Mine is doing something similar. In all my years of owning the made in USA 18 volt tools I never once had an issue like this. And I used them daily for my business. Every day for years and years. Thank you for taking the time to make this. My impact is less than a year old. But I don’t want to send it in to Dewalt for service because I use this tool for work and don’t want to wait several weeks or months to get it back. It’s a chicken shit warranty compared to other tool companies. I feel like their new 20 volt tools are partially junk.
I’m trying to just spray WD40 around the trigger and now I’m going to use compressed air to try and blow out any debris. If my way doesn’t work I’ll take it all apart like what you did. So far it’s now working normal now since spraying the WD40 in the sides of the trigger and squeezing the trigger a few times. Evidently WD is supposed to be a good contact cleaner. Years back a friend of mine who is an auto mechanic was working on my truck for me and had always used it as a contact cleaner for ignition parts. Plus I’ve read online that it’s a good contact cleaner.
@@doctorlefthandthread Hi I wanted to give an update from earlier today. So far it has worked. I could tell when the WD took affect, I kept squeezing the trigger while pumping in the WD into the gaps around the trigger. The first two trigger squeezes, same low rpm. Then I squeezed it a few more times while spraying and it came to life. So I sprayed more in, let it soak in for 15 minutes and then used my compressor to blow any crap out of the vents and gaps around the trigger. So throughout the day I’ve been testing it by pulling the trigger and it works how it should now. Hopefully it fixed it. If not I’ll take it apart and follow what you did. Thank you again for making this vid.
