I need to replace a cord on an old Craftsman 1/2" drill

I would like to find a cord with a rubber collar which fits into the trigger housing properly. Sears is no help. What to do? A diagram for disassemble would help too !

A lot of times B&D makes molded cords that work with Craftsman stuff. Look up a service center near you and take the cord in to see if they can match it up with something they have. (Take the drill in too.)

Cut the old one from the original cord a bit shorter and reuse it if its not rotted. I replace my cords with a 25' extention cord that is a least a 14 gauge cord and then I don't have to go looking for an extention cord every time I use the tool.

Hi Tim, Sounds like you got it figured out! The only question I see is if there is a quick fix, and it looks like you answered your own question. You can certainly pursue requesting that it be fixed as a manufacturing defect/ faulty part, or even a safety hazard as that is your right. While I can not suggest you take that route, the old metaphor of the sparking trigger that melted in my hand always seemed to get a lot of attention. Good Luck to you, hope this Fixsya!

SOURCE: Replacing a power cord for a Dewalt electric drill

some of the dewalt drill switches have a one way trap (like) for the wire. you push the wire in and the harder you pull it gets tight on its self. your wires go in the bottom of the trigger look right on top of each wire there is a small **** (no bigger then 3/16) for a flat head screw drive. In the **** you will see a small lever, it needs to be turned at the same time pull. It will help to have a friend.

I will go one further, they had a recall of their batteries which could have led to your problem back in 2007 and the chargers on some of them also. I would again call the number and give them the date codes from both and then try again at getting it replaced. Their are a lot of posts online for this to be a simple occurence, The battery could have shorted internally causing the switch to melt and there would be a potential for user injury also. Let me know if you find anything out and if you have there web address I would be interested.

Cannot remove drill piece from drill. Totally locked. how can I release bit to replace it.
Try putting it in reverse. Hold the chuck collar with left hand. With drill in low speed setting, squeeze trigger. If it won't release and tries to tear your wrist off, hold the chuck collar in a pipe wrench, workmate bench vise, or large water pump pliers.
In some circumstances there is no substitute for brute force.

I dont know how to change the drillbit in my dw257 corded drill
Do you mean the Dewalt DW257 drywall screwdriver? For that model, you need to pull the adjustment collar forward. (This part fits over the drill bit to the clutch housing.) Remove the collar completely. Then using pliers, if needed, pull the drill bit tip out of the holder. Then put a new tip into the holder. Then snap the adjustment collar back over the retaining ring. See Figure 3 on page 2 of the manual (see below for a link) to see what the adjustment collar looks like.

If you want to replace the bit holder and the drill bit tip, pull the holder straight out from the drill. (Again use pliers if it is tight.) Then push a new bit holder into the spindle until the ball lock snaps into the groove of the bit holder shank. Put in the bit tip. Then put the adjustment collar on and make sure it snaps into the retaining ring.

These are the directions for the Type 3 DW257. The manual is available here: http://servicenet.dewalt.com/Products/Detail?isId=true&productNumber=DW257&selectedType=6793# . From the Product Information tab, select your model type and the instruction manual will be shown in the right hand column, if it is available. The manual is available as a PDF; you will need Adobe Reader or a similar program to read the manual.

I hope this helps.

Replacement of cord for a 3.5 amp 1/2 in. Crafstman drill
that's surprising, as sears usually can solve those issues....anyways....you can just get num14 grounded wire, to length you need and that will cover the amps you're using for that drill and a bit more.you'll have to re-use the rubber grommets, or improvise one from something else....like perhaps a roll of soft rubber wrap made into a grommet!!!

How do you get the bit out of the Craftsman 19.2? I just want to change it for a different bit.
I'm assuming this is a drill/driver but you did not indicate a model. If it's a keyless chuck, and most are, put the drill in reverse, hold the chuck housing near the body of the drill firmly and pull the trigger. the chuck jaws will open wide enough to remove the old bit and insert new one. To tighten, switch the drill into forward gear, hold the chuck and pull the trigger until the bit is firmly held in the jaws.

Keyless drill has locked in a closed position with the drill bit
I just put mine in reverse and grasp the chuck with a pair of channel locks. Pull the trigger and hold the channel locks tightly. The chuck will release the bit.

Kenmore 400 series electric dryer
  1. Remove safety plate (usually attached only by 1 or 2 screws)
  2. Remove old cord and restraint with a hand or cordless drill.
  3. The restraint is the collar that fits tightly around the cord to hold it firm to the dryer.
  4. Connect the center wire of the 10/3 cord to the center silver terminal. Turn screw in firmly but not too tight.
  5. Now you have two wires remaining which are attached on either of the two terminals beside the silver terminal. It does not matter which wire goes on which terminal, as both wires are hot. Screw in firmly.
  6. From the outside of the dryer, you need to slide the tab end of one of the collar halves into the 10/3 cord wire hole. Do the same with the other half of the collar,easily draw the two halves together to tighten against the cord .
