It was even the same brand. I love when hoarding materials pays back.
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.
I fixed my dad's angle grinder with a ball bearing I salvaged from my gerbil's old excercise wheel a few years back.

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

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.
