Give these guys a buzz in Ringwood dude https://www.master-instruments.com.au/category/Cordless_Drill_and_Power_Tool/1213 ...

I've bought batteries from them and they've lasted as long as the original ones

If you have a Battery World near you go see them.
They repackaged a few batteries for me.
1/4 the price of buying new and lasted twice as long...

Not in the shed, but did involve getting tools and materials from there

Mine is on a board, and I clamp it to the bench when I need it

Put a new Amaron Pro N70 battery in the Pajero. The OEM one only lasted 2 years. Suppose I was lucky to get that. Plus the original is only a little battery. The tray is big enough for an N70 to fit but the shroud had to be trimmed. Geez she cranks over now. :cheers:

Been hanging on to some really old weathered recycled jarrah boards for years. Finally put them to good use. It breaks my heart seeing old milled timber being wasted.
Record storage unit to match the man cave.

I figured it was time to learn how to do a basic oil and filter change on my vehicles. Both Prado and Triton now done.

Then went through shed, sorted every shelf and worked out exactly what everything was for, and have a list of all current projects and what my next action for each of them is.

Need somewhere to hold record covers when being played. Problem solved. Who said the Hawaiian Guitar Spectacular album was useless.

Knocked up a quick spice rack for the pantry finally. Mrs GrumpyOne has only been asking forever!

Re-purposed some timber from pallets and was going for the relevant look, however she then tells me she wanted it painted white. I don't like to paint, so grumbled through the last bit hahaha
