What Adapter Will I Need?

[wolf63]

I have an electric screwdriver that I need to use, but I can’t find the plug-in adapter to charge the batteries.

This is a picture of the information page for the screwdriver, could some kind soul please pick an adapter for me from Amazon (Prime if possible).

I do have similar plugs in the house but none seem to have the correct numbers/voltage or the right fitting at the other end of the wire.

Thanks for any help ☺☺☺

Something like this...

Amazon.co.uk User Recommendation

There are a number of similar items. I picked this one at random, but if you are sensitive about price, quality of workmanship and so on, you may want to choose a different one

I have something similar in which it is possible to adjust the output voltage (you need 6V), and use the appropriate-sized plug, and then you can reverse the polarity to suit the device.

Good luck!

Thanks for the link, but it looks a little too complicated for me. Your last paragraph was a little too complicated. I really am that thick.

Hi Wolf. It's really not that complex.

You order one of those.
1. select the right size plug for the screwdriver
2. switch the selector dial on the mains plug to 6V
3. Attach the plug you selected in step 1 to the end of the cable.
4. plug the mains thing into the mains
5. plug the adapter into the screwdriver.
6. Switch on the mains

Does it charge the screwdriver?

If yes, it's all good.

If no, unplug the screwdriver and switch off at the mains
Then go to step 3 and attach the adaptor the other way around

Repeat steps 4, 5, 6.

Should be all good :)

If that is too difficult, you'll have to tell us the size of the socket on the screwdriver.

Is it a Lidl one? I have one of those and might be able to indentify a suitable, dedicated adaptor

Buy a screwdriver. No parts to lose.

Thanks for your answer, the screwdriver is from Sainsburys. I will have a look at your Amazon link in the morning.

Thanks for your pathetic input.

I have ordered the adapter, no doubt the original one will surface ...
