It's not the battery for sure, but seems like the trigger or the wiring connected to it are loose. Someday I will take them apart and see.

About 10 years ago, I bought the DeWalt set for general use and they have been great. But now, both drill and driver seem to have an issue with the trigger switches. They work, but if I squeeze the trigger part way, it runs full speed, and if I squeeze it all the way, it goes slowly or stops...

This one is great because it closely, not slams shut.

Thanks to all of you guys that replied, I sold the tank and bought a little smaller setup. I am now 76 and figured I probably won't need more than a 30 gallon open drive setup anymore.

I have an older 5 hp Campbell-Hausfeld belt driven compressor on a 60 gal tank. It got some broken valves, so I removed the aluminum head off of the compressor to replace them. Two steel bolts broke off, leaving small studs sticking out of the head. And, on one side of the head, I cannot get...

I see that there are several posts of coupons, sales, etc. that expired in 2011 and some in 2013 and some in 2017. Any thoughts or ideas about maybe deleting them?

5w30 will be better. 0w20 is too thin and some of it will actually vaporize. 0w20 will cause more wear than 5w30, but it helps car manuf meet the EPA emission standards.

fine to share

I guess the marked down items that you find are only local to your Lowes store. At our 2 Lowes stores in central Florida near me, they either don't have the items or they are for sale at the regular price. They never have the mark downs that are posted here.

Looks like it could tip over on a windy day

007100AV, valve plate gasket is a XA005700AV.

Thanks for all of the tips. I might be able to find the manual that came with the compressor when it was new. I only saw a serial number on the compressor base, but not a model number. And, I remember that some commercial A/C compressors had reed valves that broke sometimes, so I understand...

I have a good older belt drive 2 stage, 2 cylinder Campbell-Hausfeld compressor with a 5 hp motor and a 60 gal tank. But now, the second stage is not working. It runs good still but won't get above 100 psi. So, I guess there is a valve broken inside that won't separate the 2 stages. Do you...

My wife is wanting to get most of our wood deck screened in. I was thinking of putting 3/8" plywood on the deck in the screened room, and then some vinyl planks or something on top of that. Do you have any better ideas?

I see the screwdriver online for $1.19. But, when I add it to my cart, it is $5.98. And, the website says there are 5 in stock at my Lowes, but the cart says I cannot pickup at the store. Any idea why this happened? Looks like the $1.19 is just make believe, not real.
