So what did you buy today

[whitesnake]

Bought a couple pair of new boots off Craigslist, got home and the wanted to try on one, well he ended up wearing them the rest of the night and he likes them. Can't wait till this 14yr olds feet are 10.5 instead of 10's lol.
Also bought an ms311 that was supposedly overheated from a dull chain per the dealer, I haven't looked at it much.
Then bought a 60 gallon Craftsman air compressor. I pulled the compressor so it would fit in the car as we were an hr and 10 min from the house, had a 1/4" to spare .

Before we picked up the compressor I stopped at a gas station to check and see what had been listed since we left the house and saw this . I offered to put her spare on but she refused. If you look close you can see the plug in the sidewall . She put 2 cans of fix a flat in while I was there and used the air 3 times and the level never changed.
I sat there until she was done to see if she'd change her mind, not once did she even look my way, whatever lol.

Nice I like it! Tank looks in great shape! Is that in a Camry? Looks like something I would do lol. Hey fuel isn’t getting any cheaper gotta do what you gotta do!

Man them some diggers! Only way to go. I’m actually gonna be ordering some bar tires for the rear of my zero turn. They’re aged anyway but sick of spinning and sliding around. Seems you do less damage with a more aggressive tire cause you actually have traction. As long as you use a hair of caution that is.

1998 Jonsered 2065. Has no compression and will be receiving a ported OEM 50mm cylinder this winter.

Picked up this 064 off the local marketplace. They sure are some respectable saws.

I purchased beer and ice cream cones after work.
I know, nothing special.

But I also found this Li-Ion battery pack in the battery recycling bin at the supermarket.
There is a good chance that one or more cells are still useable, those that aren't will go back into that bin.
This pack should contain 4 cylindrical 18650 Li-Ion cells, each 3.7Volt/2200mAh

Good find

Good find

I think so too.
I do not have a corresponding device nor charger to check whether the pack is bad or not, as auch I will most likely just salvage any cells that are not dead or dying.

I do have a charger for cylindrical Li-Ion cells, and I use 18650 cells in a LED head light.

I've done product development adding Li-Ion/Polymer to UL listed devices.

One of the easiest ways to get cells back is to do an induvial cell charging using a charger that has a pre-conditioning circuit. Note if induvial cells read under 1.5VDC there is (MOST) likely cell damage all ready. Recommend to recharge when voltage gets to 2.7VDC

I have used this TI eval kit for development (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/BQ24113EVM/679856 ) and to rejuvenate several laptop battery packs to at least partial capacity.

Reading through the eval kit instructions. You will get some good ideas for this.

Good luck with your experiment.

Nothing major, but something I've wanted for awhile, an ultrasonic cleaner. Just a little half gallon unit. Used it to clean a carb and it worked great. Now I'm looking at getting a bigger one.

I have a Nitecore charger which records charge time, knowing the max charge current it is easy math figuring out "dying" cells.

I already have a dozen 18650 cells salvaged from defective laptop battery packs, as such I am used to tinker with Li-Ion cells.

Quality cells with good built in undercharge circuitry will show 0Volt once they bottom out too much.
I experienced some of auch cells to revive to full capacity.
The issue with battery PACKS is that one defective cell can and will take out neighboring cells over time, that is why a defective pack should be inspected as soon as possible to identify and remove dead cells.

Al-ko 3500 15$ It looks so nice that it does not even require cleaning ;-)

Completely clogged air filter caused that fuel is flowing in the engine, tomorrow's second attempt to start

 

[Partner]

It works only on fuel injection, so we disassemble

 

[Partner]

There is the culprit

Yard sale special. Old school Homelite 20 MCS. The guy that was selling it was going to use as a boat mooring if he didn't sell it!

 

[merc_man]

I baught the wrap handle kit for my new saw.

Outside of the p/c, a 281 is exactly the same as a 288. Post away in the 288 thread and if nothing else I'll help with what I can.

Ya, I have a couple 288s and couldn't say no to this one. I post over there.
