well I went to a yard sale today and I bought a rigid multi-tool for two
dollars I mean if nothing else the Chargers worth two bucks and it won't
work so I tested the battery the battery charges up hold the charge and is
putting the electricity out apparently this battery has some kind of a
temperature thing that if it gets hot it shuts the battery down and prevents it
from putting power out but that's not the problem and I've looked and looked
and looked I took this thing apart I put some 12 volt right on the motor here the
motor turn so it's not locked up so the problem lies somewhere in the circuitry
and here's the positive and negative right here these two and there's some
kind of circuitry in here well let me show you I'm gonna show you through this
let me see if I can this is my big old old guy magnifying glass here this water
right here goes right here and it's broken off I'm fixing get my soldering
gun out and solder that let me let me see if I can actually show you this
through the through this one
yeah
well I really can't cuz this I got the flashlight on the light on on my camera
here so I'm getting a soldering gun out see if I can fix this up get this door I
bought it for two bucks and uh maybe with a little bit of solder be worth
about 25 or 30 mmm let's give it a try I got the battery plugged in okay I'll put
it back together and show you what it looks like well there's what it looks
like there's it's it came with this bag all the instructions two bucks
one little wire two dollars all right I'm gonna ask 25 bucks for it Home Depot
is getting $100 for this and you can get one on Amazon for 75 so I think 25 bucks
is a fair price and it's even got the original blade on it that's how little
it's been used and I tell ya I did a little reading and these things vibrate
a lot so if these solder joints aren't top-notch they will break off so I put a
big chunk of so it around there I think it'll hold all right
there's my charger and I rented and that's a long story
huh I'll go into that another time it's a long story in it it's a little
aggravating and I give in and I've gone over the other sides and someday I'll
tell you that story not the dark side but oh god what the heck the Town Hall
every year their ham every year we have a yard sale town wide
yard sale it's called main to main trade days
and first couple of years I used to get a spot at the town hall parking lot
and I used to get the same spot it was really nice being there because there
was plenty of parking well then the lady who runs the Town Hall she's not the
mayor but the mayor has a full-time job and he's not there all day so the lady
runs a town hall other than the mayor says they're gonna start reserving
spaces and I said well okay let me reserve a space and she said they're all
gone so knowing that I had set up there two years in a row and so anyway I
didn't do nothing last year I was so mad that screwed me out of my spot that I
didn't even take part in the last year and this year I decided to go into the
town hall office and I said so what does it cost to rent one of them spaces out
there and she said it's free you just got to sign up early enough to get your
spot I said is this too early for next year and she said well no not really I
said well if you would put me down for that spot right in a corner I'd
appreciate it and so all this year I'm going to be gathering up stuff just like
this that I get for next to nothing that I can fix and sell at next year's sale
okay there I told you the story I've gone to the other side I'm over my mat
on and I went ahead and reserved a spot so next year you want to buy some tools
that are in decent shape or repaired come see me
