Question about cordless stuff in general...

I'm not always a "plan ahead" kind of guy, and I'm not out in the garage every day or two, either. When some time opens up and I can get to a job, i get to it. Translation - my cordless batteries are almost always dead, and waiting to charge them means my time window is now gone. My cordless stuff is all NiCd, so maybe things have improved in the past decade..

I've got a Dewalt compressor, and it's my favorite tool. Whenever I need to do a job, I close the air bleeder valve, fire it up, and a minute later I'm ready to go for the day. After the job is done, I turn it off, use the residual air to check and maintain tire pressure in all of my vehicles, bleed off the rest, and call it day.

Any point/benefit to me grabbing some newer cordless gear? Just curious.. I like tools, so if I'm missing something let me know.

As an aside, Sears sold the Craftsman line fairly recently.

I'm a big Dewalt and Porter Cable fan as electric tools go.
