SOURCE: black and decker cordless drill trigger

Ok, first check to see if the trigger lockout has been engaged, it's a small level at the top of the trigger ( I know this sounds silly, but it happens sometimes). Flip it side to side to see if you can hear the selector moving the switch inside the drill. If the selector moves freely without engaging the switch, you'll have to disassembly the drill housing to put the selector back into the lever so it will work.

Just take out all the screws in the housing and carefully remove the one side and look at the switch lever and make sure it is inside the slide selector lever.

If that isn't the issue, I'm afraid that the electric trigger/switch has failed and this isn't a part that can be disassembled and repaired by a DIY'er. I've attempted it when mine failed and found out it's a sealed unit and wrapped in a copper heat shield that dissapates heat when the variable speed is utilized and you end up destroying the switch housing in the process.

However, any DeWalt authorized repair center can do the repair for around $20 +/-, and if your drill is under the 3 year warranty period, it should be a free, warranty repair. Just contact DeWalt's customer service or your local Authorized Service Center (listed in phone book usually), or check the link for finding one near you.

www.dewalt.com or call 1-800-4-DEWALT (1-800-433-9258

Click on the "Services/Support" tab to get info. You can also buy the replacement parts if your drill is out of warranty (call them to verify before takin it apart!) and do the repair yourself.

Hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

SOURCE: Arrow CT50 stapler I am looking for a staple gun which I could use for upholstery, It would need to drive staples into extremely hard wood. Thanks

Sorry we do not have that information. I suggest you contact a local Auto Trim shop and ask them what they use.

Craftsman stapler modeL 351.181740 WILL NOT FIRE

Mine did that and i shot a bit of WD40 on all the moving parts. It works now. I think it was stored in a damp air place and corrosion set in.

My stapler will not fire it lets out a little air

This problem is usually caused by the safety foot not pushing the trigger firing pin all the way in. Easy test. Remove the nails and airline, remove the trigger to expose the trigger firing pin. Connect airline and with very quick motion depress the firing pin all the way in. If the gun fires then adjust the safety foot. If the gun does not fire, remove the head and pull out the headvalve. Lube all orings in the head with plenty of white grease. Reinstall head and test. If the gun still does not fire, time for oring kit. Good luck.

Makita HR3000c green light comes when trigger depressed but doesnt work

From the owner's manual: Indicator lamp The green power-ON indicator lamp lights up when the tool is switched ON. If the indicator lamp is lit but the tool does not start, the carbon brushes may be worn out, or the electric circuit or the motor may be defective. If the indicator lamp does not light up and the tool does not start, the ON/OFF switch or the mains cord may be defective.

The easiest to check is the brushes. Most newer tools have brushes with a spring loaded pin in them so when they wear down the pin pops and stops the motor so you don't wear the armature. Even without the pin the wire from the contact to the brush is short so the spring doesn't contact and ruin the armature. If the brushes are OK, you'll have to check the switch for continuity.

I have the Arrow CT50 stapler, it won't drive the staple, light works makes a sound like it wants to drive staple but don't. I have adjusted the power to all the way + and the battery shows 4 green lights....

It sounds like the battery is failing low battery voltage equals loss of power. The batteries used in this type of tool are the cheapest ones out there to keep the cost of the tool low, and have a very short lifespan, it is not the number of times used but how old they are that is the main factor

My bostitch compressor staple gun is not working. The compressor itself works fine, the other two guns work, but the staple gun-when you depress the safety and pull the trigger, the air comes out from...

If its the stapler I believe it is (SX1838) it has a broken driver. These staplers have a factory flaw in them, the drivers are faulty. Bostitch has since repaired the problem from the factory but their are still nailers out there that have this problem. Sounds like you have one of them, its an easy 5 min fix but you need to go to a Bostitch cervice center in your area and get a fresh driver installed. Your stapler has a 7 years warranty so it won't cost you anything. As a Bostitch service center I have done hundreds of those staplers, once the driver is changed ou shouldn't have this problem anymore.

Nothing happens when you load paper to staple. It is a swingline electric stapler model 270

assuming it is plugged into a good power source and turned on (no offense intended, just getting the obvious out of the way - and I've fallen victim to the obvious myself before), look inside where you put the paper - is there a trigger mechanism? Most electric staplers have them (the paper hits the trigger and the stapler fires), and some allow you to set the sensitivity of the trigger. If yours allows you to adjust the sensitivity, try adjusting it. If it's not adjustable, the trigger probably needs to be replaced (under heavy use, they may need to be replaced every year or so).

Stapler works intermittantly

If not the power source or cord, the next activation point would be the trigger. Does the stapler make any sort of noise when the trigger is depressed? What type and model stapler is it?
