The battery I got still works good, just lookin for a spare.
If I find a "bad" battery, I might try that.
Same thrift store, found a Lynxx leaf blower WITH THE BATTERY. :love:
Blower is toast, but a good battery for $15 is a good deal.
This one:

The one I got is a pile of parts, cause I had to see why it didn't work. Motor insulation is a bit "melty" and the rear bearing fell out in about 30 pieces.

I might go through my junk, and see if I have a compatible bearing, But I have to do that before i forget how the puzzle goes back together. :LOL:

No idea if I got took on this deal or not - $30 at the thrifto, seems like a legit Craftsman tool box from the Sears era (my dad's got one similar). Gotta clean the paint a little, I'll hit the hinges and slides with some oil or something, and then I'll be able to get some tray liners and use this as a little more permanent storage for my hand tools.

If everything works, It's a pretty good deal, IMO

Maybe I'll paint it blue and stencil this on the front instead:
