Every day I look here and wish I lived in a country with Harbor Freight
stores, scrap merchants and used machinery dealers.

It is verge collection in our council area this week & I spied a Hilti
case
in a pile of junk and got my son to haul it out, figuring it would be a
nice
case to store air tools in.

The case contained a 12V Lithiium battery drill, 2 batteries, the charger
and the user manual. Took it home and all seems to test out ok. Drilled a
dozen wall anchors into brickwork no problems.

Somewhere, a mean wife is getting a severe beating for that one...



grin That thought did enter my head! We have a lot of fly in / fly out
mine workers. One might be flying back in this week to a clean & tidy
garage....



I still wish we had better scrap dealers here anyway!

And I wish we could still haul junk out of the County Landfill site
while/after we were dumping things there.
