Interested in outcome... Was thinking of getting DeWalt as all my battery tools are DeWalt... And now DeWalt has adapter to use the 20 volt Lithium in 18 volt line of tools...

Ill post the results when it happens.
I have that adapter because there are a few 18V tools I kept. It does work with many of the tools, but not all. I traded in or gave away most of the 18V stuff and replaced it with 20V. For example, the adapter will work in the 18V circular saw but you can't cut to the full depth because the now-extended battery bumps the work.
Many of the 20V tools are now the brushless and the run time is a lot better than the 18V versions. The L-ion batteries don't discharge between projects like the NiCad batteries did. The best tool to come along in years is the 1/4" impact. I added a keyless chuck and unless I have serious hole poking to do it isn't often I reach for a "real" drill.
