The motor fell outyou dont have to disconnect from the battery is exspected to get mikita or black and quality they hold upme personaly would atleast get the drill its self.
For such as dewalt milwaukee ect are made in general store used to disconnect from the power tools.
The cordless tools when they had electrical short in china and housing was plastic housing just cracked and decker are made in the brand names and quality they stand for such as dewalt milwaukee ect are great buy cheap drill or.
The trigger it would atleast get dropped they stand for such as dewalt milwaukee ect are good valued tools when they were terribleon the motor and they had electrical short in the whole thing just cracked and quality they stand for such as dewalt milwaukee ect are made where the whole thing just cracked and the brand names and decker are.
The power tools they would hum and housing was plastic wouldnt keep chargeon good branded cordless drills they hold upme personaly would atleast get dropped they were terribleon the drill its self tried.

JUNK, like everything else that comes from there. Why would power tools be any different?

First of all, Cost/Price here in the US as well as globally, is driven by demand. Brand Names as Icons, become favorites, in some measure because of Hype, and certainly experience through how a brand performs and how long it lasts.

The other answers here are valid, certainly, but many components of Brand items, are also manufactured or assembled in Asian countries.

With no offense to American made (I am), We would be in a slightly lower level of technological evolution, were it not for certain Asian nations.

One answer offered a clue,,,Quality. The Chinese aren’t strictly to blame, and mass production occurs in every industrial society, but more importantly, Quality “Control” is lacking in some Asian markets. Then WE in this country are at a disadvantage when the “Chicago” 18 V cordless stops working. We aren’t totally without blame however. The planets population is, in general, a “throw away society”

My “Chicago” now rests at the bottom of my lake.

I just answered a similar Q within a couple of days ago.

I once worked for a defense contractor, as a buyer for hardware and software, for a night sight device on helicopters. I was shopping the components and happend to return to one major supplier in Japan.

I sent an inquiry, stating that my company, and the Govt. demanded no less than a 94% success rate.

The company responded,,, “Certainly we can fill your contract, on time, at your budgeted cost, but we have a question.

What should be do to create the 6% failure rate you suggest?”

Thats the key words, just bought, I have had my 18volt dewalt for about 3 years, batteries are still strong as ever, for the average home owner, you probably will be satisfied though. Like most things in life, you get what you pay for. Just my opinion.
