no packaging research
The little box of staples was inserted in a bigger box for shipping and after miles of travel the little opened scattering 5000 staples throughout the bigger box making them useless. The most frustrating was the attempt at contacting the shipping to get them resent. After wasting an hour I gave up.

Terrible shipping
The box the staples were in was very flimsy and all the staples fell out. They were loose in the delivery box and all broken up. So many of them will not fit into the gun properly, therefore a waste. I cannot believe Amazon does not do an easy correction to this problem by just wrapping the box with some packaging tape.

NOT WORTH THE SAVINGS
I bought three boxes of these staples thinking it would be a great savings.
After spending half my time pulling out staples that crushed instead on going in the flooring I have decided they are not worth the savings.
These China made staples are undersized to begin with and will not penetrate hard wood flooring like the stanley bostich staples. I will never make the mistake of buying cheap off brand staples again.
I would advise anyone considering purchasing the staples to go back and buy the bostich.

Still haven't learned
Amazon has ignored all these reviews and still poorly package these staples. The staples are in a flimsy cardboard box that was thrown in a padded envelope. The box totally disintegrated and the staples broke apart. If you have time to mess with them, than this is a great deal.

B&D Firestorm Battery
This battery was exactly what I needed. I looked around the i-net and found Amazon had the best price.

Review
The battery seems to be as good as it gets today. Battery technology needs improving. The battery last about one year. That seems adequate.

NOT LABELED FIRE STORM AS SHOWN
I AM NOT SURE IF I RECEIVED THE FIRE STORM OR NOT. I CERTAINLY ORDERED THAT BRAND NAME. I RETAINED THE CARD THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE BATTERIES....THEY HAVE A DESIGNATION OF HPB18. THERE ARE NO WORDS NOR DESIGNATIONS OF FIRE STORM ON THE BRAND VARIETY PACKING SLIP. THUS I WANT TO KNOW JUST EXACTLY WHAT I RECEIVED????

HERB WELDON,

Cannot be charged
There is no problem with shipping. However, the battery itself simply cannot be charged. and it is too much trouble to return as it came in with the plastic wrap. Too bad!

Received the replacement battery for my 18 Volt B&D drill. Seems to charge fast and has plenty of power.
