Clearing out my shed and passing on a bundle of veteran DeWalt cordless tools – from the era of chunky NiMH batteries, in both 18V and 7.2V. Included are several well-used tools, one new battery for each voltage, and a handful of failed batteries (marked with a yellow cross) that someone with the right know-how might be able to revive. There are also two chargers – one working and one faulty, possibly repairable. The tools do work with the supplied new batteries, and replacement batteries for both voltages are easy to find on eBay. Whether you're looking to use, repair, or strip for parts, this bundle has potential.
This bundle is ideal for:
Tinkerers and tool hackers
Battery-rebuilders
DIYers with an old DeWalt system
Someone who just likes yellow tools that smell faintly of sawdust and heroism
🔧 The Tools:
DW960-XJ 18V Right-Angle Drill – 300W, 0–1500rpm, German-made
DW920 7.2V Right-Angle Screwdriver – 0–550rpm, folding handle, torque ring
DC330 Jigsaw – 18V variable-speed, tool-free blade swap
DW933 Jigsaw – 18V, no-nonsense 0–2000spm beast
(All tools tested with new batteries and working)
Note on the jigsaws:
One is usable, just missing a side guide
The other works but is missing the base plate – ideal as a spare-parts donor

🧠 BONUS INFO (Not Included, Just FYI):
You can sometimes revive these tools using a DCA1820 adapter, which lets newer DeWalt 20V Max lithium batteries work with these older 18V NiMH tools.
This adapter is not part of the bundle – just shown in the photos for reference.
If you already have modern DeWalt Li-ion batteries, this adapter could be a handy way to power the tools without investing in new NiMH batteries.
You can find DCA1820 adapters easily on Amazon or eBay.
