Don't know about the refiles, but it seems that youcan get a new
drill, charger and 2 batteries for the same price or less than 2
batteries.



Yup , and I'm considering buyiong another one just like this one for that
very reason .

I have some 10 year old cordless Bosch tools ( a 5-piece set ). I
have corded tools to mix paint, mortar, etc. Usually heavy demands.

I bought the Rockwell 3Rill for small jobs ($99.99 for three equal
payments) around the house - not the complete kit as I have tons of
bits, drivers, etc. They fit the chuck.

It would cost me ~$160 to rebuild the Bosch (3) batteries. It was
simple common sense to buy the Rockwell 12.V. For me.

- High torque impact driver, dual-speed VSR drill & screwdriver
- Works in tight spaces & awkward angles where others can't
- Screwdriver-mode features 22 clutch settings
- Utilizes quick-change and traditional bits
- Includes (2) 12V LithiumTech batteries for lasting performance

And impact mode.

Batteries are free for the life of the tool. Buy online get an extra
year warranty for the tool.

The set is temporally sold out :-\
