You may want to look for the manual but it is mostly caused by a bad battery. The battery may be discharged far and many chargers are not capable to charge batteries being even close to full. Green means charging and red is fail. It keeps trying. A broken and useless battery may show the same indicators flashing. Inspect the battery to make sure it is in a good condition, like acid at about the right level and no traces of melting on the container or visible loose/bent plates. Put a voltage or multimeter on 20 Volt at its terminals and determine the battery has any voltage to begin with. 11Volt indicates an empty battery and 12,8 to 13,2 is probably full. An empty 12 Volt battery is charged with a 12 Volt ~ 1 Amp power adapter (maximum 1/10 of battery Amp but not until fully charged) and preferably a 1 Amp fuse in the + line. This is "attended charging," meaning things must not get hot and charging is stopped before the battery is full. Then try the charger again, always the 12 Volt clamps attached first and next the plug in the mains. Disconnecting is in reverse order.
Bad batteries often have sulfur on their plates and can be revived by fast discharging but the success rate is low. Meaning a battery can be better but not good enough. Batteries have a life of 5 years and closer to 10 when always charged. When charging was low and often not, the battery could have died after two or three years. This apart from a limited number of charge-discharge cycles. The test is with all lights on and then not dimming in the first minute or after ten seconds. Good batteries must hold charge for a week and not much less every day.
I have an MC cordless impact drill that isn't as strong as it use to be and laggy when screwing in wood. I took it apart in the hopes of replacing the brushes or see something obvious that would be the issue but unsure if it has or where would the brushes be to replace in first place. Model #054-3175-8
limited info generic answer if new return for refund or replacement --or notify manufacturer if have replacement parts---do online search using make and model for repair parts[kit]
All questions need 'make model (what it is)' as the first 3 words.
It is likely to be the selector, Undo-Lock-Clockwise, or it is the gearbox or switching mechanism, depending on type.
With make and model not stated, you can look it up
make model only works in reverse

If the battery charger on your Evatac flashlight blinks from red to green repeatedly when you connect the batteries to the charger, it could indicate a problem with the batteries or the charger itself.
Here are a few possible reasons why the charger is blinking from red to green:
The batteries may be faulty or damaged. In this case, the charger may not be able to charge the batteries properly, causing it to blink from red to green.
The charger may be detecting a problem with the batteries, such as overcharging or overheating. In this case, the charger may be designed to stop charging and start blinking from red to green as a warning.
There could be an issue with the charger itself, such as a loose connection or a faulty circuit. In this case, the charger may not be able to properly charge the batteries, causing it to blink from red to green repeatedly.
It is recommended to check the batteries and charger for any visible signs of damage or wear, such as corroded or dirty connections. If the issue persists, it may be best to contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician for further assistance.
I have one of these.
Here you will see how the drill is mounted in the device. Position (b) around the handle and tighten it up untill drill seats firmly in place. Take a speed square, or normal square and eyeball or measure the drill to see if its straight. Use the alignment adjustment (A) to fine tune the drill to get the drill bit straight and square. Tighten up all the nuts holding drill in device and recheck the drill bit for straightness.. Put your work under the drill, press the trigger and lock into place to get the drill to constantly run without finger on trigger, pull down the press lever to drill your hole... Hope this helps!
Question edited for clarity and correct spelling of the maker.
Here is the manual section on the LED Lighting sequence. Both Red and Green flashing is not there. Your charger has a model number on the bottom of it and you didn't supply that, so this may be the wrong charger!

The question was mentioned on Fixya before.
'make model (what it is)' as first three words of every question please.
All the ways to tighten a drill chuck in the link. I have one with a key and my cordless drill has a central position between forward and reverse that locks the chuck.
