Companies that allow others to put their name on inferior products are asking for trouble (duh).
I recently needed a drill, the batteries in the old one failed, and I saw one at Walmart for $16. It had a Ni-Cd battery, but OK, I use one about twice a year. So I got it, cheaper than new batteries, works "fine", once, haven't needed it since. At least I know it's a crap drill. Then the wife bought batteries for the old one, which was our son's. He did a ton of work on cars back in the day, like engine swaps and so forth, he had some nice tools, all gone now, he's the one in SF.
He wanted to come visit us this month. He's a lot of fun to be out and about with, has that facility to make friends in 10 seconds.
