Skin for Second handy tool
I'm considering the current offer of a skin Protool 18v impact drill to compliment the set I have with 2 batteries.
I like the idea of the skin where it becomes a second handy drill, one where one could be used as a drill the other as a driver thereby fully employing both batteries without the need of bit changing etc.
I can see the merits of this with the Protool if being used on a day to day and onsite application.
The question I ask of myself is it a "want or a need" the current tool has taken on a fair bit of work so a skin looks like a cost effective means of having on hand the tool for the batteries.
I wonder if anyone has had their batteries outlive the purpose built tool.?

I started doing this a few years back and would never go back to using just one drill. It's not uncommon for me to be using up to 4 drills on the one job; long thinner bit for screw thread, shorter thicker bit for screw shank, countersink and screw driver.

It's almost abnormal for us to now sell a drill as a single tool with 2 batteries, approx 90% of sales are 2 piece kit or more,due to the popularity brands are now putting 3 battery deals together to have on charging whilst you use the other 2. One thing you need to do is ensure you don't charge batteries straight after each other on the charger& it's always good to let batteries cool down before you wack them on the charger

I have numerous battery drills unfortunately they do not stand up to the rigours in comparison to my Protools 18v its a beaut therefore no hesitation in choice for a task.
I think I'm probably going to off load those that I do not use.... quite a few Festools that are languishing in systainers and not fully employed.
