At best,a lesson for the NEXT purchase.

Holy Toledo Tools! It's NOT, as you claim, "at best a lesson for the NEXT
purchase." Given the OP's original information, of COURSE he can take the
tool back if he has retained his receipt. Based on when he said he bought
it, he's certainly eligible for a refund from a place that we both know has
a generous refund policy. Based on his originally wanting a corded unit, I
think he SHOULD take it back ASAP and get a better tool.

(Especially if he doesn't want to involve himself in a technology like
NiCads that have more ways to die than a sequel to "Friday the 13th" or
"Saw.")
