To be fair, I think I've only had that one box that leaked. I do recharge
alkaline primary use cells, and some will leak if recharged. That doesn't
count.

Sounds like your Excelite tools were first rate.

burr down? I also had a full pack of AA batteries (alkalines) from HF leak
in the box. My HF electric plug in impact wrench, the switch is flaky, it
loosens but doesn't tighten.


I bought a plastic pack of those about two years ago, and have nine
left. I use them in wireless mice that are on 16 hours a day.


My Dad had a set of Excelite, and they were really good.


I still have one of the original Xcelite99SM roll up tool sets that I
was give on my birthday in 1974, by the other engineer at the Military
TV station we worked at. He laughed and said, that he had watched me
fix everything with nothing for a year, and that I was going home with
some decent tools. The only tools that wore out were the two reamers.
I had to replace a few others that disappeared when my back was turned.
I carried that set on service calls, and used it on my bench for several
decades.
