Are these tools worth keeping?

[Gary Ward]

Cleaning out my home garage here lately and am wondering what I should do with these ancient electric impacts?
The battery's have been dead for 10 years or more. Last I checked the battery's were an arm and leg from Snap on. They were never that great when they were new. Should I chuck them in garbage or? TIA

Aftermarket batteries can be found relatively cheap.
One man's trash is another man's treasure. Put them on a table at your local EAA chapter with a "free to a good home" sign. They won't last long.

One other possibility… lots of 3 D printed adapters. Use a Milwaukee or DeWalt battery.

Personally... Trash. But that's cuz I've got modern day replacements

That's how I was feeling, junk. Haven't used them for a long time and they are clunky compared to newer tools. The battery dates are March/April 2008. I used them at work and racing.
But a Milwaukee M18 3/8" drive is 250 without a battery. I don't use them enough anymore to justify 250 bucks plus a battery.
I hate to throw away tools. I was close to it.
So I ordered a couple snap on battery rebuilds from Hoffa battery's off E bay today. About 75 bucks per battery plus shipping cost to send back cores to Mississippi. Free shipping back to me.
I know we have battery rebuilders here in town, Hoffa's offer a great product.
Years ago I used one of them here locally and the battery pack didn't last, IMO it was a rip off.

I've got an old second-hand Dewalt. I think of dumping it every time I get a whiff of those burnt brushes.

I have a old dewalt drill that smells the same way. I think it uses more battery than normal?
