I bought the canvas bag that snaps to the frame and collects
everything that falls from under the table saw.

A table saw "diaper". Mine is a cabinet saw, so no diaper. ;-)

No, you couldn't stand the smell if you had to wait for it to fill,
if it was a diaper. :)

I have one; that is exactly true and is clearly mentioned in the manual! Forget
and leave the battery in the charger for a couple days and you can kiss that
battery goodbye. I bought 2 of those drill kits so I could have 2 batteries
plus spare parts. Already, one of the chargers has died. Also the chuck tends
to come unscrewed when you run the drill backwards, making it 50% usless as a
screwdriver. Further, the batteries self-discharge after sitting about two
weeks, so it will always be dead if you only use it occasionally. Other than
all that stuff, it honestly is a strong, useful drill.

Same here. I bought him a new lithium Ryobi kit just yesterday. He will get if
for his 92nd birthday next month!

Yep it's way strong. 18V. Battery is flat every time I want to use
it though. 15 mins of charging gets it juiced up enough for most of
my tasks. I'm sure I've hosed the battery with such short charges
though.
Thanks for the advisory re: drilling backwards.
I was freaked out once when I unplugged the power brick (with the
battery still attached) and the brick got warmer and warmer... that
was strange. Tried to remember never to do that again...

That's a good idea for a Father's Day gift... thanks for the idea!
