hey guys got a safety tip for all of you. if you have cordless drills be aware of fire hazard. a co worker that just retired just got done building a second garage mancave recently. it WAS beautiful. another co worker was driving by a few weeks ago and saw smoke!!!!!! he turned around and ran up to his house and told him his mancave was on fire:eek: when it was all over $50k+ in damage. 2hours earlier he had plugged his cordless drills in their chargers. one of them shorted out starting his work bench on fire, then it spread up the wall into a cabinet full of aerosol cans which exploded:eek: the fire then got into the attic!!!!! thank god no one was hurt. he had all his fish and deer mounts on the walls. over a dozen walleyes between 10 and 13 pounds!!!! at least his dads burial flag was not damaged in its case. fire inspecter said one of the 2 drills started fire. Dewalt and Bosch tools sent engineers to house to investigate. when we heard this at work a lot of us went home and started unplugging chargers. inspector said this happens often. so beware guys
