Someone sold it for cheap due to the fact that it’s 30 years old. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it’s in pretty good condition considering.
In the picture I am in the process of scrubbing away the worst rust bits. Turned out to be mostly surface stuff. Scrubbed what I could, and got a nice thick coat of Hammerite
The brakes should be replaced soon, but it’s not urgent. Same goes for the bed, but that’s not urgent either.
Lights worked fine, but used the old 7 pin connector. I replaced it with a proper 13 pin ISO 11446 connector so I can plug it into my car without an adapter.
My most used drill is an old Ryobi 12V drill. It’s small, yet powerful enough for most jobs. Most importantly it’s very lightweight. For most common jobs aroud the house it’s what I use. I use it for all the little things like putting together furniture, hanging pictures etc.
I also have a 18V drill like yours that I use if I needed. It gets the job done but it’s heavy and gets tiring to use.
I occasionally pull out to old 3.2 amp Makita corded for larger jobs that need power but I want a lighter drill.
