I have a B&D 18v cordless drill, brand new and will not charge. Bought 3 at the same time, 2 as gifts and none will charge. Store says send it to manufacturer. Really? That is just not good customer relations on anyone's part. I have purchased other cordless tools and never had this problem.

SOURCE: chuck change

open the chuck fully and remove the scre inside by turning clockwise. insert allen short side in to the chuck & tighten
the chuck. hold the drill & hit the allen counter clockwise & do it again as needed.

SOURCE: Won't charge fully

If your warranty has expired, you're best off buying a new drill. Replacing batteries will quickly add up to the cost of a new drill.

I know they cost a lot more, but, if you want something that will last a lot longer, look at a Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, Bosch, Hitachi for your replacement. Milwaukee actually guarantees their LiIon batteries will last 1,000 charges or longer.

SOURCE: lost 18V AC adaptor- can I use one made for laptop with 18V output?

I don't know if I would try this or not. there could be a difference in the amps and usually a charger is designed to shut off or go to trickle when the battery is fully charged.

OK try going to Blacnanddeckercom and in the header you will find a link on the right hand side to register your new tool. Let me know if you need more assistance.

Testimonial: "This was not helpful at all. I went to the site you suggested and still could not register my new drill. You said to go to "Blacnanddeckercom"?"

Look at the three jaws in the chuck,if on is further out than the others the you need to tap ti back into place with a small punch and a hammer.If this does not work then you need to replace the chuck,remove the screw at the bottom of the chuck[where you put the bit],then you will need to to clamp vise grip on the chuck and with it pointed away from you hit the vise grips with a hammer with a sharp blow downward and it should come off.Hope this helps.
