    You want a filter that allows air to move. Filtrete is electrostatic so it will trap. I just use the basic one. Works great

    Hello my name Larry, and I recently purchased a new set of Craftsman batteries and a charger, they are Craftsman V2 4.0AH Lithium ION with my purchase I got a new tool for free. The problem is that I'm old school and have the old school set of tools that use the 19.2v batteries, the salesperson said to me NOT problem there is an adapter that I can purchase online from Amazon. The salesperson looked up the part number a gave it to me so I ordered it, but you guessed it ,it didn't match up and didn't work. I return it and bought another but it didn't work either. Is there an adapter you know of that will work for me.

  • @larryc2483
    @larryc2483 11 часов назад

    I'm hoping you can help with a battery issue, I recently purchased a Craftsman charger and two batteries they are V20 4.0AH Lithium ION and when I purchased this package I got a new tool for free. I told the salesperson I was old school and had the old Craftsman set of tool that use the 19.2v batteries with the long shaft that goes up inside the tool, she said no problem there is an adapter that you can use your new batteries with your old tools. She looked on amazon and give me the part number so I ordered it ,but you guessed it ,it didn't match and didn't not work. I returned it and ordered a different adapter but it did not fit or work. Do you know of an adapter that i can buy and use that will do the job. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. sincerely LARRY

    Always the capacitor in my situations. High heat and consistent running and it seems to go out causing the unit to blow non-cool air. Without even testing it I can usually tell , because they tend to bulge when bad (not always). They are not that great (as in cheaply China made) anymore, so buy two cause they’re cheap. Usually 19.99 off of EBay and I’m back in business. Not saying to not have it serviced periodically, but “some”easy fix in a pinch.

Don't forget to look behind the fence where i found the tool conveniently mounted! (so thats what thats for!) If not you can buy a replacement for about $11 or use a Torx 30 bit , Dont really need the T 40 because u can use a channel locks/ pliers / socket wrench on the arbor bolt once you get the shroud pushed back. But the 30 bolts are round . What a silly design!

    I think the reason why the crimp produced at 9:45 by the cheaper tooth-and-slot crimping tool isn't as flattened as the crimp produced by the Klein crimping tool is that the slot of the cheaper tool is curved, while the slots of the Klein (shown at 12:43) are flat. With the cheaper tool, I would crimp twice... first using the slot area to start the crimp, and then using a flat area of the tool to complete the flattening.
