Craftsman Electric Drill 31510113 2015: Chuck removal on a Craftsman power drill

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 17:21:51 -0700

I have a model 315. 101 100 that I bought many years ago. I would like to attach it to a Craftsman Dowling jig which requires the removal of the Chuck. Most Chucks unscrew counterclockwise once a screw is removed, from the barrel of the Chuck.

Using a bright light, I see no screw, nor hex nut to remove. The base of Chuck has two flattened sides so as to accept an incredible thin wrench 🔧. The wrench might have come with the drill when bought, but is presently absent, and local tool stores carry no such wrench.

What do you recommend ? Can I lock the Chuck on a 90° HEX wrench and strike it hard in a CCW direction ?

FixHub Smart Soldering Iron: Soldering Iron failed firmware update

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 16:09:01 -0700

I tried to update the firmware on my FixHub Soldering Iron. But the update failed partway through and now the iron seems bricked. It isn't recognized by either the Power Station or a computer.

Is there anyway to fix this?

This might be one of the worst updating features i have ever used. Not matter what i do. No matter what cable. No matter what version i cannot update my device to get it back to a usable state. Does anyone have any ideas on how i can get this soldering set back to working condition and not in a endless loop of failed updates

Ryobi Hammer Drill SDS65 2016: Correct sequence to assemble the transmission.

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 15:13:51 -0700

Hello community, recently I brought this Ryobi SDS65. Went I finally goin make the first use, I notice that rotary hamner mode wasn't engaging, the drill and the chissel mode works well. I proceed to openen and check the issue because I throw to the trash the box some weeks ago. Went I open the transmission chamber everything pop out 😑. I already found the issue (selector rod was jammed with him self), but due to the pop out of the assemblies, not know the correct position of the pieces. I do some reverse engineering and have some advances, but I stuck here, and went I try to putted back to the chamber, not fit well, soo I don't know if I assembled the pieces correctly and don't know the trick to assemble back to the chamber without everything dismount again and fit well.

Ryobi Cordless Stapler P360 2016: It stopped shooting staples.

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 10:19:00 -0700

It is a Ryobi Cordless Stapler P360, but I dunno' what year.

It makes the normal noise, but doesn't shoot a staple.

Sometimes makes the Click sound (like when pushing a staple)

but no staple comes out.

Battery is full. Air pressure dial is at almost maximum.

Light comes on intermittently.

I'd gladly take it apart before simply trashing it.

Is there a DIY fix I can attempt?

Thanks, people.
