JJ0063 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Bought a Dewalt multi tool from the car boot a few weeks ago. Finally got a battery for it and it doesn’t work - however I’ve found the issue and it would appear a simple fix for someone who knows what they are doing… not me. See pics - not sure if it’s broken or just come out, if I push the wire back in the plug the tool works fine but it won’t stay in place. Is there a simple way to fix/secure it?

GingerNuttz Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Need crimps and the wee connectors to replace it or buy the connectors and solder it on to the wire. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313&_nkw=XH2.54+connectors&_sacat=0 JJ0063 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll see if I can find something else to rob a cut of the loom if it’s pretty universal, if not I’ll order that. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepper motors or that use the same connectors if you happen to have any. JJ0063 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can find is an old car stereo loom. Either of these plugs any use for me to get the pin out? I can solder the wire on no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerNuttz Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Nah they look different, I reckon those ones will be similar to atx psu ones. Could solder the wire straight to the pin if you can solder well enough,as long as you don't need to take the wire back off. just snip that side of the connector off to make space for the newly soldered wire.

Thanks! I did wonder whether that would be an option but I can’t see how I’d get to solder it.. I only have a run of the mill soldering iron and can’t see how I’d access.. I think I’ll have to just order a set like you’ve linked Cheers GingerNuttz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ0063 Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 Temporary fix, pushed it back in to place and stuck some epoxy round it.. working a treat I’ll order a set and replace the pin eventually but to get the multi tool and 2 drills for £5 on the car boot sale im chuffed. Probably stolen but who knows! IMG_6365.MOV GingerNuttz and Popsicle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
