i used to have a Skil 12 v cordless tool set that had cordless drill, flashlight and compressor. the compressor was great for pumping up tires, inner tubes, air mattresses, etc, but it broke after a while. the rest of the tools worked until they got taken out by the forest fire that ate my house...there was an accessory which made it possible to use it while plugged into 120 volt house current as well, in case you were using it near a power outlet. I just replaced this tool with one from PORTER CABLE, which has a drill/driver, reciprocating saw, and circular saw....i have not had a chance to use it yet, but it is 18 V and i have high hopes....well, that is what the ant said, no?

oh, yes, i just remembered i sometimes used the drill / driver to power a blender for campsite beveredges, and also sometimes used a
wire whip instead of a drill bit...a woman's touch!!
