It's about 10 years old now. They've not made that model in a long time. I'm gonna be heatbroken when the batteries finally die on me.
I'll probably switch to a DeWalt, although amazingly enough, Panasonic makes a great cordless drill, it's just hard to find.
Driving home now. Wish me no slipping and no collisions.

My Makita cordless drill is about the same age, and appears to be pining for the fjords, although it could just be that the batteries are completely toast. I got a Craftsman to replace it which works great. I also have a 30 year-old corded Craftsman. (Which reminds me that I lent it to Ellen S a year ago, and haven't seen hide nor hair of it since...)
I have many many hammers and a selection of screw drivers and an electric drill and a couple of wrenches and pliers (including canvas pliers).
I need a saw.
Sadly, none of my tools are pink. Oh, and I don't have a toolbox so they are placed fairly randomly in drawers or on shelves in my apartment.
There's a company here in burbank that will rebuild old batteries. When mine dies I may find out how much it would be to replace the nicad cells in them.
I just bought my first power tool--a Black&Decker cordless screwdriver. It's not much, but it comes in handy when you have to put up blinds in the bedroom.
I got mine for my birthday a few years ago. I also have a nice hefty hammer that I think came from the Starbucks I used to work at. I can never keep track of my screwdrivers, though.
Ooh, staple gun. Not that it gets much use, but it's fun to know that I have.
screws and screwdrivers.
Have any of you read
One Good Turn?
In it the author that screws and screwdrivers were the most important tool of the last millenium. I was disbelieving until I read the book. Without the screw, there would be no printing press, no clocks, no sewing machines, no guns.
It's pretty amazing.
I love my hammer. It's a solid metal handle that is cut from the same piece as the head with a balanced rubber grip on it, and the neck of the handle is tapered so that it's anti-vibration.
I just realized my hammer is far too high tech.
I have a Craftsman Pro cordless drill. It is great. The first real cordless drill I have owned.
Another fantastic tool, the rotary saw.
