Hi all,

On recommendation from y'all, I sent several
of my worn-out power tool batteries to PrimeCell
for rebuilding.
http://www.primecell.com/

I had occasion to test one yesterday.
Mounted a wire wheel to my drill motor so I could
clean up the outside of some copper pipe.

Dayum. Lots of power and it just kept going and
going. I completed a 'three battery' job on just
one battery charge, and it still had plenty of power left.
With tax and shipping, each cost about $28 to rebuild.

I could not be happier!

I have contemplated that.
But then I can buy a new HF 19.2V with two batteries for $20.

But the amphours on those HF suck most likely. I bought an 18V craftsman
drill a few years ago.

Whatever FOR? (LJ, who learned his painful and bloody lesson on
Crapsman in the late 70s and hasn't been back since, except to replace
broken tools, when he can get them to honor the warranty.)

Because it was cheap on the clearance shelf and figured an 18v would work
better than my 14.4 Dewalt for the jacks. Nope.

My fave old saying is "If it has tits, tires, or a Crapsman logo,
you're gonna have trouble with it."

A striking fact of the last two years of financial trouble is how
accountability has differed in the public and private spheres. On
Wall Street and across the country, decades-old firms have failed,
fortunes have vanished, and some former captains of finance face
jail or fines. In Washington, meanwhile, most regulators and Members
of Congress remain on the job, often with enhanced power.
