    DeWalt 20V Max drill and driver trigger switches not working right.

    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...

    Air compressor... What do you suggest?

    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?

    Advise on compressor repair, please

    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...

    advise for floor of screen room on deck

    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?

    Issue with a 4' flourescent T8 fixture

    My garage has several of these fixtures with 2 bulbs each, attached to the ceiling. Now, 1 fixture has a flickering bulb. I replaced it, but still flickered. Then replaced both bulbs and still flickering. Is the ballast bad? Should I replace the fixture with a T8 LED fixture, or what? I...

    KwikLift for sale

    I am selling my Kwik Lift because I am selling my hot rod and haven't used the lift for about a year. I have it sitting apart along the wall in my garage. It is a car lift that raises the tires 20" above the floor, (which puts the bottom of the car about 30" or so above the floor.) I also...

    mildew or mold in the garage now

    I was gone on an RV trip for 5 months. When I returned, the garage smelled kinda like mildew or mold. I aired it out and it's better. I see than some hand tools and my rider mower have a light gray film of something on it. (not sure if it's mold or what). Moisture got inside during heavy...

    Need help with air compressor pressure control...

    I have a 5 hp unit that had a Furnas air compressor pressure switch installed on it. It shut the compressor off as designed, but then the pressure switch would leak air pressure down, from near where the 1/4" copper tubing attaches to the pressure control switch. The tank loses the pressure...

    Air ratchet wrench needs repair

    My 3/8" drive Campbell-Hausfeld air ratchet didn't work today. I used it about 2 weeks ago and it worked fine. But, now, it doesn't spin the turbine inside. I am thinking about putting some WD-40 in it and try it tomorrow. Maybe it just needs oiling. But, I am not sure if that's what's...

    Buy cordless power tools from pawn shops?

    I am looking to buy an 18v heavy duty hammer driver/drill, but not sure what brand to get. I see a LOT of various cordless tools in pawn shops. But, I never buy any because I wonder if the batteries are almost shot and if the tools are worn out or defective. What do you think? Does buying...
