When I moved to Florida, I got rid of most of my tools because I figured, I'll just hire people to do the work. Well, Florida businesses aren't used to actually doing business and when or if they show up, its usually way later than they said, so, the tools were purchased out of necessity to avoid the stress involved in dealing with Florida contractors.
You would figure a drill with two batteries should have been able to screw 130 or so wingnuts -- no matter what the brand.
That drill is almost brand new and has probably drilled 50 holes and put up and removed the hurricane shutters twice. At that rate, we're looking at 4.3 cents per activation before it expired.
And Dewalt is built by Black and Decker. B&D's problem appears to really be their battery supplier, and I cannot imagine that Dewalt sources batteries from a separate company.
My wife did throw away a B&D Can opener that wouldn't open cans a while back.
