So another thought I had is try and take advantage of a Milwaukee promotion. IE, buy this tool and we'll include two new batteries and a charger. I could use maybe a mid torque impact or something, are they running any promotions like that?

In reply to docwyte :
Get something that is going to have you using those batteries more, that will help with their longevity
In reply to RacetruckRon :
I actually use the impact a decent amount, it's just old. Like, really old, maybe 8+ years or more
I have a "Milwaukee" deal alert on SlickDeals (no affiliation, but I've saved a ton of $$$ through their deal threads).
In reply to docwyte :
Usually the deals on cordless are between Nov 1-end of year.
I own damned near every cordless tool in the Ryobi universe and bought almost all of it around Black Fridays over the past few years.
I agree with the others. I hobby use my Ryobi cordless tools and have found them to be effective and they feel as though they are built for the long haul.
I would suggest buying just the tool you want right now and augment your collection in Nov-Dec as you wish.
I have a cheapo bootleg battery for my "porter cable" 20v stuff. Ive been satisfied with it. Order one on amazon, test it out. If it sucks, return it and try another.
I have the Ryobi HP One+ brushless 18v impact. I like it, very compact for the power and works well with all the other Ryobi tools I got with it (brushless impact, drill, and angle grinder, plus the brushed ratchet, 2 big batteries, 2 small batteries, and a charger for $500 was too good of a deal to pass up). I say go for it if you already have batteries.
