Hi Fellow Woodies
Just a tip that will save you Dollars more money for tools timber etc. The second battry for my Purelite shield have just about died so rather than fork out the price of $99 for newone I pulled the package holding battries open and armed with the information inside eg 3x 1.2 850ma battries soldered to socket. The same three battries are sold in dick Smith or Tandy for mobile phones for $25 so all I have to do is cut of the existing connection and change to the on on the old set or Dick Smiths have the right connection. result is new battry for one quater of the price thats $75 to spend on new P&N bowl gouge .
Cheers Tony
