Oh, that's an assumption that has been borne out by harsh reality; they don't even make batteries that fit my Ryobis any more. It's actually cheaper to just buy these 'starter' sets as they go on sale than it is to buy replacement batteries.
That's really the only complaint I have about the Ryobis - I have done SO MUCH with that drill, it's helped me put up about a thousand shelves and fix a zillion things. And the light comes in handy, lemme tell ya. If this new set lasts as long as the Ryobis do, all will be groovy.
I would hope in 10 years that most everything we use will take a lot less juice, but electricity can't "go away" any more than fire can quit getting hot. As long as water flows downhill or the wind blows or the sun shines, we'll still have electricity. Hell, when things were at their worst in Sarajevo -snipers, artillery rounds hitting at random, you name it - people had their own paddle-wheel hydroelectric generators in the river, so's they could cook and watch TV.
