I fixed my dad's angle grinder with a ball bearing I salvaged from my gerbil's old excercise wheel a few years back. (i.ibb.co)

It was even the same brand. I love when hoarding materials pays back.

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.
