thanks everyone, hoping that the guy that is supposed to take a look at it Monday is a no show so I can put this thing to use.

Hey guys recently started restoring old power and hand tools. So far I haven't gotten any that have significant rust but I'm always on the lookout for items for future projects. I found this beast of a battery charger that should do the trick. I guess my question is, is this thing overkill and...

I only use my tools for home use but I'll occasionally ask to borrow something. The most frequently borrowed item is a trailer for when I pick up a large tool. I think I've borrowed a trailer about 5 times now but from 3 different people. I know I know I need to buy my own and I would have...
