| 1006.1 | black and decker in Kittery | HPSTEK::PASCO | Mark 'PASCO' Pascarelli | Wed Mar 02 1988 13:10 | 10 |
| Black and Decker Outlet store in Kittery Maine. In the first set
of stores after you get off the highway. Right across the street
from the Corning Outlet.
They have reconditioned, and also blemished items. This includes
all power tools , workmates, vac's , toasters , etc.....
they also carry items with no problems.....

| 1006.2 | Not Such A Great Deal! | TRACTR::DOWNS | | Thu Mar 03 1988 07:22 | 4 |
| I stopped into the B&D store in Kittery and wasn't impressed. The
prices that I saw on reconditioned, blemished tools weren't a whole
lot less then buy the 1st line tool on sale. Just my opinion!

| The store in Brighton is just off Soldiers field road, almost next
to the MDC police station. If you're traveling East on SF road,
take the exit just after Martignetti liquors and the store
will be almost right in front of you.

| 1006.4 | Thanks! How about Milwaukee tools? | DELNI::GRACE | Amazin' Grace | Thu Mar 03 1988 12:55 | 7 |
| Yup! That's the one! Now, if only they'd still have the older tools w/o the
cheap plastic cases ...
After mentioning all of this to a friend, he suggested Milwaukee tools.
Any opinions?

| 1006.5 | Milwaukee = top of the line | HPSMEG::LUKOWSKI | I lost my A$$ in the '87 CRASH! | Thu Mar 03 1988 15:24 | 12 |
| Re: .4
You were talking Black and Decker tools and your friend was talking
Milwaukee? The two are by no means in the same league unless you
are talking about Black and Decker's professional line of power
tools. In my opinion, Black and Decker's line still won't compare
except for price. There's mega-info on Milwaukee tools in the tools
(soon to be called Woorworking and Tools) notes file located on your
node (DELNI). If you can afford Milwaukee, by all means, go for it.
You won't regret it. Chances are, you will never need to replace it.

| 1006.6 | I want my old Makita back ! | MILPND::STUART | | Wed Nov 04 1992 12:48 | 17 |

Not sure if this is a good place for this but........
I have a Makita palm sander that is alittle over a year old and I
use it constantly thus the brushes/magnates are worn down to the
point they don't make contact. I took the sander apart (1st mistake)
and confirmed the brushes were worn. Can these be replaced ??
Where can you get them ?? Anyone between Maynard and Fitchburg
repair these ??
I've since purchased another sander but would like to repair the
old one. I hate the new one ! It's the exact model as the other
but the motor is much louder and it vibrates TOO much which
makes it hard to control.

| 1006.7 | Try the repair centers | SALEM::PAGLIARULO_G | Reality is a cosmic hunch | Thu Nov 05 1992 07:33 | 11 |
| Randy,
If you have the paperwork that came with the sander there should
be a list of authorized service centers. If not then the yellow pages
should list them. You could buy the brushes from them. If that isn't
convenient then I'd call around to a few hardware stores or tool sellers.
I don't know if brushes are 'universal' or if Makita would take a
special type but they may have what you need. Usually replacing the
brushes is no big deal.

| 1006.8 | SHEPARD & PARKER has Brushes.... | BCVAXD::PILOTTE | | Thu Nov 05 1992 08:29 | 12 |

Randy,
I had the same problem with my palm sander. If your in the
Fitchburg area you can get a new set of brushes from SHEPARD & PARKER
INC. They are located at 18 Lincoln St. phone 343-3907. the part
number for the brushes is 643057-4 Type CB-57. I think thye cost
me something like 4 or 6 bucks.
regards,
Mark

| 1006.11 | How to replace the handle of an axe/maul/sledge hammer | HYDRA::NEWMAN | Chuck Newman, 508/467-5499 (DTN 297), MRO1-3/F26 | Mon Jan 27 1997 21:51 | 13 |
| I was playing fetch with my neighbors dog while splitting wood. Tried to get
off one last swing before he came back with the ball, and rushed it -- over
swung and split the handle.
Picked up a replacement handle, which came with a wood wedge and a steel wedge.
Can I assume that (after I put on a Handle Saver) I put the head on the new
handle, bang the wood wedge into the slot, then drive the stell wedge in next to
it?
Are there any tricks (e.g., heat the head up first to it expands and goes on
easier)?

| The steel wedge goes in across the wood wedge, to expand the handle a bit
lengthwise as well as crosswise. Sort of like:
__________________

| =========\\========= | <--- wood wedge

------------------

|
+--- steel wedge
Drive the wood wedge first. Put a block of wood on top, so that the hammer
doesn't split the wedge. Drive the crap out of it, cuz it's gonna have to
stand a lot of pounding when you use the axe. Cut off any remainder that's
still sticking out. Now drive the steel wedge.
DON'T heat the head. Heating anneals the metal, and makes the edge soft. I
have an old axe head that someone must have heated. The edge folds right over
like a piece of foil after the first couple of chops.
