Piece of S***. I recently, very recently, purchased a Black & Decker hedge trimmer powered by the PS130 FireStorm Battery. After using the tool only once I was unable to get the battery to recharge. When I attempted to find a replacement Black & Decker battery I was told by the local dealer that Black & Decker no longer shipped that item to stores and the only place where this battery could be purchased was over the internet.^M

Well guess what, the DeWalt DC9071 rechargeable battery in the DeWalt DW9216 dual charger does just fine in the Black & Decker hedge trimmer. In fact, since it works and is readily available at the local hardware store, it is far superior to the Piece of S*** 130 by Black & Decker.^M

Had I to do it over, I'd just avoid the Black & Decker PS130 system entirely and instead go with something with either an engine or a cord.
The drill works ok but the batteries die very fast.
I bought 4 of these drills - two for me and two for friends.
All batteries get tired quickly with usage and they die quickly ( in that they no longer hold a charge at all ). A new battery costs $35 and I only paid $45 for the complete drill/charger/bits so buying new batteries seems like a waste. I bought the Dewalt drill ($180) which came with two batteries and _really_ like it. It charges fully in 1 hour has _lots_ of power and the batteries last quite a while.
