I recently purchased a Makita RW01R1 12V cordless ratchet and i love the tool. However i have an issue with my direction switch. It tends to pop into the middle setting when using to remove or install a fastener ( motor will keep running but head wont turn until i pop the switch back into place). Normally this wouldn’t be an issue but on a lock tighted or rusty fastener, the direction switch will pop to the middle 4 or 5 times before the fastener is fully removed or installed . Does anyone else have this problem? If so what is the fix?
