CD34 would you use aol for your internet connectivity? Then why would you use a beginers brand for your power tools...lol
If you are considering buying any "real" cordless tools then you should consider the best of the bunch...DeWalt
Porter Cable is a fine second choice, but DeWalt is by far the best in cordless tools.

Mid-price substitutes such as Milwakee (still makes the best corded reciprocating saw - the sawzall -), Ryobi, or even craftsman by Sears or Rigid by Home Depot are decent, but for real reliability and life Dewalt (or porter Cable) is the way to go.

Cleo isn't the "dark" Robin Williams becoming a facinating actor?

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.
