I have one. Definitely need the extra batteries. They dont hold up great, but I hear ya with the Dewalt(best) and Bosch(junk)(their batteries for the price). I also got the brad nailer/stapler, which of all places is in with the mechanical, manual staplers. Works for me for light duty. If you have a quick heavy duty need, use your corded gadgets and use a 1000-1500 watt inverter connected to car battery and let the car idle.
