Hi Sherrie C. Yes the 12v battery can be used on the 18v vacuum with less run time. (Be aware some 18v tools wont take the 12v battery without a small modification).

I have the 18v vacuum and just love it. Work very well with 18 v battery, actually I use the big size batteries

Yes. You can use the 12 or the 20 volt battery. The 20 volt works best and will last longer.

A normal 18v cordless drill with battery attached would be a tight fit. Could easily fit with battery detached. A corded drill should fit in there yes

The batteries will work with all the 18v brush motors. Just not the compact 18vs.

No. This tool takes Dewalt's 20 volt batteries, so your 18 volt battery will most certainly NOT work with it. It does come with its own 20 volt battery though. Excellent tool. I like it.-john

The body of 10.8 is approximately the same size as the 12 volt, it's in the battery area that it is different. The 12 volt has a larger square battery that is not too big but carries a longer charge with a little more torque. I bought mine with a specific purpose and it works absolutely perfect for me. I do sheet metal work on furnaces and duct work where I need to get into tight spaces with enough power and torque for small and medium sheet metal screws. It's smaller handle gives my hand the ability to move around the drill into different positions comfortably and still apply the force needed to drive the screw. The drill seems to stay charged for long periods but when it's done it's done. I used my 1st set steadily for about 3 years until they were stolen from my truck. I replaced them with the same drill. If you feel that you need more torque you may want to go with the 12 volt. I have checked other small drills, and there are some good ones out there but I stayed with Makita a very dependable drill.

From my understanding all 18v batteries work in all 18v tools. Which means it should fit

M18 18v batteries work with m18 tools. I'm not really sure what your asking?

If you mean the 18v Makita drill, then this is the one. There is no other drill on the market, none, that can do the same things the Makita 18v can do. Be sure to get the drill wight he Lithium batteries. Awesome product, he'll absolutely love it. You're a very nice and understanding wife!

It would depend on how you use it, I bought the hand vac several months ago. I clean the filter once a week, we use it all the time and yes it is compatible with 18 volt batteries. This is the best hand vac I have ever used.

I can't answer that. I only have the chain saw. But if they are like every other company, an 18 volt battery is standard for any their equipment which uses an 18 volt.

It comes with the HPB18 18V battery. I bought an extra battery which is HPB18-OPE 18V battery and it works with this Vac.

The 20V Dewalt batteries are physically different than the 18V. They are not interchangeable. One thing to note, the 20V designation has been made mostly for marketing because when fully charged a 18V battery actually measures aprox 20volts anyway. So far I'm sticking with the 18v design because I can't see a reason to "upgrade".

You can use all of this same style 18 V , that is one of the great things DeWalt hs done. This is one of the main reasons I bought DeWalt. Just cannot use the Max style batteries, as they attach completely differently.

As long as the otool you are trying to use us 18 volt as well, yes they will work. The only ones that will not work in the drill are the lithium ion batteries, they are exclusive to lithium ion tools
