- After knocking Sears and not purchaseing one of their compressors...............
-
- Bought one of Sears Best battery drills several years ago. Used it hard, bounced
- and was generally happy with it. Should have had an extra battery though. Any
- hoooo, the charger began boiling my battery. Attempted to charge it twice and
- it would quickly lose it's charge.
-
- Called Sears - What's a new battery? About $80. Heck, that's what I paid for the
- silly thing. Well how about the battery charger? Told them the story. Well it
- seems there was a recall on a model because the charger was boiling the battery.
- What's the model number. Sortly after...... Your a winner of one of you
- discontinued recall models. Call our 800 parts and have them take care of ya.
-
- Call 800parts. Well the charger is $40 and the battery $39.95. Well parts
- that's not quite right. this is a recall item, because it was a lemon. > Call
- your local Sears where you bought it. Well, seeing as I had to get some work
- done I took it own down. Manager, yea, your the one I spoke with a while ago.
- Well parts said they couldn't do anything and bring it down to you. Manager
- says to his salesman... Get this man our top of the line Sears Best. He paid
- $100 for this (I only paid $80 on sale). Give him a replacement.
-
- Bingo!!! :+) Now my friend (girl) is getting all excited & I'm trying to tell
- her to shut up, before they change their minds. So I got a chuckless top-o-de-
- line SEARS BEST with extra screw bits, etc, etc..
-
- I'm HAPPY & Sears is ok by me. (today) :-)
