Old dewalt tools

Answered
I have 20-30 drills ,reciprocating saws etc etc. All battery operated. The tool itself still works but the batteries are trash and too expansive to replace what does everyone else do with theirs? I hate throwing away a working tool it’s wasteful but batteries are just too expensive to justify buying them when you can get a whole new drill for $50 more makes no sense to me

    OMG!!! I nearly just cried reading this. Please do not throw out anything. I am trying so hard to start my own shed business. I have not been so successful with my cheaper tools that are all plug in. Plus the time of untangle and unplugging and relogging in. If you would help me by donating those tools, I do know how to fix the batteries. Please call me at 804-396-3588. I will work out some sort of payment plan or shipping plan. At this point what you have there as almost considered trash is the only thing I lack of a successful business. My name is Michael I do hope I hear from you. If you don't want to call I will see if dewalt will contact but im sure they only will if you contact them again first. Thank you!!!!

    I have seen adaptors to use modern batteries online. Mixed reviews !

    I am looking for a Dewalt Angle Grinder - DWE46151 and DeWalt no longer makes this model.

    I have a DW4772T Turbo Diamond Cup Wheel that only fits the DWE46151.

    Please let me know if you have a DWE46151.

    My name is Judy and I am very hopeful that you will respond!  

    I like Michael's idea about donating them.

    DEWALT SHOULD OFFER A TRADE-IN DISCOUNT FOR TOOLS THAT STILL WORK AND IN GREAT CONDITION BUT THE BATTERIES NO LONGER CHARGE -AT LEAST.
    I feel the same way as Wayne and also have some tools barely used but am in the same position when it comes to batteries. I've replaced some tools by buying newer models with newer batteries and have kept some of the older tools but I agree with not being able to justify replacing all the tools with a newer model and the newest batteries either. It seems Dewalt is coming out with new batteries too frequently and must expect the tools to be garbage and not last as long as the tools. You'd think all the money put into making a tool you wouldn't want to just waste it having to replace it. Clearly the batteries cost more than the tools though so if you purchase a few decent new batteries don't invest in the whole tool lineup instead maybe they should let you exchange the tools once you invest in the batteries, kind of like a library loans books. But, I know the way they make their money is buy making sure something breaks or stops working or charging, so you have to invest in a new product. Getting a trade-in discount for your old tools is another program they should consider to cut back on all the wasted tools and money.

    I own tools (3 drills) that all batteries are dead? Is there a program for recycling these tools?
