        Trust me it was real hard. I had a bunch of work to do and for two nights did not get to bed until after midnight.

          You shouldn't be on the computer today, then. You should be out making like a woodpecker on your fence. πŸ˜„

            But it was break time with a glass of ice water in my other hand. It topped out at 98 before the skies let loose and our house, then later on the road my truck, almost got hit by lightning. 😲

              Wow!. Well then I don't blame you. Glad you didn't get hit. Hopefully there was no damage.

                Nope, no damage other than a paranoid 10 year old now πŸ˜„
                When I was a young'n living in Plano, TX our house did get hit by lightning. The chimney exploded sending shards of brick up to 3 blocks away. Our old electric organ got fried, some funky metallic wallpaper we had in the hall bathroom had new streaks all over it and the doorbell button disappeared. We were at church when it happened.

                    So an update. I love this drill. I was putting together some furniture tonight and needed the right angle attachment, worked brilliantly. πŸ‘

                    Also, during halftime of the seriously depressing Tennessee LSU game I was watching the end of a "This Old House" and beginning of an "Ask This Old House" episodes and in both Tom Silva was using his Festool C12 and T15 drills. And odd enough the end of the TOH episode he was installing a new Newel Post and the beginning of the ATOH he was fixing an old one. πŸ˜„

                          Didnt read the entire thread but if you have some minor electronics experience you can purchase individual cells and rebuild your battery pack. Most often this is FAR cheaper than purchasing a new pack or drill.

                          If you have moderate to good experience in it, you can find cells with a much higher capacity than the originals and extend the battery life by a large amount.

                          This is something I have done with laptop batteries in the past. What was a 150 dollar battery pack cost a friend of mine 45 dollars and about an hour of my time.
