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 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 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
