The Denali Story
Named after the tallest mountain range in North America, Denali tools stand above the rest in providing an exceptional blend of quality craftsmanship, professional-grade features, and customer value. All homeowners, hobbyists, do-it-yourselfers, and price-conscious contractors will appreciate Denali.

And, yeah, after a year, the batteries (I have 2) are pretty much shot. And the helpful little note from Amazon reads: "not sure if or when this item will be available." Amazon, this is absolutely unforgivable. A year after I bought the entire Denali 18v set, the BATTERIES ARE UNAVAILABLE. At the very least, a responsible company would tell us if some other battery will fit the tool. I can't rate the charger very high if there is no source for batteries, right. And yet, Amazon still sells the 18v tools as "bare-tool," with no warning that batteries aren't available.

This thing looks kind of funny, but it gets the job done. so it's easy to hide the charger under a desk or something or route the cord around things. It works like any other cordless-tool charger; you put the battery on it, and it charges it.This thing charges the batteries pretty quickly -- and the batteries last long enough that the one in the cradle can easily charge before I've run out of juice on the second battery.It features lights to tell you what it's doing (charging, trickle/maintaining, or charged), it beeps when the battery is ready, and the cord is very long (6 feet or so).

works as claimed. kind of a lot of shelf space for the job it does.

It charges fast and doesn't seem to produce any excessive heat. As it is it functions well. That is the only improvement I can think of for this charger. This charger seems to work as well as any of the more expensive units I own. It does not have mounting holes so it can be wall mounted. I am very pleased with it. I prefer to wall mount my cordless chargers in my workshop it keeps them cleaner and makes them easier to find.

it clearly tells you want it is doing, and what it means by the blinking which is labled on the charger. again these are for a homeowner not a contractor, but the price is so good they might as well be disposable tools. it feels like it is good quality. i did get one of my three i ordered defective, but amazon got me a replacemnt with next day shipping so i am very pleased with amazon as well as the denali line of tools.
