I want to run this drill at the end of a 250' AWG 10 extension cord. How much voltage drop can this tool tolerate?

Most ac motors will run with a +/- 10%. Quick calculations say you drop will only be 2.3%. You should be just fine.

Can 2 chest freezers be plugged into a 100' extension cord and freeze properly?

Use an oversized AWG cord, e.g. #12, #10 AWG to avoid voltage drop in the cord. I guess each unit needs 5 amps for total of 10 amps when both run at once.
With a 14 Gage cord (0.5 ohm @ 200' wire) and with both units starting up at same time, the current (amps) draw is 60 amps (6x running current) and 1800 watts, the 1800 watts consumed by the cord, this power dissipated as heat. The 1800 divided by the 60 ( watts/amps = volts) years a voltage drop of 30 volts, at start up of the two compressor motors if at 5 amps flc (full load current). This scenario with a 14 gage, 100' cord is problem bound so a thicker wire cord is needed to keep voltage drops within 10% of the load's rated voltage. Use a 10 or 12 Gage cord or two separate cords.

Replace power cable 8406c

just grab a short extension cord and open up the drill and cut the female end off the extension cord and either solder it in or crimp it in if that seems doable. If it runs in reverse switch the wires.

Keeps blowing internal breaker

The unit rated at 3 HP at 115 volts draws 13.8 amps is odd, a HP in watts is 745 and should be about 2200 watts and 19 amps plus a efficiency loss. Odd to see the ratings don't jive with electric theory/formulas.
The compressor should be connected directly to the wall and if using an extension cord, the cord needs to be #12 AWG or larger to avoid line voltage loss and over amping of the motor.
Here is contact and support info: For more information, please call 800/4-MAKITA (800/462-5482) or visit makitatools.com.
My bottom line is, A 115V motor circuit needs 10 amperes per horse power or 30 amp circuit for 3 horse power. Using extension cords calls for upgrade in wire gage of the cord. The advantage of using 230 volts is it cuts the amperes in half and allows use of smaller gage wire. Watts, or volt amperes is the product of volts and amps.

I have the 919.167320 and it keeps tripping the breaker on start up. It must have tripped it 10 times last night. I have it on a 20 Amp breaker. If I cut the switch off and let the tank get down to 40 lbs...

There is a voltage drop, excessive voltage drop in the circuit.
Anything else on that circuit?
Is the circuit wire size #12 awg thru the complete circuit to the outlet?
Any extension cords being used?
Voltage drop is found in high amperage loads. A motor needs about six times the motors rated full load amps value. Drops found in long runs of wire, in loose connections, in smaller Gage wire than needed.
The power outlet in the garage for the compressor may need the next size wire, #10 AWG. Try using a circuit breaker rated for air conditioning use, they have a trip delay.

I need find an extension with four holes to plug in

you need an electrician to come in and run a 240 volt line for you behind the dryer so you can plug the dryer into it,even if it were a gas dryer it's not wise to be using any other cords other than the cord that's on the machine,if you already have a plug there set up for a 4 prong cord you can buy a new cord anywhere,home depot,hardware store or appliance parts store but you don't want to use any extention cord

Howdy, I am willing to confirm what I believe you already know; it's cooked. Now about fixing it You can do it yourself with bosch parts for almost the cost of the drill, or have it done for somewhere between free and ? by Bosch depending on how long you have had it. Bosch has a prorate form of warranty repair that sometimes works out really well.

Whichever way you choose to go, this link will help you it get dealt with pretty darn quickly:

Roof top air won't come on

If you are running the AC on an extension cord it can cause such voltage drop that a fuse or breaker can blow, in extreme conditions it can damage electrical connections. Always use extension cords that are as short as possible and replace the cord ends (especially the female end) whenever they lose clamping force. A heavy duty cord end takes much more effort to plug in the male end and to plug things into the female end. Over the counter extension cords for your purpose should be no less than 12/3 with heavy duty (20 amp) ends and no more than 50' long, if you must go farther you should use a 10/3 cord.
