Customer Reviews:
Great Kit but dead battery.......2007-09-21
Great kit until I came to use the 2nd battery, first was perfect. Stuck second in charger and 3 flashing lights ( defective battery). Mailed Amazon and was told to mail Dewalt, Dewalt never answered. Called the hotline , told battery's not covered and told to contact Amazon. Send Amazon second mail and no reply.
I buy a lot of stuff from here and this is the first problem I have ever experienced but to know that there is absolutely no support for defective items is an eyeopener, now I shop with that in mind. Saving a few bucks with Amazon does not make up for a dead $143 battery.
Original batteries.......2007-09-12
I can't add much to what others have said. No reason to review the drill motor here, this page is for replacement batteries. These batteries are original replacements from DeWalt. They shipped quickly, and went right to work with no problems.
Very pleased with the battery.......2007-09-07
I've tried after market batteries for my DeWalt screwdriver and none of them last as long as the DW9057 and even though I opted for the free shipping I still recieved it fast. I have purchased from Amazon for some time now and I have never been dissapointed.
Exactly what I ordered........2007-09-05
The battery was recieved on time in new condition. I have not had any problems with the product and would purchase again.
Great improvement!.......2007-09-03
This battery is a great improvement over the old XR, all-black batteries. Much longer lasting.

Amazon.com Product Description
The DeWalt 7.2- to 18-Volt Dual Port 1-Hour Charger With 18-Volt Nicad Battery Set powers the entire DeWalt line of 18-volt tools, letting users run multiple tools off the same battery pack. The NiCad battery provides up to 40 percent more run-time than standard batteries, and the dual port charger charges all DeWalt 7.2V - 18-volt batteries (except Univolt batteries), so users need only one charger for multiple cordless products. With this kit you can charge two batteries in 1 hour or less, minimizing down time. The three-stage charging system provides maximum run-time and extends overall life of the battery, and the battery's thermal protection system prevents charging batteries that are too hot or too cold, which would cause damage to the battery and a loss of run-time. The LED indicator offers 5 diagnostic levels to communicate battery charge status: charged, charging, power line problem, replace pack, and battery too hot or too cold.

Customer Reviews:
Works Great.......2007-07-05
The dual port makes it easy to have charged batteries when I need them. With both a handsaw and drill/driver I can use up two batteries in a big hurry. Now I can be charging two batteries while I am using two others. I don't totally understand the Automatic Tune-up Mode, but anything to extend the charge or life of these expense batteries is good.
DeWalt.......2006-12-13
The standard in construction ! Double hole charger does it all...re-conditions the cells too...the plug has an outlet on the back of it so you don't lose an outlet opportunity at the job !
Another quality DEWALT product.......2006-07-31
Worth the cost for those of us who really put the cordless tools to work. The quick turn-around of two 18v batteries to a full charge is a huge bonus for me when the wood chips are really flying in my shop... it lets me keep working without delay or distraction.

Like I said in the title, they stink when used and don't last near as long as the original batteries did. I am sorry to say this, but after 27 years of running the shop with 1 employee I think we can tell you difference between good and bad. Thankyou

