Handbags   (The sad, the bad and the ugly. Non-productive stuff here.)

The batch of jobs around the house and garden, taken on by me this Summer, represented the first real use in anger of the Lithium-ion battery-power tools which I have bought to replace the Ni-Cad tools I previously have used.

Each use, I find myself saying, "That's more like it!"

What an improvement! Really glad I got them. What crap the Ni-Cad stuff is in comparison.

Always full power. Charge whenever. Swap out batteries that are still partially charged.

Only downside, I hear burglars now are regularly going about equipped with LI-ion devices to overcome locks and other security hardware.
