Welcome to the forum.
The Owner's Manual on that 2707-20 M18 FUEL HOLE HAWG doesn't have any info, except bring it to a service shop.
This Parts Manual has LOTS of useful information that may assist in tracking down the problem for resolution.

A cordless electric snowblower will likely run out of "gas" w/ a normal sized property, decreasing the expected utility.
A corded electric snowblower should have a heavy duty extension cord and properly wired 15A or preferably 20A GFCI receptacle. The operation will require attention to the cord to avoid injestion into the auger.
Electric motors are great, w/ lots of torque.
The intentionally elevated Biden / Harris / Obama fuel prices fold over into electricity (plus inflation on everything else) so I would expect operation costs to be a wash between the possible fuel sources. One thing I noticed is my new gasoline lawnmower gets MUCH better fuel economy than my recently retired 25 year old mower, so new versus old will have a fuel savings.
Or just move here to southern Florida and retire the thoughts of blowing snow.

Welcome to the forum.
The low rpm symptom sounds like either the throttle plate is not fully open, the choke is partially closed or insufficient fuel is being provided.

Welcome to the forum.
Sorry for your loss.
Very cool tool.
My 100% speculation is a cool two sided adjustable wrench. My attempt at humor is: maybe metric on one side and SAE on the other.

Note that there is a CPSC recall on some serial numbers for this saw. The manufacturer reworked / repaired / marked affected serial numbers that have been corrected.
That CPSC link is in my previously linked topic.
Ensure proper / safe operation w/ this tool.

Welcome to the forum.
Good luck w/ your new table saw.
Here is my Ridgid R4511 topic. It may have useful information.
The Incra V27 Miter Gauge looks to be a very nice option that will fit into the 3/4" table grooves.
Uncertain if the Beismeyer fence will work in this application.
The blade guard is not available but there are nice aftermarket options, w/ lighting and vacuum options.

Nothing that large in diameter for wood in a name brand.
Here is a Makita set that goes up to ¼" diameter.

The two common sizes of SDS tools / bits are SDS Plus and SDS Max.
Which size is being sought for wood bits?

I think such a door will wear out too quickly. I would put one somewhere where no more than ten people will use it. If you want to equip this room for customers, you need to think about another type of door that will not break or crack in 2 years, you know.
Welcome to the forum.
The OP made this door for his customer's cabin. It is not a commercial application.
IMO the construction is beautiful and is infinitely superior and more durable than the pressed paper slurry hollow core doors that are being installed everywhere.
During a recent remodel I needed to install some door slabs. Several were the molded six panel paper slurry doors. Because of the dimensions and required features several needed to be wooden doors. The difference was WOW amazing (at a higher cost).
I would love to have doors made by the OP in my home!

Welcome to the forum.
Good plan.

This Milwaukee 48-89-4631 23-Piece Titanium Shockwave Drill Set remains in the toolbox w/ my DeWALT DCF887M2 20V MAX XR 3-Speed Impact Driver. These drill bits are impact rated by the manufacturer.
The impact driver works fine w/ these drill bits.
When I break a bit I just purchase a similar replacement. I have not found that Milwaukee sells identical bits individually, only as a set.

Welcome to the forum.
What happens if the steps defined in the Instruction Manual are followed for clearing a jammed nail?
FWIW @Flyer13is is not good form to reply to a dead topic and is better form to create a new topic for the current issue.

Welcome to the forum.
Could more specificity please be provided about the tool inquiry?
Is the tool something like a Dremel, a drill, a router, a small angle grinder, or something else?
If the objective is battery operation, then IMO, select a brand that will satisfy the objectives for the long term, to permit easy battery swaps across tools.
-
YW. For sure it goes through gasoline. Well worth consuming extra fuel to get the job done. I ensure to have a full fuel jug prior to starting my pressure washer projects.
IMO it is an incremental increase on the two Northern Tool pressure washers for the one w/ more power.
The only issues I experienced are that the transportation wheel tack weld failed attaching the axle hub to the wheel, requiring replacement (I don't weld anymore) and the safety valve deteriorated requiring replacement. The safety valve was operator error. It is a one time valve that opens under temperature or pressure, so now I idle or turn off the engine during a long pause, instead of making bypass heat that cooks that valve.
-
WRT to automotive transportation, placing the previously linked pressure washer in the SUV cargo area is a two person job. I can remove it myself.
My 4,000 PSI / 3.5 GPM w/ the previously linked turbo nozzle removes everything from the surface w/ little effort.
The washer is loud, so I point the exhaust in an acceptable direction. The audible noise is bad when standing near the exhaust and is no issue when working in the area.
No idea on the Home Depot tool at half the cost w/ identical specs. IMO there is a reason for the significantly lower cost.
-
No Idea on those other pressure washers.
This Northern Tool pressure washer is an updated but otherwise identical version of the tool I purchased long ago.
This turbo nozzle is the only nozzle I use w/ the tool. I also only use a single 100' hose.
-
The 4,000 PSI 3.5 GPM Cat 66DX pump in my Northern Tools Honda 13 hp GX pressure washer has been a problem free performer for decades.

Cool. Thanks for sharing.
Click save and a side by each of new DCF850 to a DCF887. FWIW, here is my DCF887 topic.
Eyeball measurement looks identical dimension from trigger face to rear surface.
Everything else got smaller. The gear box behind the chuck is smaller and the motor is smaller.
Interesting that there is now a couple degree head tilt, likely so the battery doesn't prevent the head from reaching the work surface.
Nice job DeWALT!

