That link did not lead to a photo but if both tines on the plug are the
same size, then it does not matter.

Jim-

B&D makes a lot of different cordless drills. Mine has a PS1MVC
Multi-Voltage NiCd Charger, 8.4 up to 14.4V.

Its power cord has a Neutral "wide prong" wire with a ridge, and a hot
"narrow prong" wire that is smooth. The Neutral is connected to the
corner of the circuit board. The hot is connected about a half inch
away next to a soldered-in ceramic fuse.

Even if yours is a different model, this configuration may tell you what
you need to know.

I doubt they manufacture much of anything in their own factories any
more. They just slap their elegantly designed labels on cheap stuff
built by contract manufacturers, nearly all in China.

They, like a lot of other "old school" companies have become nothing
but brand marketing outfits capitalizing on long term memories of when
they used to design and build top notch stuff back in the day.
