Would certainly agree with that. Bought a PC cordless drill in 1999
(Pentair era). Nice drill, but at about 1 to 1 1/2 years old, I wound up
shaking plastic parts out of it (not really sure what they were a part of,
I think they were part of a guide for the forward/reverse switch). This
was for a drill that had never been dropped nor abused in any way. That
was the reason I decided not to replace the batteries when they went, but
bought a Milwaukee to replace it. The difference in quality between the
two drills is staggering and apparent. It's just so obvious which one was
"value-engineered" and which one was engineered for value.

I have a friend that bought a PC cordless drill. Parts fell out of it
also... He went back to Craftsman. LOL

I did however buy another PC Speed Bloc last week, my old one pooped out
after only 16 years.