Welcome to the forum.
Interesting idea.
A detriment to that plan is tools that would last longer than your lifetime will be abused by people renting and the life will be single digit or low two digit cycles.
Also, quick / easy / inexpensive repairs will be part of the business plan.
A broken dethatcher may cost more than $20 in parts to fix.
Another option is to sell tools on Offer Up, eBay or Craig's List that are no longer required. Many of my tools arrive and leave from me using these sites.

I feel your pain...
Been through all those steps, except the ultrasonic cleaner is mine and is used to all sorts of chemicals.
My 40 year old Snapper Hi Vac finally gave up the ghost, so I just purchased my first lawnmower and am loving my Toro Model 21386 self propelled 21" walk behind.

There has never been a drill press included in my personal arsenal. One of my current projects is to install and configure a 8’x12’ Lark end gable Accusteel Lumberjack box eave shed to be my workshop. The construction on this shed is amazing and is very secure. It will have no problem resisting the hurricane force winds that can hit southern Florida. It is secured into the Earth w/ auger screws and bolts.
My workshop shed will be setup for my personal projects. To that end this used Porter Cable PCXB620DP 10 inch bench drill press was purchased used for the projects that will benefit from a drill press instead of a hand drill.
This tool has lots of great features: 5” overhang (for drilling in the center of 10" diameter pieces) on ½” keyed chuck spindle; five belt/pulley-selected speeds, from 610 rpm to 2800 rpm; two AA battery powered LED work light; hand crank cast iron work table w/ ±45° tilt; 2” chuck travel w/ adjustable stop with spring return; integrated chuck key holder and 3.2A / 0.4hp 120VAC motor. The cast iron work table measures 6½" wide by 7½" deep and extends 8½" away from the upright column. The table may rotate 360° around the upright column.
One thing I wanted to add is a small drill press vise w/ appropriate attachment bolts for safe / secure / appropriate work piece retention. The seller threw in a smooth jaw vise and I had a serrated jaw vise.
I purchased a pair of ½-13 x 1-3/4" Grade 8 flange bolts and these waaay cool 4” forged iron lever wing nuts for retaining the vise to the table (too bad the entire batch of those lever nuts has sold out, but VERY glad I got a pair first). The forging tooling line on these lever nuts was filed away, the exterior surface sanded smooth and the exterior was painted w/ Rustoleum Professional High Performance Enamel Spray Paint. This setup permits quick / easy / secure vise placement.
The drill press base has a pair of 3/8" diameter holes for bolting to the work surface. This permits secure operation, then storage until the next usage is required.
All of these features make this tool ideally suited to my applications.

YW.
No idea on other pressure washers.
My speculation is they are now calling the identical machine as a 4,200 psi where my older machine was called a 4,000 psi, using the same engine and same pump.
Mine has an inline pressure gauge I added and it always showed over 4,000 psi.
Yes, I only use turbo nozzle. Yes, I never use chemicals, just cold water. There are zero chemicals required that will remove something from a surface that won't come off w/ 4,000 (4,200) psi and a turbo nozzle.
Note that a turbo nozzle is a pinpoint jet nozzle that rapidly spins on a small arc.
It will blast anything / everything off the surface.

Welcome to the forum.
The 4,000 psi 3.5 gpm pressure washer w/ Honda engine and CAT pump I have used for well over a decade on home usage has been a problem free workhorse, with one exception. The wheels have hubs attached by welding to the face. That weld has broken twice, requiring wheel assembly replacement. Mine is a Northern Tool device. Mine is functionally similar to this device.
IMO bleach is not required for pressure washing. Water at this pressure doesn't need bleach.
If bleach is going to be used then a 2-3 gallon hand pump dispenser is a good option. This is likely for spot or area treatment and runoff will be very extremely localized, if at all.
Note that the optional CAT turbo nozzle is the best / only attachment that I use. I have fingers remaining when I manually count the other nozzles that I have used.

@DianaWelcome to the forum.
It may be a while before the OP @JerryNYreturns to see the great questions that were posed about his 2016 topic, so I'll jump in...
Like most projects, start w/ a vision and a budget, or at least a budget.
Seat of the pants, for a total kitchen remodel, plan on something like $20K, it can be more or less depending on lots of factors. Usually the big hit are the cabinets. On my last total kitchen remodels I used Jarlin Cabinetry and their Dove White Shaker style. I love the quality and construction on these cabinets.
My latest kitchen is shown in this reply. Not a professional, but I "swing the hammer" on our rental properties.
Our daughter has the vision, I supply the grunt. She helps and is AMAZING with tiling, where I am her assistant.
There are online planning tools. Home Depot can also be helpful. Start w/ the kitchen dimensions, especially including the plumbing supply and drain position, as plumbing relocation may be intimidating to many. Documenting the oven power / gas position and the under cabinet microwave position is also important to avoid having to possibly relocate.

Milwaukee 2707-20 Hole Hawg
in Power Tools
Posted
Good that shocking the tool restored normal operation.
On my old Milwaukee 0224-1 drill the gear case grease had gotten funny over the years, so I disassembled, cleaned and properly lubricated w/ the correct grease, as-shown in this topic.
The previously linked parts manual shows the correct lubrication for that tool. If performed properly then there is only good that will result from that preventative maintenance.
