I have just one of those days spending more time fixing tools than using them !!!!!!!! Not just the usual hunt for 9v batteries but every tool I needed required work.

Reminds me of my first MIG welder. Spent way more time tinkering with that POS than I did welding with it.

And I think I might have solved the 9v battery problem.with lithium rechargeables. They're working in everything I've tried thus far............
