I agree and your choice Steve. Description is in the subject. Assume most
people who buy anything and know what Thanksgiving is know what Black
Friday is. IMO, PART of determining whether to click on a link is who
posted it. I don't think "stranger" quite fits my profile in this NG.

Again, as always, your choice.

Stranger for lack of a better word. Guess I don't have the "fantastic
vocabulary" credited for. Not sure what that was all about. Doesn't
matter.

I initially thought it was SPAM until I noticed it was you.

Then I was going to click it, but since it's for Lowe's Mexican Hardware, I
decided not to.

**** Lowe's. This is America, we speak English here. Enabling individuals
who refuse to assimilate into our culture, the most basic expression of
which is a common language, is a culturally destuctive act, and I will not
give any form of support to them.

That goes to say you should never click on any link provided by anyone.
The poster may be spoofing and even if a description is provided a
spoofer would not stop short of lying.

Be safe. Pull the plug and jam all the usb ports so no one can insert a
usb drive, hammer some door shims in the cd/dvd drives.

Sure spoofing happens. Probability depends on the arena. Another "PART of
determining whether to click on a link".

Paranoid much? In less time than it would have taken to type that huffy
response you could have clicked on the link and seen a Lowe's ad.

Or perhaps gotten a virus. A woman friend got an email the other day
from DHL, advising her of a shipment that was to be delivered. Clicked
the link and got nailed. There's a bit of a difference between paranoia
and common sense.

That's why those with common sense not only avoid dodgy links, but also have
anti-malware programs installed.

Of these, there are many free ones that do an excellent job (Avast, Avira,
Microsoft Security Essentials) and commercial ones for not much money. Two
commercial products, however, while they do a good job, demote your computer
to a slow-moving brick (McAffee and Norton).

Use Firefox and NoScript. Anyone visiting an unfamiliar link with
Javascript enabled is taking a big gamble. Driver sites, ringtone sites,
lyric sites, etc. are famous for drive-by downloads using Javascript. I
always put the URL of a recommended site into Google first to see if it
comes back with "This site may harm your computer."

Time to get a new DeWalt cordless drill!

Maybe I'll put a cord and a cigarette lighter plug on the 15+ year old
12 volt Milwaukee and keep it in the van.

I've planned, for years, to put a lighter plug on a 12 volt drill.
Never quite got around to it. Please let us know how it works. If the
plug and socket provide enough amperage to be useful. I figure on some
jobs I can run a drill off a battery jumper pack. Not totally
cordless, but would be OK for some remote applications.

Works fine for my 9V DeWalts. I even run them off 12V 7AH and 3AH UPS
batteries. Plenty of torque, more than the original batteries since I'm
technically 'overvolting' but since it has a variable speed trigger, I never
really run it flat out. Much cheaper than buying a rebuilt pack and the
smaller 3AH batteries are about the same size as the original pack. I broke
open the old dead pack, pulled the connector off it and attached it to the
battery with strapping tape. Not very elegant looking, but much, much
cheaper than a rebuilt pack.

I never did, either. That's why I began using UPS gel cell batteries
instead of rebuilding or replacing the DeWalt drill packs. I got the
original two drills and 4 total battery packs on sale at Wal-mart for $50
but the cost of a single replacement battery pack was nearly $40. Not
acceptable. All four packs quickly failed (poor design - center cell always
failed first from overheating) so the drills had plenty of life left to
them.

So I took some 12VDC AGM 7AH and 3AH batteries

http://www.zbattery.com/b-b-12v-7ah-...d-acid-battery

($10 to $20 bucks each if you look around, $50 if you don't) and connected
them to the proprietary connector I removed from the dead battery packs
using slide on quick disconnects. When they run low, I attach them to a $10
gel cel float charger. After three NiCad DIY pack rebuilds and one very
impressive short-circuit meltdown, I abandoned pack rebuilds and switched to
gel cell lead-acid rechargeables.

Of course, it only works well on 9 to 12VDC powered drills . . .

Bobby G.

Thanks. That's the kind of real life experience that counts. How do
you charge the 12v-7ah cell?
