That moment when my drill battery died in a crawl space in August

I was 30 feet into a crawl space under a house in Memphis, running new cable, and my drill just quit. Had to back out in 105 degree heat, wait 45 minutes for a spare battery. Has anyone else had gear fail at the worst possible time?

Picture me face down in 105 degree filth with a dead drill, trying to crabwalk backwards with wires catching on every nail and pipe. I know that pain. Had my impact driver give up halfway through driving a lag bolt into a stud in an attic that felt like Satan's sauna. Ended up just sitting there staring at the thing like it owed me money. The worst part is you know there's a spare battery somewhere in your truck but it might as well be on the moon when you're stuck 30 feet in.

Real talk, at 105 degrees that spare battery in the truck is gonna be too hot to charge anyway.
