Can I purchase a new fan blade for my NS 118 cordless blower?

can I just buy the plastic fan and nut?

Unfortunately Black & Decker does not offer the fan as a replacement part. The main blower unit is only offered as an assembly.

Thanks,

I also have a B&D 18v blower that the fan has shattered during normal use.
BAD enough that I keep replacing batteries every other year - now the blower has shattered and you won't sell me just the $10 replacement part? What gives?
HOOTYDOIT :mad:

If the battery has been charged 24 - 48 hours AND the charger is working properly, the battery is dead or the bearings on the motor are shot causing an undue load on the motor. The charger should measure 18-20 volts when measured by a volt meter.

Ditto on the fan. This thing is now a Chinese paper weight.

I need a fan as well. It just flew apart one day. No one seems to have them.

Yeah, the clear plastic fan is a piece of junk. The fan should be brass. It will strip out, not because of heat or abuse. It will eventually just fail. The rest of this item is built like a tank, albeit a plastic tank. Good motor, great design. Crappy plastic fan. If they don't want to get hit on item returns from Kmart or Wal-mart, they need to fix that problem.

Yep, clear plastic fan problem here too. Got a blower and no fan....sheeeze! I'll see what other brands there are.

Yet another case of the clear plastic fan blade blues here as well. Interesting that you can't purchase a $2.00 plastic part that threads on. I guess that's too difficult a repair for us "end-consumers"; we need to utilize an authorized B&D repair facility for such a complex task. Shame on B&D for making such a part from brittle plastic AND for not making a replacement part available.
