Ive been very energy efficient this winter but am getting prepared for South Texas heat. Will using standing fans, ceiling fans be better than using my central air? What about using window units, how much energy can be saved using those?

The combination of a 3.75″ total head length and an integrated Electronic Clutch make the M18™ Cordless Right Angle Drill the most compact 18V Right Angle Drill Driver in the industry. A 3/8″ Single Sleeve Keyless Chuck, extended multi-position trigger and up to 150 in-lbs of torque provide versatility, ease of use and power that is unmatched.

Dewalt cordless tool batteries are NiCd, or now, Lithium ion. Some companies make NiMh battery replacements that seem to work as well or even better than the NiCd’s in my tools. Why doesn’t DeWalt make NiMh replacements? I asked them to no avail. NiMh batteries can stand many more charging cycles from what I understand and are used in walkie talkies and cameras. Why not power tools?
I would tend to agree nimh are better, but why don’t the tool manufacturers use them? They only offer nicad and lithium. Is there a difference in the maximum discharge current available for heavy loads? p.s. For at least 4 years now DeWalt has recommended charging nicads as soon as they start to lose power, and never wait until they are fully discharged. Same for B&D.
