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. I use it to raise and lower the jacks on the 1400#
truck camper. The Craftsman on a good day, might raise and lower the unit
with the use of both batteries. The Dewalt, will raise and lower and raise
again with 1 battery.
at least before the batteries started dying.
