Don’t Lose Your Battery and Charger on a Job

Use this reminder so that you never leave a job site without your battery and charger.

By Brian Campbell Issue 315 - June 2023

Ever forget your battery and charger in an out-of-the-way place on a job site? When I’m working on-site by myself or with people I can trust, I create a foolproof reminder by leaving my truck keys with the charger, which I conveniently mount on plywood with a handle.
