Roll pin fell out and allowed detent pin to fall out from anvil on dewalt 1/2 impact, spring flying into the distance, then i lost the detent.

Cleaned hole
Inserted spring then detent pin
held pin and spring with vice grips
hammer in roll pin
because roll pin was not perfectly round it wouldn't seat all the way, so grind off excess to allow socket to slide past

Time Spent Repairing:

15-30 minutes

Tools Used:

Pliers, vise, 2mm pin punch

Socket kept falling off electric impact tool

Hardest part was finding the correct pin punch to remove what was left of the 2mm soll pin that keeps the detent and spring in. Didn't have one so had to make one. After that was easy repair. Once again a pleasure to use my old Black and Decker "Professional" Electric Impact gun, without the socket falling off and rolling under the car. I've had it for nearly forty years and it still works great!
