The product, in the report: Craftsman Nextec 12v Hammerhead Auto Hammer Right Angle Impact Driver
I had a Sears Craftsman battery powered hammer laying on my work bench. I had not used it for several months and it was not in the charger. The hammer spontaneously ignited scorching my work bench. My brother was at home at the time, smelled smoke and traced it to the basement. He removed the tool from the basement and watered down the work bench. If he had not been at home or if he had gone to bed I would have lost house and probably my brother.
