It's Father's (Fathers) Day .... and Kaylia is very excited. She woke us bright and early with "Father Day"! She doesn't mind that the presents aren't for her.
Yesterday I had a win..... a small goal accomplished. I have a good set of twenty year old Ozito 12 volt power tools and it includes some handy gadgets that Ozito didn't include when they designed the current generation of 12v tools.
The only problem with the old generation of tools is that the batteries have all died from old age! .... and it would cost around $100 each to have new cells put in the old batteries ..... so I have hankered for a way to use the new generation 12v batteries in the old tools.
This is the old battery ........... and the new battery.
So I made an adaptor! ....... and it works perfectly.
It uses the case of an old battery secured to a base that was a charger for a new type battery. I had to modify the base so that it would provide power instead of charging the battery .... but the result is that I can now power my old tools and have a supply of new batteries.
You might enjoy this......
