Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Draper Expert, hand held, to be precise. Anyone know how the hell ye set them for right or left hand turning, please? Amazon reviewers seemed really lost. I thought they were just useless. I'd soon sort it out. Year later, I try to use it for the first time? Chaos! I see it says " Left - Right " on the collet. Good luck fathoming how to turn that I just need to wrench open two little screws. Down tools till I can manage that Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 20,414 Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Not sure about Draper, but all the impact drivers I've had you turn to set them in the same direction you want the screw to go. If you want to loosen a screw, turn the driver anti clockwise to set it. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 18,603 Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 As Charts says one way to screw in one way to take screw out but I have a middle setting (Lock)also which I alway put it on when returning to the box. Sometime the trigger touches the casing and keeps the light on and runners the battery right down. Mine is Dewalt mind. I you have a battery that is so far run down it won't charge have a look on YouTube using a couple of sort wires and a good battery you can make it good to charge again.

Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted May 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Cheers, lads. I don't know what I was thinking, coming here Before just asking the tube. Helping keep this place alive, I guess? Anyway, yeah; Would ye believe ye put it in a fukking vice?! Absolute simplicity, once Bruce here has finally shit the fukk up and shown ye!

chartpolski 20,414 Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 I thought it was the mechanical one that you hit with a hammer ! This is mine; Cheers. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted May 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Sorry, Charts ~ Was off, busy finishing the work removing that screw allowed me to! Aren't they a cracking little tool though?! I've never used one before. Had this one a year. Only now found a use for it. And, yes, as Bruce there says; One sharp tap and job's a good'n! Mine worked, just like that But, yeah, in order to (realistically?) turn the thing, Bruce takes the black end off. Pops the square end in a vice and uses that to hold it still, while he rotates the collar by hand. I never tried that without the vice. Probably never will, now. Because I don't really see them as quite the answer to putting In a screw. Certainly a superb thing for loosening a stuck in one though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I was ~ genuinely ~ musing on that today, as I gently shoved on my Stanley 'Yankee'. Thinking how I still get that satisfaction of feeling part of the job But, I was also musing how 1. I'm glad no fukker's paying me / I don't rely on what I'm up to to earn my living. And yet, 2. I'd love a hand / mate / little helper, just to go and fetch that fukking tool I now see I need, and which is back in the room I just got back from! Christ, it must be great to be able to say, " Can ye just go and fetch my red handled screw driver, please? " Or even, " Pass me That, please. " Me? I just have to sigh. Roll my eyes. Swear and fukking trudge! Hate it! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
