    Anyone tried to repair / replace cells in Bosch 10.8 L-ion?

    Got one that's not very happy - claims to be full when it isn't - and a quick look suggests the pack will pop open and can probably replace whatever the cells are straight off the RS shelf. Anyone tried this before? [have posted this here and not tools as it's equally an electrics issue!]

    Threading conduit with WD40 instead of Tallow

    Anybody else tried using WD40 when threading conduit? its also good for cleaning the threads as well after you have filed the end with a round file (or used your pliers) and cleans away metal dust better than an old rag....also less messy than Tallow :innocent:

    Who tried it first........I have often wondered.

    Have you ever wondered who tried something first, especially something that turned out to be dangerous. Who first ate Pufferfish and found out that it killed you if it wasn't cooked in a certain way. Who discovered that if a Cobra bites you, you die. Who ate all the Mushrooms first to find out...
