All the same could be said of portable power drills. Good point. You notice drills usually come with a spare battery and when the batteries stop holding a charge, people usually throw away the drill They do? I send the battery packs out to be rebuilt. Last time I checked, it was about half the cost of a new, OEM battery pack, including shipping. Why toss a perfectly good power tool because it needs a fresh battery pack? It is true. I know you can get cheap batteries online or get your packs rebuilt but your average guy just goes to Home Depot, sees the batteries cost as much as the drill and they buy a new one. This conversation goes on over at alt.home.repair all the time. ------------------------------------------------------------------ My last rebuild was about 60% the cost and lasted about 1/2 the time original battery did. |
