I'm about 20 years, and second pair of batteries, into my Makita 9.6V screwdriver/drill. It has seen at least a dozen years of daily commercial use and another 8 or so years of homeowner-type use. It is the most wonderful tool I ever found for driving brass screws into hardwoods, without twisting them off.
