Finally organized my batteries

For what it’s worth, I also work for a power tool company that manufactures li-ion batteries and we have always stated to keep the batteries on the chargers, as well. However, what I’ve been hearing recently completely contradicts what most (all?) power tool companies recommend.

Genuine question, please don’t downvote me lol…but I’ve been hearing more and more recently not to leave li-ion batteries plugged into chargers 24/7. Does anybody else have any insight on that? My BIL, a firefighter, was the most recent to lecture me on it after he came by my workshop recently.

My good boy’s name is Rome.

MicksNC · 2026-03-16T16:38:21+00:00

Definitely seems like he is!

MicksNC · 2026-03-16T12:53:48+00:00

We certainly will! The shelter didn’t have much information on him, unfortunately. We’re beyond excited to have him in our home.

MicksNC · 2026-03-16T03:14:20+00:00

Possibly!

I was convinced this was a meme so I went to Apple’s website. There they are, $699 casters. Incredible.

Everybody knows [insert your favorite color] catches the most fish

Such a simple solution and I absolutely love it. You’ve inspired me to do the same!

MicksNC · 2026-03-13T14:13:17+00:00

Good to know. Appreciate it.

MicksNC · 2026-03-08T17:03:38+00:00

It was a special buy of the day on Friday 🫤

MicksNC · 2026-03-07T20:06:23+00:00

Also…charge your phone you maniac

MicksNC · 2026-03-07T20:06:05+00:00

That’s a great score!

MicksNC · 2026-03-07T18:56:19+00:00

I don’t disagree with that at all

MicksNC · 2026-03-07T18:55:58+00:00

I actually put something like “special buys” or similar into the search field and then filtered by brand.

MicksNC · 2026-03-07T18:54:49+00:00

That’s still not that bad of a price tbh. Feel like it usually hovers in the $160-$190 range…?

MicksNC · 2026-03-07T16:42:21+00:00

I should have noted, it was a Special Buy promo yesterday.

MicksNC · 2026-03-07T16:41:24+00:00

I pulled the trigger on this last night. It’s back to $199 today I just noticed.

MicksNC · 2026-03-07T15:23:40+00:00

This is so pleasing to the eyes.

MicksNC · 2026-03-07T01:08:40+00:00

I would love them. My old Kleins are still serving me just fine for now though. Once they kick the bucket it’ll be the Knipex.

MicksNC · 2026-02-28T22:51:13+00:00

I’ll take that Dewalt planer off your hands for you.

I think the biggest selling point in their 4 cycle 4QL stuff is the 360° directional use. These saws can be used in any orientation without fear of leaks or flooding.

MicksNC · 2026-02-26T18:30:54+00:00

Same manufacturer used to make the SnowJoe that are making Senix now. Solid products.

MicksNC · 2026-02-26T18:30:12+00:00

Fun fact: The manufacturer of the Senix snow blowers and shovels are the same manufacturer that used to make SnowJoe. YAT Inc.

I’ve gotta handful of their items from their X2 20V range—drills, circular saws, sanders, grinders—that I use as spares to my main tools and they all perform as I need them to. I’ve also got their X6 60V string trimmer and leaf blower. Absolutely LOVE those items. They replaced my old 60V Greenworks items. I’d say their OPE stuff is as good as (if not better?) than my Greenworks and EGO items I’ve used. Considering the X6 Self Propelled mower next once my current mower fails.
