They're good, stops corrosion.

Adapt it to your recharchable tool platform and refit one of your powertools with blown up gas engine with it!

Today I have re-acquired faith in statements made by a tool manufacturer:
Shortly after buying the already presented straight grinder ...
... I had discovered the "free battery promotion" from Metabo for cordless devices purchased between 01.09.2022 and 31.12.2022 of certain criteria and registered the straight grinder.
The battery arrived a few days ago:
The design has since been revised somewhat, but everything fits of course unrestricted in the system.
And because I am a good customer I let the promotion work on me and went in search of eligible devices that I am still missing and for which I have a real purpose ....
... I would have always found a cordless heat gun practical, but had so far refrained from buying one, because the pure conversion of electrical energy into heat by sheer let-current-flow with this intelligent form of energy did not seem to be a well use and on top of that completely unsuitable for battery.
But what do I care about my smart speeches from yesterday ... again without battery, but this time with a system case:
The operation of the temperature control looks like more than it is:
The bidirectional momentary switch alternates between two states, warmer and colder;
as it seems, the temperature is measured near the discharge opening and the lower temperature is reached by increasing the fan speed
- this will be important later with the accessories.
As far as I could find out by playing (who reads instruction manuals?).
The box came with two handy accessory nozzles: 1. for shrinking and melting tubes; 2. for co-centering the jet and base for other accessories.
Notes with the nozzles say to use only with temperature controlled heat guns!
As soon as the heat gun was in the house, I also registered this device ..... today came the second battery ....
... and both fit very nicely in the system box.
... now I have to see which battery tools I am still missing ....

You're asking me?
Not so much watching my own output .... why you're asking?

This is due to the fact that I'm always annoyed when I want to know something about a device and the person who took the pictures does not think about the infromation transfer and just fabricates any pictures, but then is surprised when inquiries come.
If I use too much bandwidth here, then you just have to tell me - but my experience with forums tells me that meaningful pictures are the real currency there.
By the way: I am German, you can expect a certain thoroughness from me.
In my opinion, I have not yet bored anyone here with duplicates .... if i did, I am capable of learning.

Had some time to kill in the black country and got tempted in a couple of antique shops...
Firstly, this dividing head & centre seemed a bargain for £30, even though it's far too big for my current milling machine. One day I'll get a bigger mill and, as long as I can figure out a way to hoist it onto the table (it's too heavy for me to lift!), it'll be very useful.
Lots of surface rust, but everything moves very smoothly (once I'd figured out what to do with all the levers so it wasn't locked in position). Needs a chuck, but I'll worry about that once I've spent some time cleaning it up.
Also got tempted by a couple of planes (even though I really don't need any more planes) and a £40 lump of hardwood, allegedly mahogany, reclaimed from a lintel:
