Huh. I guess Makita really do make everything you could use an 18v battery with

This is a filter coffee machine that runs off a Makita battery like what you'd use in a drill

merry crimbomas!

Someone buy the rights to the Sinclair C5 already so I can get a new version of it with modern motors and batteries

In Welsh tradition, at christmas, Mari Lwyd will come around all the houses in the town with a bunch of mates and sing loudly that they want to enter your house

Lanarkshire just got Gritter Thunberg

duct tape a multirotor to your roomba

roomba can now go up stairs
