Dyson in the Wild Big Bertha's sister

Picked up a V10 body with broken trigger cheap on eBay, after a bit of refurbishment, replacing the trigger and adding a Ryobi 40v battery adapter she just needs a new bin lid before she's ready for service.

LOL .... I have an 18v Milwaukee impact wrench that I use at work that I call 'Bertha'... Big Bertha. Actually, it's the battery that is 'Bertha'... she is a 12ah heavy weight. Tons of torque...

They are heavy, what's interesting is I actually prefer the V8 to the v10, the v10 body is heavier as well even though both have heavy ass batteries.

Probably several hours on non boost mode lol. Haven't had a chance to test yet, but just the physical size of the adapted batteries are 3-4x the size of the OEM battery.
