No spare batteries before lift work

Bring charged spare batteries before lift work. A dead impact or drill mid-air turns into wasted trips and shortcuts.

Stop if

• Do we have spare batteries before I take the lift up?

Watch out

• Do not go up for a hardware-heavy task with one weak battery.

Check

• Check battery charge before heading up.
• Bring a spare if the task is long.
• Keep charger location known.
• Pack the correct drill/impact.
• Do not substitute wrong tools because the battery died.
