Im not always in the shop building something. I spend some of my time just fixing and repairing things around the shop and house. I decided I would share some of these experiences with you. Just because something is broken, doesn’t mean you have to immediately throw it away. Many times, if you just make a bit of effort, you can fix the broken thing for much less money than it would cost to replace it. Such is the case with this project.
I’ve had this Craftsman LED work light for a long time. After a recent charge, I realized that the lights were not very bright and this item was about unuseable. Instead of throwing it away, I decided to take it apart. I found the battery pack inside, removed it, and took it to my local battery shop. They were able to build me a new battery pack right there in house. It wasn’t expensive, and the new batteries had more capacity than the old ones, while providing the same output power. After a quick reassembly, the light is back in operation and running at its full brightness.
This is a great example of fixing an item that’s not working correctly, instead of tossing it in the trash. What broken items do you have laying around that you’re thinking of throwing away? Maybe you can repair it with a little effort instead. Go ahead, take a look around.
Thanks for stopping by. Happy Fixing!
