![]() ![]() I placed shrink wrap over the first section and then slid on another piece after soldering the hook-up wire to the other end of the resistor. I noticed recently that there was an entire 'ible on just this connection method (You can check it out here.and it is fine example of how to use a great title to get attention for a simple 'ible) I actually used the method taught me many years ago when I worked on defence contracts. I first soldered it to the Anode lead (The longer lead of a LED). I first worked out the spacing and positioning of the resistor, noticing that it would not be able to be inserted from the front and would have to be attached in-situ. (I have included a picture of the finished refurbished drill hanging on my belt). (I had tried just cutting it before but that was not feasible until reduced in diameter)įinally I covered the inside part of the screw with a sticky felt dot to insulate the end of the screw. Once it was in position and the clip was secure, using a pair of end cutters, I trimmed it to length. This was the quickest easiest was to ensure that the screw was evenly cut back.īefore the screw was cut all the way through I re-inserted it into the drill case. Then, with the drill running, I moved a saw blade along the screw to cut it back. I placed the screw into the chuck of a drill held in my workmate vise. When I checked the other side and saw that the screw protruded a very long way and would touch the motor. Next I mounted the clip, which uses a sort of keyhole method to enable it to go over the screw head and then slide down into place. I just used a brad awl to make the hole and then inserted in the retaining screw. Inside the case there was a moulded raised circle that seemed a great place to make the hole for the securing screw. I had actually done a little balancing test with the drill, before I disassembled it, to find the centre of gravity and therefore the best angle to have the belt clip. It is possible to buy genuine DeWalt clips for about $8 (£5) but I had a suitable clip from a broken tape measure that was ideal.
