I fixed my dad's angle grinder with a ball bearing I salvaged from my gerbil's old excercise wheel a few years back.

It was even the same brand. I love when hoarding materials pays back.
You had an unusually robust gerbil wheel, methinks.
They used a second grinder to power the hamster wheel.
That same hamster now spends most its time not being picked in overwatch.
Only this bearing was gnaw resistant.
Then there's the feeling when you finally let something go that you've had for ages just gathering dust, and suddenly a need pops up for it.
This is the structural foundation of hoarding.
It's not hoarding when it's organized!
Literally just had that happen yesterday.
Nice! I love the feeling of digging through my box-o-crap and finding exactly what I need.
On a related note, I just replaced the bearings in the wheels of my suitcase (it has roller blade wheels). The bearings were $.75 USD each, plus $7 shipping. They were a standard size, 608.
Hope it’s a decently hard steel otherwise might be replacing again soon.
Yessss hoarding
