Hi,

I have a B&D cordless screw driver in perfect condition - and no
intention to replace it. Through poor design and poor storage of the
charging "cradle" the LV lead from the plug / transformer is very
badly frayed and about to come away from the plug. This does not look
like something I can open up and re-solder the wires inside the plug.
Shame, as the charger still works.

Does anyone know of a UK supplier of replacement cradle chargers
or anywhere I can get this re-furbished?

Would buying an equivalent power supply not be cheaper than buying a
complete unit?

I've found thes respond to sawing across the corners with a fine blade,
also alonf the sides - you can see the seam - then levering the case open
with a screwdriver, doing the repair and glueing the case back together.

If it's f'd you've nothing to lose.

Otherwise, like Lurch says, get an equivalent wallwart and nail it on.

If not it's not worth the postage anyway.
