He Fixes Rechargeable Batteries On Power Tools
Mike Kellett, Sublette, Kan.: “When the rechargeable batteries on a power tool go bad, I take the tool apart and solder a coiled cord to the contacts inside the handle. I have a one-way plug in my pickup bed that’s connected to the battery, and I also carry a garden tractor battery with the same plug to make it more portable. A fully charged battery will last for days of hard use. I’ve found that 12, 14, 16, and 18-volt tools all work well on automotive 12-volts.“I use my leaf blower constantly in the shop to dry spills, sweep in hard-to-reach places, clean out combines and tractor cabs, blow dirt off clothing, dry paint and even to discourage stray cats and other varmints that wander into the shop. I also use it to dry out wet boots, and to pull noxious fumes away from me when welding galvanized steel.”
