I got a new cordset put on a jigsaw today at the local motor and tool repair shop when I see a sign indicating they had someone rebuilding battery packs for them.
Ni-Cad or Ni-Mh, all voltages, so I do a heel spin to my truck and return with a 18v pack the charger flashed replace, tool boy hands me a battery in a bag with a one year warranty for $42.00.
I may not be able to escape the company’s fetish for dewalt battery tools but at least,I hope, this might improve their battery dilemma.
