NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Yours?
I used to have a 1978 XS1100 with a sidecar - super cool old bike!

I've gone from 5 electrics and 1 acoustic to just one electric. Its through necessity though, because my other hobby, photography, has taken a turn for the expensive.

This is pretty exciting! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VtVT93r1sI A lot of interesting devices come out but I can't help feeling that the manufacturers are just trying to reinvent the wheel.

There is this bad boy close by https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/building-renovation/tools/power-tools/drills-screwdrivers/listing/4462328575 Can't see the brand on this one.
