I have one of those cheepcheep HF recip saws too, beat it hard and it’s still 
going. I think it was $18 when I got it maybe 10yr ago after my Sears 
(Milwaukee) stripped the main gear and parts are NLA

Bulbs, if you're lucky.  A flex-circuit repair if you're not.

[MBZ] Harbor freight and e320 wagon cluster

2023-03-01 Thread RICK HAWKINS via Mercedes
Folks 

I bought a harbor freight saws all reciprocating saw, corded, probably in 2002. 
I figured I could do a few jobs with it

Well it moved with me to the beach and is still going strong in 2023 …. It has 
been used hard on wood nails and metal

I think it probably cost $15 on sale … well under $20

Recently I bought a Ryobi cordless one from my neighbor for $10. I have Ryobi 
small circular saw, drill and vacuum … all bought used and work well but the 
one battery I have is getting weak … should I consider after market ones?

In other news the 2002 e320 wagon hovercraft is having problems with the 
display in the cluster … it’s dim or dark and only occasionally can I even see 
the odometer … what is the fix for this 

Xx rick
