Today I acquired...........

[voipio]

I walked past a skip this morning. There's a large pallet truck lying on its side in the bottom. I wish I had the energy and interest to dig it out

Too many other projects to worry about.

Just go back to the pub, and offer a free round to anyone prepared to help you get it out of the skip. Job done!!

Another auction I couldn't resist. I know, I'm a spineless old git.
But,but,but......I really really needed these.

A Milwaukee 8.0 Ah Forge battery

Well it was my birthday yesterday and I was trying to make up my mind on High Output or Forge so took the gamble. Should keep my power hungry saws happy.

A very deep sense of relief at knowing that an irreplaceable crankshaft has been disgorged by Royal Mail to a place of safety.
Much ire, distress, pain, and litigation has been avoided.....

Do they have any more?

This appeared in my garden.

A little light repair work for a friend.
It won't start. It uses the ubiquitous Honda GX270 engine, so shouldn't be too taxing ( )

I should assume so, I purchased them from Ali.

I purchased two first as I wasn't expecting the genuine thing, took 12 days to get to me and I was pleasantly surprised.

They look, behave and charge as absolutely legit, I can't imagine a company to go to that trouble to fake em', so I bought 4 more.

There are 4-5 companies on Ali claiming to sell the genuine thing.

I'd very strongly suspect just a highly accurate copy

Can you post photos of one of your new batteries please? All angles including label. I can compare to 100% authentic m18 batteries I have here. I'm curious myself about the Ali ones

Sure but they are Makita not M18 batteries.

Oops my bad!

Guess you'd have to whip the top off of both genuine original and "believed" genuine new one, then compare the PCBs and cells?

Too much, but that's not important.

A Milwaukee 8.0 Ah Forge battery

Well it was my birthday yesterday and I was trying to make up my mind on High Output or Forge so took the gamble. Should keep my power hungry saws happy.

Interested to hear what you think of the forge battery when you have a chance to use it for a bit. I have alot of Milwaukee tools and all standard 5.0 batteries. May get a high output or forge one soon.
