Would you rather have to put in a few drops of oil through a
lubricating hole after every few hours of running your drill and
double the length of time of use without having to replace any parts
or rather not have to bother oiling it and replace a part that may
cost 30% of the price for a new drill every few years?

Replace a part which I have never had to do in the past 15 years or so for
my Makita 12v cordless and is still going strong.

By the time sealed bearings fail so has just about every other moving
part, I have alot of stuff from the 80s thats fine. A Porter Cable rep
told me of big commercial users that junk them after a a time because
just everything is worn out, gears, switches, chuck, bearings, wiring
etc.

I pretty much use my cordless every day. A typical cordless drill/driver
lasts me between 2 and 3 years. Regardless of manufacturer, I've never had
one die due to lack of oil, gear grease maybe, but not oil.

The drills never completely die, but like Ransley said, the switches, gears,
chuck, etc. get so worn out, they become cumbersome to use, and yes, the
batteries won't hold a decent charge anymore. It's only slightly more
expensive to buy a new tool with 2 batteries, than just buying the
batteries.

I don't use my cordless drill, but I use my 3 corded drills and I have
never oiled any of them and they've never worn out a part.

So does Molly have a plan to make drills worse?

I have one of those too. I don't use it except on occasion at home, it's got
no power and it's kinda gawky and awkward, but it does work, and the battery
is fine
