How To Fix A Broken Kobalt 40V Blower

The battery will NOT LOCK in the blower.
In this video I show my 40 Volt Kobalt blower and the broken battery lock switch. I repair the plastic battery lock and the disassemble the blower to replace the fixed battery lock latch. After replacing the battery lock I reassemble the blower and give it a quick test.

i like your way of thinking. thanks for sharing your repair !

You are welcome, I wish all of my repair ideas worked but I will take the ones that do.

You only need to remove the black handle not the blue tube.
Also if you loose the small tavs you can use plastic tubing

Yea I realized I could have just removed the black handle when I was editing the video, but when I do not know how something comes apart, I just start taking screws out and try not to break any plastic tabs along the way, Thanks for the comment.

Quit griping. Mine quit working after 20 uses over a years time. Im positive its the switch

Wow you got the short end of the stick, I had mine several years before it went bad.
