Sparky-(Admin) 21,924 #1 Posted February 11 Decided I wanted this Dewalt kit, my wife ordered it from Amazon at 9:05am today. And it was dropped off on my porch TODAY at 6:15pm! Incredible! Sears really missed the boat on on-line shopping, they could have been “Amazon”. 4 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 50,561 #5 Posted February 11 Problem is like the other brands they want your first born for those batteries and don't get the cheaper knock offs Sparky. I have seen them blow up in the charger. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 27,247 #6 Posted February 11 I wait for the deals where you basically buy a battery and get the tool for free...! The other option I have is my mower and snow blower are Dewalt 10 ah and 12 ah batteries... interchangeable with all Dewalt hand tools... so I can run them for a loooong time... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or more batteries, that definitely comes in handy. 32 minutes ago, SylvanLakeWH said: I wait for the deals where you basically buy a battery and get the tool for free...!

It is a definite perk that the massive weedwacker batteries fit the drill/impacts too. Your arm gets tired before the battery dies. I’ve got the 1/4 and 1/2 inch impacts, the mini hand skillsaw, the weedwacker, and a drill, all 20V. The three chargers for that stuff, usually have at least 1 battery on one them most of the time.

I used to work for Sears in the mid 00’s. The turnover in my department was insane. I do miss it as well, it definitely had a unique feel to it.

Handy Don 13,266 #11 Posted February 11 Wondering who’ll be the first to post a video of their WH being started up by one of these batteries--and have a charger mounted up, too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OutdoorEnvy 1,730 #16 Posted February 11 I got the same kit at Christmas! I dropped my last impact driver doing garage door repair and it broke. But timing was right for a black Friday deal on this kit. So far so good with it. I miss the Sears days too. They were always at the malls around here and the guys could kill the time in there while the ladies hit every store 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So four batteries and three chargers …so far More batteries than tools will be greatly appreciated when you get wrenching and don't have to stop for a recharge. We have a decent assortment of Ridgid tools. Batteries are constantly being swapped around because BBT can't sit still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beap52 1,142 #23 Posted February 11 SEARS, our parents would take us downtown Kansas CIty when we were kids to buy our school clothes. My favorite part was the fellow selling tamales from a cart on the street. K-Mart, not much of a fan but the one in St Joseph, MO was were I learned about subway type sandwiches and bought my first 410 single shot model shotgun. While batteries have been brought up, I had to replace the battery in wife's Durango. What the world?! TWO batteries! Yep, a normal looking battery and a battery about half the size of lawn tractor battery. The combined cost $450--and I installed them myself in the heated shop where i buy tires and batteries. I told the owner if someone wants him to install a battery in a Durango, tell them to go to Orielly's. They are buried under then front seat. I had read that some vehicles don't like not have a battery providing power all the time so I connected a jump starter to the battery connections under the hood just to be sure didn't mess settings on the car's computer. The Duango is a 2016, we've owned it since 2018 and I believe these were factory batteries. The little battery, I kept for generator at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never got ice cream after, but there was a RadioShack right outside our Sears, just into the mall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
