Sounds like a plan. I've got two drills (with craftman lifetime warranty) and 5 batterys. And I've got a dead mower that I picked up off the curb that I was planning on converting into electric anyway. I was planning on grabbing an old motor of some sort and wiring two of the drill batteries in series or parrallel, which ever worked better since I've got two one hour chargers also. However, if I can do it all with what I've already got, that's great news.
