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

It was even the same brand. I love when hoarding materials pays back.
You had an unusually robust gerbil wheel, methinks.

Only this bearing was gnaw resistant.

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.

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.
