A few years ago, (not sure when), I was lucky enough to win the give-away prize of a 500 ml bottle of U-Beaut Hard Shellac.

The two worst websites in the known universe are Bunnings and Festool Aust. You need to be a space cadet to navigate them. Their search functions a totally useless.

I know this is an "old" post but it's not 'providence'! The correct term is 'provenance". Another nail in the coffin for the post.:cool:

Yep, probably by as much as 75% I reckon. Can't faffed with that. I'll haunt the local men's shed if they have a flat bed sander.

Which just proves the old saying, " great minds DO think alike".:D

Its either a light-bulb moment OR a moment of madness.

Apparently, C12 drills manufactured prior to 2008 won't accept a lithium battery. Mine was manufactured in 2006. Seems I'm stuck with NiMH. At least 3rd party batteries of this type are relatively...

Interesting. I threw a perfectly good 18v DeWalt NmH drill in the bin because all the batteries were dead and they were too expensive to replace. Damn! :(Guess I'll rob a bank and buy some Lithiums...

This is probably a REALLY stoopid question but does anyone know why I can't replace a dead NmH battery with a Lithium battery for my Festool C12 drill?
Thanks

Derek et al are correct regarding the UV film.
On closer inspection (I have barely legal eyesight) I see that the original UV film is in poor shape - like its peeled off in places.
This suggests...

Hey Derek, "Finally, recoat the clear". What's the clear coating you put on?

Some of the YouTubers suggested polishing with a car wax after doing the cleaning job with bi-carb and vinegar. I figured that EEE being a wax polish cutting compound it wouldn't be necessary. I'll...

as can be seen the design of the lock makes attaching with nails or screws unnecessary.

Thanx Robert I Rang them but hadn’t heard of the type of lock I wanted. The guy put me on to A&E Squire in the UK. They couldn’t help. I sent a bunch of pics but they’d never seen the like before. In...

Thanks for any advice.
