I bought both of the harbor freight chargers trying to figure out electrolysis. Neither of them worked, I guess they have circuitry now that only let it work if its connected to a battery. I finally traded my dad for his old charger so I could de-rust old Estwing hatchets and Japanese kitchen...
I work in manufacturing and usually only 9 hours a day on concrete but I picked up a pair of Keen San Jose composite toes boots about 5 months ago and love them. It took just a day or two to break in and I prefer them to my tennis shoes now
