At work we have an old 9 volt dewalt drill and we sometimes use 12 or 14 volt batteries on it and it seems to work fine. I own a black and decker firestorm 12 volt drill.

They are made by the same manufacturer. B & D for the homeowner, Porter Cable for the professional

It is a 18 volt black & decker drill. The attachment goes in the drill just like a drill bit would. It is rusted in and we have tried many different lubes (ex. WD 40) and we can’t get it out even with a vice grip pliers. I need an alternative solution besides lubes to get it out. We have even tried to muscle it out and almost ruined the drive in the drill. Someone please help! It is an expensive drill and it would be a shame to have it go to waste! Help would be much appreciated!

of course they do, its a whole system of how to bleed the punter… pity really, when you realise that DeWalt is the parent company…

I just need to put up some blinds from Ikea.
I live in Boston and the moldings (mouldings?) in this apartment are old hardwood. The walls are plaster. I have a hard time hanging anything.
I just spent forty-five minutes trying to get six screws into the window moldings. Three of the screws broke. One was stripped. The others went in, but took forever.
I am using an inexpensive cordless drill from Black and Decker. I tried changing the bit (both a larger and a smaller one): no luck.
What is going on?? Is my drill too cheap? Is the wood too hard? I asked the man at the hardware store today, and he said that as long as it wasn’t metal (it’s definitiely wood), the screw “should go right in.” I haven’t used power tools since I used to build sets in high school, but I don’t remember having this much trouble with such a basic project.
Help!!