Product Description
iMac is, quite simply, an outrageously attractive, surprisingly affordable, and extraordinarily easy-to-set-up-and-use system. It comes fully loaded, but brings along none of the hassle you might associate with the word "computer". Get ready for the excitement of swift, simple Internet access - your passport to a world of information. And playing so richly detailed game, you actually feel like you are in another world. Consider the fact that iMac delivers significantly more power than you would expect from a computer at such a great price.Whether you are a first-time computer user or a highly experienced one, iMac, with its powerful, state-of-the-art features and simplicity of setup and operation, is the ideal choice. It will let you do the things you want to do with a computer, and many things you may only have dreamt about.
Amazon.com
While we generally like the iMac as a family-oriented or multimedia system, this low-end model comes with a minimal 64 MB of memory. That's one of the reasons it ships with Mac OS 9 rather than the newer and more impressive Mac OS X, for which Apple recommends a minimum of 128 MB. Other system components are adequate and include a 500 MHz PowerPC G3 processor, 20 GB hard drive, and a CD-RW drive. As with all iMacs, a modem and Ethernet networking are standard, and the system case is an integrated design that houses a 15-inch monitor. While the iMac product line includes some solid choices for home use, this particular model wouldn't be our first choice.
Customer Reviews:
great computer - but.......2007-09-10
These Imacs are great, but they tend to overheat - and then crash or die on you. as for the way they function with 512 or 1 gig of memory and a minimum of 400Mhz - 500 or 600 is better the G3 will do everything you need. just run it a while and make sure it is not overheating - Apple did not put a fan in the units, you can put one under it, but does not seem to help - both of mine died in the same week, so I am thinking of buying a used one to use the hard drive and memory....the best thing about this machine is upgrading to OSX and using all the neat programs - very nice, but then that means you are paying top dollar for UNIX which is low cost or freeware, and Unix - Xenix - etc...just a thought..
Macintosh Counterface.......2004-07-05
The Apple Macintosh G3 has revolutionized the way people interact with computers. The design that saved Apple, this machine features so much packed into a tiny microsystem. It is completely plug and play - Any device plugged in will automatically be detected without the use of drivers. Connecting to the internet and to networks is a snap, and professional applications are simulated only on the macintosh. Apple is rock solid UNIX, which delivers a powerful performance for any UNIX guru. Great software is included which is easy to operate. 'The new iLife is like Microsoft Office for the rest of your life'. Whether your just beginning with computers or are a professional, the Macintosh line of products is right for you.
Great Little Computer!.......2004-06-05
This is my third iMac (moved up from a G3 400mhz) and it is simply wonderful.
It does everything I ask it to and didn't even brake the bank. Mine cam equiped with a 500MHz G3, 40GB HDD, 256mb pc100 sdram, 16mb ATI Rage 128 Ultra AGP 2x, and a Combo Drive (normally this model comes with a CDRW).
I burn all my cd's, watch tons of DVDs, run Mac OS 9.2.2 and Mac OS 10.3.x perfectly fine and play some older games (I'm not a fan of most new games, but love the older ones like Quake 1,2,3, Unreal and AvP!).
Mac OS X runs great, which I was very surprised about. I also run Adobe Photoshop 7 and Office X on this machine and it does it all very well.
Perfectly happy with this machine and I'm sure that when I go to upgrade again I will keep this one around for odd jobs.
BAD Computer.......2004-01-14
My friend showed me this computer, and I never really saw why heliked it so much. It crashed if you ran 2 or more programs and it has hardly any software. It may have virtual PC, but that crashes every time you do something useful. You may think I shouldn't be reviewing this, but I spent enough time on it to know it's a terrible computer. It has some upsides (like you don't need to type .com and the starting time is somewhat reasonable), but not enough to distract you from how terrible it is. If the monitor breaks, your whole computer is dead. Trust me, if you want a good operating system, you should get Windows 2000 Professional. It's the best operating system I've used, and Mac OS 9 is the worst.
Take a bite..........2003-11-14
I have explored many types of computers. I ran my Parliamentary office off a Commodore 128 (the good version) and was the envy of all of my typewriter-bound colleagues; I had an Apricot (raise your hand if you've even heard of that!); I've had several IBM clones as well as the IBM XT (which stands for Xtra Terrible now) up to my Pentium III; but my love has always burned strongest for my Macs. Progressing from a Mac Plus to an SE to a IIsi to a G3, Macs have always been the way to go for so many things, especially when recommending to others on the basis of ease of use and learning.
So, when the Indiana Literacy Foundation needed to upgrade their out-of-date Macs, we ordered iMacs. These are fast machines (we got the 500MHz variety) that are easy to learn and easy to set up. They connected with no problem to our Ethernet network which ran the printers and the internet connection. The office runs primarily on MS Office and a 4D shared database; the iMacs performed marvelously in these tasks, too.
The biggest drawback would have to be the lack of ports (they really do need to have at least one more UBS port); and there needs to be a disk drive -- hard to transport data to off-network (or, when the network is down, no-network) computers; but perhaps the most user-conscious problem lies with the mouse and keyboard. The mouse is round, it slips to easily under the hand; the keyboard is small (feels cramped to use) and doesn't tilt up enough.
However, these iMacs have served the Foundation well for a few years, and everyone was aglow with happiness (having been released from bondage to PowerMac 6100 slow pokes).
Ah yes, we got the blueberry kind (because they were on sale).
