My beef with them is that new packs list at $79.99 (Canada) while
a new 12v drill which comes with two packs is $159.99. This means
that Dewalt/B&D consider the drill disposable, encouraging people
to toss them in the landfull rather than replace the batteries. I'm sure
I will be able to rebuild the packs for less than 1/2 that, but it leaves
a bad taste...

why do people expect low volume goods to sell at the same prices pro
rate as mass market goods? No use blaming B&D for the realities of
business.
