Car battery Charger. Not sure why it needs to be this big and heavy.

I think I recall reading somewhere that these big ones do a better job at desulfating batteries... Some guy on YouTube...

I have at least three battery tenders (not fit for the purpose), one automatic charger that’s 110volts.

Dinosaur is what’s readily available in the market. It’ll work until I swing by UK next year and buy a proper automated one.

Re: Let's Encourage DIY: Operation Show Your DIY Tools. by TraceyMiller:
I feel so sad that I can't show you my garage full of instruments... I went with my family for a vacation to my parents' house and I'm about to stay a week there, mb after that I will post a few photos with it because I hava a lot of cool instruments for almost every type of work, I can call it royal collection haha. All those instruments I bought with the help of my dad and Power Tool Mentor which contains a lot of info about any instrument you need. Last time I needed a brushless hammer drill because my daughter started to practice woodworking and that was quite hard and uncomfortable to use until I didn't read the normal instruction about how to use it.

Torque wrench. One of my latest additions.
Please how did you calibrate this wrench?
Re: Let's Encourage DIY: Operation Show Your DIY Tools. by EgunMogaji2: 10:29am On May 23, 2021
Repairing the starter in my BMW R1100R. Same starter used in some Renault vehicles �

I use my tools. They look clean and are clean because I clean them after each use. I also have “no wrenching just cleaning weekends” cool

Autozone is your friend.

This shows clearly there is stiil a huge opportunity in the parts and hardware business in different parts of Nigeria.

I was thinking of having a business like tractor supply, home depot, or autozone, but duty rate over 5% makes the business model unaatractive for genuine parts

Comes calibrated. Includes a calibration certificate. That said, there are YouTube DIY calibration videos.

That’s a Bench Drill. It’ll drill straight dead on holes when accuracy is paramount.
