I'm about to go through my second power tool....Oh...the two power tools are fine...Its the batteries that are toast (on the first one) and about to go on the second one. Of course...replacing the batteries (if you can get them...) will cost more than what I paid for the tools AND batteries in the first place. It seems as if in the never ending search for "cheapening" products...the manufacturers have decided that it's OK to turn the tools into disposable commodities. Even well renowned names whose CRAFTSMANship was undisputed a few years back, doesn't mind sacrificing its reputation in pursuit of the almighty buck....If I ever buy another one, it surely won't bear this firm's name on it....
I have a modest screwdriver tool I purchased about 12 years ago, when power tools started making it big, and have gone through one set of batteries. The two newer power tools barely lasted 2 years each....wall1
Does any one know where replacement cells (individual batteries) might be purchased to replace the obviously defective ones in the power packs?
I'll get off the ranting stool now....:curse:
