CHEAPEST Lithium Conversion for old power tools $20 including Battery

Stuff I used in the video:
Security torx for dissembling most battery packs: amzn.to/44ityyP
BASIC soldering iron kit under $10: amzn.to/3xTeYBx
Warrior Battery Drill kit at you local Harbor Freight.
After Thoughts about the Video: Only downfall too using the Warrior battery is 1.3ah(in the kit) and 1.5ah are the only off the shelf options. Can't beat the price for this though especially when you get it on sale for $19.99.

You are a true treasure for the old school make it work handyman type. Keeping perfectly good stuff working rather than loading landfills with more crap

Dog catching snow had me lmao😂

practical, this guy never wastes our time

this should go viral, all these different battery formats are annoying AF

I've 3D printed several adapters for old drills that I've bought at thrift stores. You can really go down a rabbit hole converting old drills to lithium batteries. Why spend $100 bucks or more for a new drill when you can spend $20 bucks revamping an old one!
-
So glad I am not the only one that enjoys keeping the older tools going! I like it! 👍

Craftsman 19.2 actually ended the line running lithium batteries, for about 5 years. You can buy aftermarket li-ion batteries for them that are probably just as good as those warrior batteries.

Got 25 year old hand me down makitas, converted to lithium about 5 years ago. All my power tools use the same cheap batterys. Some of the old ones was 12. No problem with 20 v. Thanks for making stuff like this available to more people. Edit: I haven't found a need to scrap any new machines to convert. I have modded the old machines using 3d printed parts in some cases. But my first ones where made by layers using thin playwood. Still going strong!

Im never disappointed when I stop in for one of your videos, great info here, thanks!!

Nice to save all of these Old school battery powered tools there sixty five Ford

My favorite guy, and girl (dog). If you were stuck on a island this guy would be you bestie. 👍🏻⭕️❌

I did this when my matco impact died, i grafted the matco handle onto the m12 handle and it worked great
-
If you have a 3d printer or access to one you can also print the adapters for pennies.

Had that craftsman set when i started as an electrician

I converted 2 old Porter Cable cordless drills (a 12V and a 14.4V) this way to use the newer 20V Lithium batteries. Worked on the 14.4V circular saw too! No problems running the lower voltage tools using the higher voltage batteries.

Loving Wife bought me a whole nice Sears Ni-cad set decades ago, which as all Ni-cad crap batteries lasted about 6 months. Batteries were hard-to-get/expensive so I mothballed the set. Now I'll Moe-size those old batteries and bring my Sears set back to life! TY Very Much, Sir! Oh and give Ginger an extra snowflake, for me!

Gotta love DoingItCheap !!! LOL !!! Tater Tot says "Woof, Woof to Ginger!"
-
I used an old AC power cord to connect to my old drill, then two alligator clips to connect to any battery in a truck, tractor, 4wheeler. Just another option that was free.

I've got a dead Makita LXT drill, good batteries and what was a very useful store-brand floodlight with a dead battery. Thanks Moe, I now have a plan!
