Your better off buying a new drill. I tried to replace a battery for my craftman drill and they told me it was $70 to replace. I bought the drill for $90.

Buy a new drill and see if someone makes a metal pull start for the mower.

Re: dayum craftsman products
as a contractor I'd recommend getting a real drill like a dewalt or milwaukee. Craftsman makes fine hand tools but makes crappy power tools. Also, who needs a lawn mower, pave the whole damn yard!

Maybe but unless you get a battery powered one that damn cord is a biatch after the third pass.

A true Engineer can work around the cord without it being a problem


...and no I am not a true engineer or even any kind of engineer just a jack ass, so if I can do it anyone can.

Buy a Dewalt drill and whatever kind of lawn mower they carry at Costco. If and when the battery dies, no matter how long it takes, you can bring it back and get a whole new drill. Same goes for the lawn mower. Costco's return policy is all but non-existent. You can bring ANYTHING back!

Hell no man. A true mechanical engineer wants a MACHINE, not a couple of magnets and some electrified wire! Either that, or one of those robot ones that cuts the grass automatically. (a group did that as their final project when I was in college)

Besides, I pour race gas in mine so I feel like I'm at the track.

I got a Dewalt cordless screwdriver. One of the best things for fixing little stuff around the house that I ever got! Made hanging blinds a breeze! I just got attachments so I can use sockets with it now,too.
I have a black & decker corded drill and it drives me nuts. Next on the powertool list is a good cordless drill, probably a Dewalt!
