Re: [MBZ] OT cheap cordless drill

That's probably what happened to mine. I have had it a while but don't use it that much and the battery will not hold a charge long enough to screw in a couple of screws. I always just left the battery on the charger all the time till I needed it. Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 12, 2017, at

Re: [MBZ] OT cheap cordless drill

I have the little brother - the 12v Bosch drill - and love it so much that I got a second one so I don't have to run between the hangar and the garage, it was always in the other building from where I was working. I think the second one was on "sale" at Lowes for $99 at the time. It has two speeds

We have a Dewalt at work and its really nice. When the battery in my Craftsman 19v finally dies I'll probably go with one of those.That said the second battery started dying 2 or 3 years ago probably from lack of use but the "good" one is still fine. I've had the thing nearly 10 years, nothing

I have a couple HF drills. the charger does not regulate, so it is easy to ruin batteries by overcharging! (forget to take it off the charger) I'd go with the house brand from lowe/HF/maynerds or Dewalt/Milwaukee. I finally broke down and went dewalt because of the ubiquitousness of the

The same shutters have been used now for about 16 winters and really show no deterioration. It is 7/16" rather than just 3/8" but I doubt that makes much difference. They have a coat of white paint on the exterior side. Might only be primer. My mother painted them so I really don't know what

The Sears cordless drill lasted about 10 years, and at 16 years one of the battery packs still will hold enough juice to get a few small things done. I was tempted to either rebuild the battery packs or replace the battery packs, but when I looked at the cost, this HF deal was a no-brainer. $26.40

Made a run to Harbor Freight with the latest batch of coupons, picked up this 18v cordless 3/8 drill/driver for $17, used the 25% coupon to get an extra battery for $10. Looks like a decent replacement for my dead Sears cordless drill. This new drill is smaller and lighter, I'll bet the
