batteries, or do I pitch them and buy new drills? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
