well welcome back to Steve Robb reviews these guys got Milwaukee tools m12 batteries let's
take a look at some tools here and see where's the problem here see if you can
spot this oh that's no good that won't stand up at all will it okay take that back to the
out put this back in all them power tools will stand up nice and easy and they're quite hard
to actually tip over no you can see the bottom shape of this it's not really good to hold up
in a lot of places I find if I've got like some uneven ground especially if I'm working outside
of my camp you trying to put this down on any grass or anything that's not completely level
well away it goes so I've solved that problem and I'm gonna show you how I did it right now
okay so you've seen what I got so far all I did was just get my router and I just got this little
small little bit on there just to take it out a quarter of an inch deep here we are here as you
can see all I've done really is just I just traced out the battery shape itself and just routed it
out it was quite easy and it's a quarter inch deep I just sanded it lately and now what I'm
gonna do is just gonna use some hot glue from a regular glue gun these guys can use any kind of
glue you want really doesn't really matter but what I'm gonna do next is I'm gonna put three
holes in the bottom of this just about maybe a quarter of an inch deep at the most just so that
when I pour the hot glue in there set the battery in it'll hold it in there a little bit better and
I what I like about the hot glue is it'll never be anything that's really that permanent anyways if
you ever wanted to take it apart you could take it apart so let's get to it and let's glue this
thing in so let's just take a look at the two batteries here and you can obviously see this
one here and this one like they're quite different and this one here is quite a bit more stable and
I prefer these the only problem is they're almost twice the price and a lot of times I really don't
need the capacity of the battery I just want the thing to stand up and be stable so what
kind of ghoul my using there guys just regular cheap all-purpose hot glue gun glue and it does
say on the back that it is for wood and plastics and that kind of stuff and I just got like just a
cheap glue gun like a ten dollar black and decker glue gun so let's glue it all down here let's take
a look okay you can see that three holes I got in there and that's just what the glue makes it
more stable and we'll just guys I just put it in here liberally not you know gotta go crazy
I mean you're not holding down a tank or anything right that's about it right there take the battery
just plop it in there and it's probably gonna lose out a bit like you can see there and then
I can just cut down off and it cools down let's come back when when it's cooled down well here we
go we got er all done it's quite easy and I know you can see I just kind of cut off you know some
of the excess hot glue that was you know just going around the sides guys it's just a hunk of
pine very cheap and I think this is a good a good little hack so let's just take a look at before
here's the before or guys that this won't stand up a bit right and we're just snapping a battery
there you go guys this very simple very easy to make and I figured this cost me nothing so
they just had some scrap pine just sitting around and a nice little project took me about maybe ten
minutes to make one of these and now I'm set when I take this up north and I'm gonna put it down in
a piece of grass or a little bit of an angle there at least this will stand up now so I hope you like
this a little bit of a hack thanks for joining me here today if you haven't seen this channel before
