I have a sprinkler controller on my garage wall with a piece of small conduit hiding the wire. The wire goes through the wall to the outside, and another conduit down that wall. There is this "mystery" fitting that caps it off, and on the outside also keeps water from going down it. I also added...

Time to put the bow on it. :) It only took 7 years. Many other projects were needed for the organization, to clean up bay 2 so I could get a ladder over there. Now all the lights are finished. I also updated previous pictures on this thread since they were on Photobucket. I added a couple of...

I thought I would bring closure to the thread. :-) I found an adapter on eBay that took Bauer 20v batteries to 18v Dewalt. Works pretty well. There was a sale; buy a battery/charger and get the tool for free. They have two sawzall, one brushless and the other not. Of course, the brushless was...

That is when I was tempted the most. What is funny, Lowes had a flash sell on their 14v. When I first saw it, I laughed my head off and would have posted it because I thought the timing was too good. Then I noticed it was 14v. If I was in construction where I used them every day, I would have...

Then the adapters are just mechanical. I was wondering if they had a built-in buck converter, but the current that is involved the price didn't match. Interesting. Does that make us classics? I get cheaper insurance on my Mustang. I wonder if Hagerty has health insurance. :cool:

Good idea. Sometimes it is as much the challenge as it is the money. Don't get me wrong, I love saving money also. :-) One reason I enjoy Vintage Machinery, Cutting Edge Engineering, etc YouTube videos is when they fix something. Keith brazes a tooth back on a gear and machines it back. Or...

Unless I mis-read it say it is fully operational. I would not do it if I saw it was non-functional.

As a general rule, I would not, my question is would they warranty it, and if so, how? As I said, if I could get the case out of it, it would be worth the price even if it does not work. I would do the warranty just to see what they say. :-)

That would be a road trip, it would be tempting if I had some Blues Brothers music. :-)

Has anyone ever used the warranty thing on Ebay? I found this $30 including shipping. I would be shocked if anything worked, and really all I need is the housing. I have to admit this has me curious.

lol Maybe Scotty can get her back.:-) I have had them for over 30 years. I have looked at adapters every time a battery dies. It also crosses my mind every time Lowes puts DeWalt on a flash sale. It was just hard to pull the trigger when they were working. When I tested the "spouse waters", I...

In the past when I took a shot in the dark, my band of brothers came through when I thought it was impossible. :-)

I have tried searching for the shell online. Most parts website have them "Discontinued". When I find something on Amazon, it 20V. Also the parts talked about V1, V2, etc. But I could not tell the differance by the pictures. I can try glue, but I don't have too much hope in that. Any thoughts...

Yes. I remember that I had to have it so I could screw the line together. I was able to spin it all including the regulator before mounting it. The ability to shift from unregulated to regulated. I was just going to move a coupler until someone mentioned the 3-way valve. I don't need...

But, did you stay at a Holiday Inn last night? :) That was my exact thought.
