send me your address and costs etc
if the pack can’t be revived i have another pack i want to swap the case with as that one fell down and cracked the case

I have a dewalt pack which was left to charge but somehow the charger died and like it drained the battery dead and it wont charge back on new charger

any hope for this pack ?

Guys,

Replacement battery cells available for any Tool failed battery packs reviving.

Bro,

I can check this pack for you if the charger failed we can also check why as this will confirm why the battery was drained.
Regards

Contact: 789-6465

Edit: vendor walked me thru it. They working fine now.




Fixing solar lights floodlight too?
I bought some last year November, opened box to test (and they worked) then packed them down until last week. Now I don’t know if they holding charge or not. When I try to turn them on I just getting a flicker for a few seconds and then nothing.

Suspect a battery swap might help. I have 4 units but we can try a fix with one if you think you can take a look.

Any suggestions for Wackers? I would need a string+blade option, electric or gas it does not matter. I care more about robustness, reliability, and serviceability.

The area to cut would be about 30% regular shin height weeds, 30% bull grass, and 30% open ground with no weed yet.

I'd establish a lawn and do proper landscaping at some point, but I need to maintain the property in the interim. It costs 400 for a wacker man, and this is something I can do myself so might as well get the tool and save $ long term.

I see Trintrac having sale on echo blade+string 21cc for 1600

Get one of the bigger Stihl machines with the two lines feeding from the gas tank.
Learn to adjust your carburetor yourself, as you will need to optimize your throttle when changing from line to blade and vice versa.
Easily available parts and you can service by FT Farfan or Ramlagan's hardware in Balmain from trained servicemen.
Point to note, NEVER remove your blade guard, as it is there for your safety, especially with metal blades. Also removing it voids your warranty.I have seen too many idiots that think themselves clever doing this and end up cutting themselves.

Still!
I have a 55,280 and 450....all for different purposes...with regular service, they going on 10+ years with simple issues

Had to weigh a bunch of factors but I think I will go electric.

Fuel storage and easy access to gas station will be an issue. Not the deciding factor but convenience really. I don’t want to store gas inside and current location will mean the can has to beat sun or risk getting chomped by these fking dogs I have.

Noise. My timing to manage the yard would likely be evenings.

Plus I have a bunch of other worx sheit with PowerShare batteries so I can score a bare tool with string head for under 1k (20v, 12”) or 2k (15” cut, 40v, capability to swap drive accessories to string, blade, chainsaw or hedge trimmer.)

40v version Attachments are separate about 70-100usd ea)

The local echo electric is 4K from trintrac

I tried calling farfan to get a price on electric stihl but they eh answering. Messaged on socials too but salt.

I know I can get a decent gas trimmer for that budget eh but I might just try this electric.

I’ll wait on a sale

Where can I get the foam spray gun that can attach to a hose. Battery operated, not the ones that you put the hose in a bucket.
