Dead drill, part two

[steven c newman]

Had a dead, zero charge 6volt Makita drill, and needed a charger for it. Radio Shack wanted $31 +tax for one they said would work.


Thought about it for awhile, and when out on a rust hunt or two. Found one good site, lots of power tools. Inside on box sat a 6 volt B&D WITH charger! And, it was only $5 !

Took the prize home, plugged the charger into the Makita, and it not only fit, it was even charging the Makita up!

Now, instaed of changing batteries, I can just change drills. $31 at Radio Shack??

Are you saying you found an old used tool that costs less than a new tool?

Yup! Now I have two 6 volt drills, and a charger to charge them up. Went from the dead drill ( found in an old closet) and no charger, to two drills, and a charger, and it only cost me $5...
