safron is liquid gold so the winners are rich.In Aus We wolud say "give me my Makita back Mack". With battery tech I guess the more hits the more chance for wins like lotto. 24 amp 18 volts may do the trick. What language do the jockey/dromaderies talk?. The one going the wrong way may be a carro armeto or a greyhound after a meat pie. Thanks for the giggles, Altair
