i have a sawzall tool and i need to get a rear spindle bearing because the blade can't be held straight. i have looked at hundreds of tool photos and have not seen this one. so maybe someone here can help me find the make and model and maybe the parts listing so i can look up the part and maybe ebay one. you see in the photo the rear spindle bearing is wallowed out. it has no name on it. i got it used about 15 years ago and it was bad back then but i also have 2 battery saw and i struggled using those with the batterys going flat and finally got this one out of the dust shelf and tried to cut some 2x6 lumber around a fence i was repairing and i just could not cut a straight line with this tool. the battery tools did cut straight but i ran out of batterys it too 4 batterys to get halfway thru one side.

i have the harbor freight 18 volt power tools and for years you could get the 18 volt ni cd battery pack and now they have seemed to just vanish. so i went to ebay to see if i could find any sellers selling them and not much but for used packs. so anyway i see tons of sellers welling the porter cable type battery packs in the 18 volt ni cd battery pack so i get one and it turned out to be a ni mi battery. so i ask all the listings that say ni cd and then they all reply back telling me they are ni mh batteries. so i get a charger and build an adapter for the ni mh battery in a harbor freight case to charge and it just is not charging well. it may be the charger or the adapter i made that is not working. so now what i think i may try if i can find an adapter that will let me charge the porter cable battery in the porter cable charger and then use that porter cable battery in the harbor freight tools. so can then start getting the ebay batteries and 3 adapters and be able to at least get more life out of these still good tools. so can any direct me to a place that has the adapters that will fit into the harbor freight tool and be able to use the porter cable batteries? thanks for any help the porter cable batteries i'm looking at are these to adapt to the harbor freight power tools that use these porter cable batteries. the harbor freight model s the chicago electric model Compatible Brand:: For Porter Cable Voltage: 18 V Model: PC188 Type:: Battery Compatible Model:: PCC489N PC188 PCMVC PCXMVC Compatible Model 1:: PC18SS, PC18JR,PC18JS,PC18FL,PCC581B

i have the harbor freight line of 18 volt tools, i did have ryobi but years ago and when i needed new batteries they cost more than the tools so i went back to h-f. anyway it seems h-f does not carry this tool now and i do not want to start a new tool lime collection. so i got me 2 batteries for a porter cable tool so i could take the batteries out and put them in my h-f battery packs. so the porter cable batteries get here and they are nimh batteries, my h-f are nicd. so now i have to find a charger that will charge both battery types to a full charge and if possible let me keep a battery in the charger and not drain the battery like the h-f charger does. so before anyone tells me they will not fit i know. i will build an adapter. to make them fit. that is the easy part. so does anyone here know what charger will charge both the nicd and the nimh batteries to a full charge and also allow me to keep a battery in the charger to maintain it? this way i do not have to go to the garage and take out the battery i can just leave it there until i happen to get out to the garage. when i had the ryobi tool it seems to me that charger would charge the nicd and the ly ion batteries but i do not remember if it would do the nimh batteries. i had 2 types the ly ion and 1 other and 1 charger but i sold that system and now i do not remember. thanks
