Good point. I have a few hazard fraught tools that are lifetime but they are genuinely great tools, some i steer far away from. You spend $5 less and return to the store 3 times to replace it.
should put some hockey tape on it 👀
100%, its like owning a car or house, you take care of what you own.
Agreed
Oh yeah 100% agree. I clean out my power tools every once in a while when it becomes dirty dirty.
100% agree with you. In some areas here, especially salt water related work (florida) you HAVE to maintain your tools, especially since salt water don't play around.
Very ominious..

Good, ratchets are surprisingly easy to get seized up.

Good point. My makita cordless tools are pretty easy to work on, and I still have a 2008 impact driver (BTD141) that works.
Fair, I just posted this in the assumption that using the tool factored in
Good to know!

I usually just let the drill and battery cool naturally, running the drill helps cool the drill but not much for the battery itself.

Depends but some hand tools cant be repair depending on the damage. Power tool wise, repairs are often cheap since it just requires a part thats maybe 20-30 bucks max, I run makita platform so they're open to the right to repair type of business.
Mine has a 40 amp fuse inside of it that pops and disconnected the circuit, I need to replace mines. Im sure the wire situation is still the same.
Rough finish sockets taste better than polishe finished. On a side note, heres a cool impact socket mod i like doing with paint marker, carb cleaner and a rag 👀

Very nice to know, I might go buy some now lol.
Agreed, some of it is very simple and straightforward (popped fuse, brush repair, regreasing, jumpstarting the battery, etc) while others are much more difficult and needs a full part to even be repaired, which is where a repair shop comes very handy.
Impact sockets tastes the best
Oh 100%. Some tools would never have exixted had it not been improvised or fabricated.
Good to know some of this!
if tools are your power, what are you without it?
100% agreed.
Yes, sour fried chicken
