He might be in a position to sell you one of them and you could do a rebuild on it and have another Dewalt for your business. Having 2 of the same machine makes sense to me. Occurred to me after posting my comments. ALSO didn't put in, any time a fuse blows, its a piece of metal over heating and braking the connection. Checking wires should be right up there before plugging in another fuse. Wires can heat and melt the insulation, leaving bare wire. So many different problems with any electrical system. Overloading outlets with heaters during winter can smoke wires. Not a bad idea to open the outlet plates for any heavy amp machines or heaters and check to see if its black in there. Generally starts heating at the connection and can melt wire down the line. RJF OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold some stuff from an out by the name of PowerProbe that was great for electrical troubleshooting on automotive stuff. I've not sold anything for AC. I think that is exactly the brand I've seen most used for automotive. RJF OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJF They are a great company. I used to sell them and now my son is selling them. They are located not far from where I live. I used to go up to their place to get stuff repaired when one of my mechanics didn't quite understand how to use a PowerProbe and would fry it. They always repaired or replaced them for free or very cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOPS, thinking of sales to mechanics my brain turned to AC systems for cars. RJF Note; I would get an AC breaker finder that could handle 240 and 120. There are many that just do 120 with works for the week end home owner. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=220+volt+circuit+breaker+finder&ref=nb_sb_noss Edited February 19, 2021 by teachnlearn added note OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
