Evidently, from what you had to say about the chargers (http://toolboxhero.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/11113000.jpg), my drill is the first 19.2-volt drill, model model 973.113400. Further, a LiIon battery will not fit this drill. What a waste! The LiIon battery used in the Ryobi line trimmers will replace the NiCad battery in my Black&Decker 'sweeper'/blower. LiIon chargers don't overcharge. Shame on B&D for shipping its sweeper with a charger that isn't smart enough to quit when the voltage reaches charged status. Whoa! My mistake! The LiIon battery in the string trimmer fits any of the other “One” tools made by Ryobi. My drill that came with NiCad batteries and the circular saw that came with both can use the LiIon battery– with longer run time and less frequent charging due to its going dead while sitting around waiting for a warm hand.

You are right, it doesn't have a lot of force but that works well for me to blow sawdust because it doesn't get it airborne like using an air compressor. For vacumning it has about the same suction as a dustbuster. @BK, I always use my Craftsman shop vac to suck up around the shop, but I use the Blower/Vac to clean off the saws and router table.

Don't bother. Does nothing well. Workshop Blower/Vac Model 11592. Don’t bother. Does nothing well.
