Reviving an Electric Shear

I know what you may be thinking. "Why would anyone want to convert a cordless tool into a corded one?"  Well for starters, the batteries in this tool has terrible battery life and replacing it is too costly and troublesome. And secondly, as the batteries quickly deplete, the power of the tool goes way down making continual usage frustrating and pointless because I can only get about 3 minutes tops usage out of it before it needs recharging again.

So a quick and easy solution to solve that problem is to change the power source from DC from the batteries to AC from the wall socket.

Step 1 Materials

Here is a list of the tools you will need:

• Screwdriver
• Soldering Iron
• Solder wire
• Short piece of electrical wire
• Helping hands (optional)

*Dependent on the type of shear you have, you may also need a more powerful AC adapter.
