Hi all,
On recommendation from y'all, I sent several
of my worn-out power tool batteries to PrimeCell
for rebuilding.

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.
Yup. I have a collection of Makita drills and a
small saw that use these batteries. I just
couldn't bring myself to toss them.
