Soon, if your social credit score gets too low, your power tools will be disabled.

Power tools will be activated through Bluetooth connection. Well, if they can be activated, they can be deactivated.

Soon, it won't run at all unless permanently connected to the internet and your social credit profile.

It's just like they said - You'll own nothing.....

It sounds simple enough -

Voltage from the battery goes through the trigger to the motor. Pretty easy.

But the batteries now all have circuitry that communicates with the both the motor and battery charger to prevent overheating and.... well there's a lot of circuitry in tools now that don't need to be. But that can be used to lockout the tool.

In the beginning you'd be bypassing the Bluetooth lockout. But then, as they improve the lockouts, you'd be building and selling batteries and chargers. But because you'd be simplifying everything, buying a modified battery and a simple charger, and modifying the tool - That could end up cheaper than buying a battery and charger from the manufacturer.

Of course they'd do everything they could to shut you down and arrest you. Mainly by trying to get you to modify stolen tools.

Mine will still work though, because mine aren't gay.

Good thing I have an absolute ridiculous amount of tools going all the way back to the late 1800's.

I have a draw knife stamped 1868 and a compass plane from 1890 and dozens of antique planes. Having cabinet makers for a grandfather & great grandfather has its benefits.

Fuck you Home Depot.

old american steel is the best.

and hand tools are quieter and mistakes aren't as quick as with power tools. Zen and the art of
Carpentry

I bet if they implemented things like this on Newports you would have no problem with it. Double-standard loving faggot.

Of course I wouldn't care if they did this on Newports. No self respecting White person smokes.

But good White people do use power tools. And the fact that tools are now going to be built with remotely controlled kill switches that will allow them to be disabled, destroying good honest Whites from operating businesses and making a living, that is a bad thing for my race.

Niggers and chinks smoking cigarettes has little to no effect on me and my race. But this does.
