mbrcatz17 asked:


I have a black & decker power drill/screwdriver, and the little red button (you know, the one that lets you pick which direction it turns) is stuck in one position. Great for unscrewing or drilling. Useless for screwing.

Is there some “man secret” to fixing this, besides using a hammer? Or is this just a loss??

I have a chance to buy a 10 year old, but never used, still in the original box, cordless drill. Will it still take & hold a charge?

I have a pack of Black and Decker drill bits and a Black and Decker cordless drill. The drill has a hexagonal chuck but the drill bits are round and of various sizes. I can’t find an adapter among the parts I have.

I live in a cold city where it get’s down to -35 in the winter. Does it matter if I store tools in the garage that are battery operated?

Lawrence I asked:


The old chuck wrench method worked well but all the new drill chucks are hand tightened and do not hold well. Bits and drills fall out or won’t turn when you try to drill a hole.
