One other thing I would check in addition to the excellent suggestions above if those are all OK is the possibility of cold/cracked solder joints. This is a common failure on MANY electronic devices and can be easily fixed by resoldering the bad joints. "It's time to be CORRECT, NOT...

Segmented is what I used because I read somewhere they worked better because of the slots helping with cooling. I used my good circular saw but made sure to blow it out with my air hose after each cut to make sure bits of concrete didn't wind up somewhere they shouldn't. Since then, my dad...

I went to HF and got one of those diamond concrete cutting blades for my 7 1/4" circular saw and cut all mine that way. I think the blade was $15 or $20. Worked great and if I ever need it again, I'm all set.

I stand corrected! :( "It's time to be CORRECT, NOT politically correct!!!" -The Truth

I'm no vise expert and don't even have one of these cool old versions in this thread but I'd use a solution of Simple Green mixed with water- just follow the dilution directions on the bottle. "It's time to be CORRECT, NOT politically correct!!!" -The Truth

I used Lexel sealant on my Job Smart- hands down, the best sticking and longest lasting sealant/caulking I've ever used on anything in my 50 years (you can get it in a squeeze tube or standard caulking tube @ Ace Hardware or True Value). "It's time to be CORRECT, NOT politically correct!!!"...

Touché. Probably is. :) Thanks! Yeah, Bosch sent it out ASAP. Couldn't believe how fast I got it. Thanks! "It's time to be CORRECT, NOT politically correct!!!" -The Truth

This is the kit I won from sawdustgirl.com in the giveaway I found out about on GJ. Awesome addition to my cordless drill collection and my first impact driver. Can't wait to try it out. "It's time to be CORRECT, NOT politically correct!!!" -The Truth

Got the kit today! Yeah, I know, I ****. ;) "It's time to be CORRECT, NOT politically correct!!!" -The Truth

Exactly. I get stuff from work all the time that is trash to them. Most of what I get is old nonworking equipment I need to junk out to get the scrap metal I can then use to build or repair other stuff. I've gotten lots of pounds of stainless steel and aluminum this way over the last 28 years.

That's exactly what I want one of these for if I could ever find one locally.

I don't know anything about it but I want one! That thing looks like it's built like a tank! Nice score!

Yep, can't have too many tools in my opinion. :)

Hmmmm, to prevent future seizing I'd put plumber's silicone grease liberally on both connections. As far as getting this one off, I'd just cut it off to save the bib.

Hex female end.

Thanks! I just about had a heart attack when I got the email this morning. Of course I just bought a new Bosch cordless DDH181X-01 about a month ago because my 17 year old Makita finally died. I can sure use the extra drill but the impact driver is what will get used most as I don't have one...

Thanks for posting this thread! I entered after I saw it and followed all instructions. Apparently, I just won.

I really like my Kintrex IRT0421. I've had it for several years and don't use it a lot but every time I do it works great. The selling point for me was the fact it runs on 2 AAA batteries. I put in a pair of Energizer lithium several years ago when I got it and they are still going strong- in...

It can happen in metal and plastic, the batteries don't care what they are surrounded with. :) If you can loosen a tail cap so he light won't come on meaning the circuit is open, it would help keep this from happening. If you really want to keep it from happening on AAA and AA at least, use...
