  There are several possible reasons why your Hercules Impact Driver isn't starting. First, the Battery Pack may not be properly connected; remove it, ensure there are no obstructions, reinsert it correctly, and press firmly until it locks. Second, the Battery Pack may not be properly charged; ensure the charger is connected and working, and allow sufficient time for the Battery Pack to recharge. Third, the Battery Pack may be worn out and needs replacing. Finally, there could be internal damage or wear, requiring a technician to service the tool.

  Carl PetersenAug 13, 2025
  If your Hercules Impact Driver is overheating, it could be due to forcing the tool to work too fast; allow it to work at its own pace. Another possible reason is blocked motor housing vents. In this case, wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and a NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator, and use compressed air to blow dust out of the motor.
