That's gotta be a bargain. I paid more than that for 1 battery for my
old Craftsman. A cheap,
errrrr "conservative" friend brough me the drill and 2 batteries and
charger to see if I could
repair it - with proviso he didn't want to spend any money on it. I
said, "nope, can't be done"
and traded him out of it for a set of pin gages. The pin gages hadn't
cost me anything, so figured
I might be ahead in the deal. It is an industrial quality drill set. I
had to replace the
batteries and charger for around 100 bux.



That's the same price I bought mine for about three months ago. At
that time a spare battery was a dollar less than the drill on sale, so I
bought two drills so I would have a spare charger, too. I find it very
handy to have both drills charged & ready with different bits. It saves
me some time, and a lot of pain on most jobs.

I have four Makita electric hand grinders for just such a reason. Disk,
brush, sander and paddle sander. A RPITA to have to change heads
frequently.
