Welcome to the forum.
Examining the XPH07Z tool looks like that clamp has probably grabbed tightly onto the tool collar ribs and doesn't want to release.
Why not replace the handle, screwing most of the way into the clamp, then sharply strike the end of the handle w/ a hammer to see if it breaks free? Put a 2x4 scrap between the hammer and the tool to avoid marring the tool.

Welcome to the forum.
It looks like the hinge part number 1609B00331 is stuck, shown in parts manual.
Disassemble, clean and lightly lubricate? Is there a stuck spring loaded detent pin?

Assuming the brushes have been inspected?
Assuming the armature commutator is clean / intact?
Assuming the switch has been inspected?
Assuming the tool has been periodically disassembled, cleaned and properly lubricated?

Welcome to the forum.
Assuming that the required bit lubrication is being manually applied to ensure the tool is properly maintained.
My Bosch SDS Max tool has been a solid performer.

Guessing from the tip length and diameter, that tool is used for setting the rail fasteners to the sleepers.

Welcome to the forum.
Here is that tool zoomed larger.
The "chainsaw" appears to drive a reciprocating drive.
The triangle appears to have two 2" slides and a third rod w/ an ell handle.
Still don't know how this is used when setting metro train tracks.

Rock won't tamp down like dirt or sand.
Use an upside down stiff rake or a sideways boot motion to "level" the rocks.

Welcome to the forum.
There are some really nice miter saws available.
In my case I found a decent 10" used one, tweaked and repaired some minor issues, now this thing is accurate and reliable for almost nothing in out of pocket cost.

This page has info on that subject, including a cool video link to how Starrett combination squares are manufactured.

Welcome to the forum.
This Bosch OMT blade has a 2.4" cut depth.
This 9" reciprocating saw blade will make a deep plunge cut through wood.
Uncertain from the description if these will work for the application.

Welcome to the forum.
According to the linked instruction manual, on page 12 / 14, the right light will flash continuously if a nail becomes jammed in the nose piece.
Has the prescribed procedure been followed for clearing a nail jam? If so, what were the results?

Welcome to the forum.
Follow normal diagnostic procedures to identify the problem.
If the switch is receiving power from the cord, the the switch should be tested to verify power is provided to the output when the switch is turned on.
The brushes may be removed and inspected. Also inspect the commutator on the armature while the brushes are out.
Here is a parts listing for that tool.

Be aware that chainsaw kickback is a concern when used in this fashion. The tip / blade will be in dirt / rocks, in addition to the wood. Extensive cleaning / lubrication especially on the tip wheel, blade groove and chain will help reduce the wear from this operation mode.
Note that another option is mushroom stump removal. I have used this with acceptable results in several instances.
For tools like this I frequently purchase used, such as with Craig's List, Offer Up or eBay.

Welcome to the forum.
Do the symptoms exist when using a different battery?

Welcome to the forum.
That compressor has a one year warranty, so maybe they can resolve the problem.

Welcome to the forum.
Why not just swap the entire switch w/ different part that fits okay? Something like this part?

Welcome to the forum.
My expectation is that those tools, stored outdoors, covered with a tarp will rust and degrade. It sounds like other options don't exist, so make the best of the situation.
Given that the majority of our population lives in a disposable society, then this deterioration w/ eventual replacement is acceptable.
My motto has been "take care of your tools and they will take care of you". The 40+ year old tools I purchased new are going strong, as are those I inherited from my parents and grandparents.
An enclosure, such as a shed, will be better than a tarp.

Welcome to the forum.
The solution provided by DeWALT is a tool bag. That may be the only reasonable option because of the width of the tool.
This topic shows by custom TSTAK II OMT case w/ custom cut Kaisen foam inserts.
When I purchased additional tools that arrive in bags, I yank the inserts from this case to determine if it will fit, permitting a similar solution. None have fit. My linked reply includes interior dimensions, permitting a manual fit evaluation.
New and used DeWALT tool bags are available, such as on eBay.
WRT to dust, I keep my tools clean w/ WD-40, paper towels and a tooth brush (I use the wife's tooth brush). It keeps the tools nice and also the cases.

Welcome to the forum.
Proper price selection is a difficult step.
When I am selling I use the active listings in Offer Up, eBay and Craig's List to discover what is being offered for sale to others in my area.
The condition on the listings is compared to my item, for scaling up and down.
All known defects are always listed, images and a quick inspection during the transaction don't always identify issues prior to the all-sales-final cash deal.

Most 'fridge models locate the shared cooling plate (w/ the Freon) between the freezer and the refrigerator compartments, providing greater cold surface area for a smaller volume to make the freezer colder.
Even if the other physical barriers are removed, that cold plate is still a physical barrier, so the freezer area will always be colder.
It may be possible to decrease the thermal stratification by adding internal circulation fans to move air between the compartments.
The thermostat monitors / regulates the temperature on one compartment, for single compressor systems (most 'fridges) and the setpoint range will not permit selection of 50°F to 60°F. Depending on the thermostat, I have had success by physical modification to shift the range. In my case I added a spacer to the capillary tube sensing path.

Pages 9 + 10 of the Owner's Manual show setting the two bevel stops, for 90° and for 45°.
Is the 45° stop set incorrectly, preventing the correct angle?

After always respecting your knowledge and your posts, what would lead to your concluding that this is a good idea?
An online search did not reveal any web pages showing how this would / could freshen a battery.
