One of the worst tools ever...
on October 11, 2024
Posted by: Rob72
This adapter is the worst when it's time to remove it from the tool. i can understand wanting a nice tight fit but, when I have to start using other tools to try and remove it from the tool it's in, that's going too far. Whoever the person is in R&D at DeWalt that came up with this adapter is...they need to take the design back to the drawing board and redesign the releases on it. This one deserves to have a recall on it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Check Compatibility Before Buying!

All information provided on site indicated this is compatible with my 18V XRP DW960 right-angle drill.
It is not. Adapter will not mate properly with tool.
Returned to retailer.

Better than nothing
on September 23, 2023

I bought two of these when first introduced by DeWalt, one for my 18v circular saw, one for the 18v 1/2 inch drill. It's a great concept, and does allow me to still use them. However, the battery life is pretty poor. Leaving them attached to the tools overnight drains the batteries. The batteries only charge to 2 of 3 bars. I bought 2 kits, which allows me to rotate 4 batteries and keep 2 charging at all times. I really wish that DeWalt would offer better battery options for use with the adapters. It's a good thing I no longer rely on these converted 18v tools to make a living. If I did I would only be able to work for a half day.
These are good for around the house small jobs, but I would not rely on them professionally.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

tip for battery removal
on April 3, 2023
Posted by: BP40
haven't had this long enough to comment on longevity of charge but I figured out pretty quickly that to remove the adaptor you have to squeeze the buttons right near the top. Comes out as easily as any other battery powered tool I've ever used which is to say not perfect but doable. They are all a little finicky.
I would recommend this to a friend!

works ok but

works ok but the dang thing is just about impossible to get off of the tool, if you want to use it on multiple tools you will get frustrated trying to swap it multiple times.

Great option for older 18V DeWalt cordless tools
on August 25, 2021
Posted by: Viragoman
from Cane Beds, AZ
Was gifted a few DeWalt 18V cordless tools (drill, saw & charger), but no batteries. After several years of trying to source batteries a friend told me about this kit that came with adapter, batteries & charger. Kit price was just a little higher than a single, old, hard to find DeWalt 18V battery! Has worked well with my DC390 cordless saw. Only complaint is the release tabs of the adapter are a bugger-bear to release from the saw. Have been using for a month.
I would recommend this to a friend!
