Lemon

A couple of years ago I found myself in a rainy field, attempting to free a rust-frozen series of bolts off the front of a Scout that was sitting only a few feet from a crusher. There wasn’t a lot of salvageable stuff on the truck other than some sheet metal; in hindsight I could have probably picked more parts, but I spent most of my time fighting these dumb bolts. I eventually found an employee of the yard, borrowed a cordless angle grinder, and had the grille free in minutes. A month later I bought a cordless DeWalt grinder and used it a couple of times when my corded units didn’t quite reach, but I found that it only had about 30 seconds of power before it would basically just die out. I chalked this up to my older, smaller 20v batteries not holding a ton of charge, but this winter, I bought a fat 6A for it and my impact driver, and the resulting surplus of power made no difference. I dropped it off at a local authorized service center and they called me this morning to tell me…
