I wanted to poll the group here and see how long your batteries have lasted in the tool setter. When I first got my machine set up about 2-3 months ago everything worked fine and the tool setter was lighting up nicely. Today the battery was dead with the light no longer working. I swapped the internal battery and its up and working again.
I am curious if maybe my battery was already failing or if this will be a 2-3 month swap I need to do.
I didn’t know it was battery operated, was wondering why my light was going very dim!
The battery only powers the light. The setter still works.
My battery goes dead after about 3-4 weeks.
I’ve changed it once of twice. Now I don’t bother.
I saw someone post about it - that it serves very little practical purpose, which I agree with. The light illuminates at the exact moment where you can no longer react to a problem with the tool setter.
