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.
The new Milwaukee M18 Fuel stuff is glorious. My 3/8" impact zips the lugs right off my dads 2500hd.

My Matco 1/2" air gun gets a lot less use these days because of it.
