Re: (ET) Using Homelite appliances on Elec-Trak



True, thus I consider them to be "light duty" tools. Still, they are quite handy; we'll see how they last.

What I would really like is a nice little 36 volt DC motor to retrofit all these 110 volt appliances. And a DC rated contactor system.

I'd echo that caution. I haven't seen these tools, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were designed to run about as long at a stretch as the battery's charge would last. After that, they'd want a nice cooldown period while the battery was charging.

I suspect that when run from an external power supply, many people will be tempted to keep using them until the smoke escapes from their motors. But I could be wrong.

To understand the Republican party (or the Democratic party, for that matter), it is most efficient to look directly at the clients - or as political scientist Thomas Ferguson would call them, the \ômajor investors.\ö On that level, the ideological contradictions are unimportant. Political parties do function as mediating institutions,
only not for voters.
