Sorry Jason. I've had to make a decision. Hard in this case for two reasons. I hate waste and the items in question were given as gifts. I place great value on gifts and try to treasure them. But, in this case, they are now useless. I have two B&D 12V Firestorm drills. One has a sander attachment and a jig saw also. A total of four batteries and two chargers. Plus, two (completely useless) carry cases. I really like the drills and the 12V met most of my needs. Two of the batteries are still working, sorta. But the chargers are both bad. I see quite a bit of B&D equipment on eBay with the comment that the chargers offered are bad. Cost of rebuilding the chargers and batteries exceeds what I consider feasible. I've come to the conclusion that I must dump these, otherwise, good drills and buy a new replacement. Vance Packard....where are you when we really need you? My replacement will probably be a 14V DeWalt based on the poll done here. Downside with the DeWalt is exorbitant price of extra batteries. I do like having a back-up.
Not sure what I'll do with this set. Maybe offer on eBay.
