I need your wisdom again, folks. Who makes this Coleman drill?
My son was apparently given a Coleman brand 19.2 volt cordless hammer drill a year ago for Christmas. I saw it today sitting on his workbench, and asked him about it. He said that it was "no good," 'cause he doesn't have the charger for it. I asked him more about that, and he said it was a gift from friends, but that he had delayed opening the package for quite a while after the holidays. When he did finally get open the box and tried to charge it, the charger cord did not fit the hole in the battery-charging saddle. Hmmm...
My son is not "mechanically inclined," as they say, so I tended to doubt him. I asked to see the charger, but he said doesn't even know where it is anymore. He didn't bother to keep track of it, because it DEFINITELY did not fit. I asked why he did not return it to the store, or ask the people who gave it to him to do so. He replied that the gift-givers could not find a receipt, and simply could not remember which store they had bought it in. Hmmm, again!
So, apparently, he was just going to let it lie there, useless. The dadburn BONEHEAD!
I grabbed it up, and stuck it in my car to see if I could do anything with it. (I know, I know...I should just let the silly kid do without... But then he would have to come over and borrow mine!)
I found some brand new drills just like it listed online for $119. I'm sure it can be found cheaper, but the point is that it is too expensive to just throw away. So I checked for a charger on eBay, but there must be two different Coleman-branded 19.2 chargers out there... One that I found has a differently-shaped battery-charger saddle than this one. Following is a pic of the label on the 19.2 NiCad battery.
So now I am hoping that if I can find out who the mfr is, I may be able to buy the little wall charger unit for it. Any other ideas, suggestions, etc?
