Probably not super relevant for OPE usage, but a whole bunch of specialty European tool brands have developed their new tools to work with Metabo style batteries. It is called the Cordless Alliance System. 32 brands at present. I found out about it when we bought a Gesipa cordless riveter at...

Uteload of wood from a mate who was going to take it to the tip. Some is a bit rotten, and random lengths, but it was free so why not.

I use this stuff (since reading some of @rogue60 posts about the castrol mineral oil). Far cheaper than oil from a mower shop. Haven't had any issues so far. https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/castrol-castrol-activ-2t-motorcycle-oil-4-litre/4447.html

Mazda BT50. Takes about 2-2.5 cubes

Metabo mitre saw from work. It cuts aluminium all day. A bit too much swarf inside and it shorted out, flame out the side. Will need some new parts.

Probably been done before, but i hooked up a compressed air line to some 1/4 copper tube on my tecomec super jolly, teeth are cool to the touch even after fixing a rocked chain. Makes it almost idiot proof.

Made a really basic chain vise. 2 1/4 x 5/8 Flat bar and some bolts.
