Those too Harry! What others want I end up wanting. This is why we ask this.

Jeremy, its easy to get a match wall wart type of converter and hook it up to your base. Nothing to it, usually.

The thing that slides has the same exact technology as any other charger. The reason for the individualized chargers is to make the batteries exclusive to a brand. What's inside the charger is just a wall wart of one shape or another. The port for the battery is what makes it a match to that company's battery. You've got two dead ones... break one open and get the specs off the label of the transformer inside. You could replace both of the insides for very little. I have one transformer/wall wart/charger that came with a dial to select voltage, and sixteen plugs to choose from. It matches everything in terms of spec, but you still need the B&W plastic to engage the battery, so save that and the contacts.

Cordless drill? I thought young guys like you still did things the Amish way?

A spray booth would be good.

I can't paint in the fall or winter as I need a spray booth. My wife has a type of epilepsy and it sets her off.

I had to buy a tiny belt sander for the track today. Little booger, operates with one hand. I thought it would be just right for the swelled joints, but after working all afternoon on it, I'm more or less where I was. But I have a nifty little belt sander to put on the shelf!
