I tend to treat all tools as disposable, particularly those with batteries, as when the battery pack dies in 5 years, they will have moved on to some newer / better battery that will not fit the older tool. I also think we tend to remember the good old made in america days as better than they really were, just look at the awful quality of steel used on screws up through the 1960's and how easy it was to twist the head off a screw, now ask yourself when was the last time you twisted a head off a screw on a automobile, or other quality piece of equipment (tractors, etc.), not on disposable appliances.
