roadhog96 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 It's all your fault, you guys talked me into it, Yup I bought the multi tool kit. Put the battery in it last night, unlocked it, pulled the trigger and it started right up. Forward and reverse work with variable speed trigger. LED came on for 20 seconds then went out. Tried the attachments they fit perfect. Everything works like its suppose to. Locked the trigger and slid it back into the plastic bag that it came in. The LED light came on for about a second inside the bag while I was holding the grip. I pulled the tool out of the bag and checked the trigger, it was locked, shook it, turned it upside down, wiggled the battery, no LED light came on. Slid it back into the plastic bag and the LED light came back on for a second again. Wiggled the tool inside the bag and the LED light came on for a second several more times and blinded me the last time because I had it facing up. Took it out of the case today and went through the same routine as last night. Put it in the bag to show the wife and it wouldn't do it. She thinks I'm nuts and my only witness is the cat. WTH?

Nordraw Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Take it back while you still can and see if a new one does the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadhog96 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I tried it again tonight and the LED light came on 3 times for a split second each time only when I rubbed the plastic bag against the body of the tool after I ran it and the LED went off. Somehow the plastic bag and dry air is helping the bag to create a static charge within the tool body and is causing the LED to light momentarily. It won't light on its own unless I rub it with the plastic bag. I don't have any other explanation. This is the weirdest thing I ever heard of. I know LED's take very little power to make them light.
