GP Slot Machine
For those who own this niffty tool in the cordless version, have you experience that the battery draining very fast?, I charged mine up and I can't get through a session without the batteries dying on me, I bought it sometime this past summer, do you think I got a lemon?

RE: GP Slot Machine
I tossed mine for the same reason. And if I remember right it was kind of weak in the power dept. too. Now I use one with a cord. One of the best gadgets ever made for r/c.

RE: GP Slot Machine
I quit using cordless tools a long time ago for this reason, get 1/2 way into a job and POOF the batteries are dead. I have heard others complain about the cordless slotter dying real quick so yours sounds normal.[

RE: GP Slot Machine
I have the same problem with mine. I love it and won't even consider cutting slots any other way, but I sure do get tired of charging the battery. I wanted the corded version, but picked this cordless one up off EBay at a price I couldn't turn down. OH, well--------Max

RE: GP Slot Machine
Got mine from TH, sent it back. I barely got through hinging an elevator before it gave out on me. Swapped it for the corded version, a lot better....
