I bought a 18V (non-lithium) Porter-Cable drill with 2 batteries 1-2 years ago from Lowe's when they were $99 (half-price). It is a large gray drill like Norm uses.
Unfortunately, the charger has died.:wsad: I tried bypassing the blown fuse to no avail. A replacement charger for PC non-lithium batteries is $55, and I don't want to invest that in an identical replacement charger that could easily fail as quickly. Also, I have recently invested in the newer Makita Lithium 18V drill set (the white ones) and a Hitachi 12V mini-drill which really I love, so I really don't need the PC so much anymore.
I am considering trying so sell the drill & batteries, or search for someone who has a used charger.
What would you do? :embaresse
