when i found deans channel, i was already fixing tools for myself and others. his channel is growing pretty fast because hes teaching/showing people to rely on themselves to fix problems. people have lost so many life skills thru the on demand/consumer lifestyle we all have given into. its so much of a better feeling fixing something you own as theres a feeling of accomplishment. going out and buying something because something broke has that hollow feeling. at least for me. its not faster but it is cheaper and more fulfilling reaping the rewards of working with your hands. when i have to order parts, i get 3-5 depending on the part. tools i use alot, i keep extras . when i come to tools, i dont throw anything way until all the parts are used. use what dean is teaching/showing you on all your tools at home. theres channels for small gas powered equipment also. relearn some life skills on how to be self reliant and then pass those on. we could change our throw away/consumer society the more people learn....relearn how to do things for themselves. thank you, dean.

[@Jihadbearzwithgunz]

Yep I fix all of my own electronics and find these videos informative and entertaining.. cause he does it the right way.. and actually gets a proper diagnosis of the tools .

Your ability to almost instantly diagnose the problem blows my mind.

[@AdrianW447]

As someone who has an interest in power tools, I was scouring KZbin and came across your channel. I really enjoy your commentary as you carry out the repairs and have indeed learnt a lot in the short time I've been watching your videos. Keep up the excellent work.

[@jdmccorful]

Great Service Seminar! Love the rotary hammer repairs/teardowns. Almost all of the Dewalts were pretty well worn out. I think they got their money out of them. Always enjoy!

[@xoxo2008oxox]

I know an engineer that replaced the cells in his dead 18V dewalt battery, and like you said, total over 20 hours work and that was with hot air station, spot welder, part research, ordering cells, take apart, documenting wires/leads, and testing. He wanted to see the viability and of two he repaired, one eventually failed with a thermal event. Which is why its not wise to open and work on the batteries. Drop off dead ones to recycler/big box and get replacement. Nothing like having a tool catch fire in your van because you opted for knockoff or repaired battery. Great take down and explanation of issues with the tools!

[@anton-eg1hh]

The newer flexvolt batteries have fuzes and 1Kohm rezistors along the flexible ribon to the battey cells, you can repalce damaged cells with a spot welder, and replace the faulty componets, people paralel them with working batteries to get the voltage up, that damages them, you need to go slow

[@gungnir722]

i peel the 18650s out and use the good ones individually in other stuff. theres a nice braun magnetic base flashlight at harbor freight that takes them and i have a bunch of those stashed around my house and shop as they are very handy

[@default9740]

I’ve found the Flexvolt batteries have a longer lifespan if given a top-up charge just before use, especially if they’re likely to be fully drained in use (eg in a mower or chainsaw). Mathias Wandel has a good video on KZbin explaining the rationale behind it. Haven’t had one fail since putting this into practice.

[@1978JonBullock]

I've watched that many of dean's videos that I'm now figuring some of the faults as soon as he puts the tool on the bench.

[@rasungod0]

In America and Canada they call their batteries 20V and 60V. Which is more than nominal voltage so it is probably better for you that they call them something closer to their actual voltage.

[@MichaelWilhelm-tf8vy]

Thanks so much Dean for sharing your knowledge. I‘m much into the old ELU carpenter tools, as I grew up with them and still have quite a few, especially planers and routers. The oldest router is from 1974 and still in use in the workshop. Only bearings and brushes keeps her running. Cheers from Germany.

[@DarkMetaOFFICIAL]

Whoooaaa long episode!!! Time to get comfortable 😂🤘

[@MrArcticPOWER]

We've been running these Dewalt 54v tools/batteries since around 2018 and so far, 2 dead 6ah batteries and 2 dead 9ah ones if I remember correctly. We're a team of 3-4 carpenters. I did manage to save one. It didn't want to take a charge, so I took it appart and rebalanced every cells. It's been working fine ever since. They sure break more often than their 18v batteries, but I still think they are worth buying because there's nothing else on the market with the same power and they're a lot cheaper than the XGTs.

[@cristianstoica4544]

I love it when there is a tool that is fixable in a decent budget with a service kit. The opposite is also true. It's a tough job designing fixable and affordable tools but the toolmakers should try harder. It is not an excuse to design throwaway tools because everyone else does it. Thanks for making the videos.

[@nathanhazlehurst484]

The Bosch hammer drill I was panicking just watching all the parts coming off of it. Lost 10 seconds in putting that thing back together.

[@ElMariachi1337]

Impressive job on the Bosch full servicing, you made it look fairly easy; that spring ring in the hammerpipe is not my friend at all, they also use them in the smaller GBH2 series. Most of the time we just send the bigger machines to Bosch for service due to time management and not having the spare parts in stock.

Excellent video once again!! Dean, maybe this will save you some time on Makita's.

[@UnCoolDad]

Always enjoyable to watch. Glad to see that right to repair is still alive and well in the power tool arena, but somehow, I'm wondering how long before the manufacturers decide to clip and glue these tools together rather than use screws - hence making them much more difficult, if not impossible to fix - rendering them disposable rather than repairable or serviceable. That's how all other products seem to be going these days - or just by making spares unavailable or too expensive.

Amazing video yet again👍🏻 I wonder if you can advise… I have a DCS565 saw and when I pull the trigger I get a single flash from the LED and no blade movement. The blade does stiffen slightly but then frees up when I turn it a little. I’ve cleaned out all the dirt and dust busy that’s the limit of my knowledge. Any pointers? Cheers

[@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel]

Could you not use the contacts on the 54V battery to replace the 18V contacts?

[@Spencer481]

Is there a reason besides plan obsolescence that some manufacturers choose to make the switch impossible to replace individually on tools?

[@jeffhunt]

Hey Dean Couldn't see real well - could you just replace the bad connector only in those large Dewalt batteries using a donor battery - Couldn't see how it attached to internal board? Cheers

[@ElMariachi1337]

Issue with the newer generation batteries is they are controlled by a circuit board, if this board detects a fault it will just lock the battery from working as a safety measurement. Even if you fix the problem (in this case swap the connector) it will still be locked from working by the controller. For now there doesn't seem to be a solution to reset the controller. I only have experience on Makita batteries though, but I assume Dewalt ones work in the same way.

[@user-hb1ln7kh1v]

[@plunder1956]

May I ask how you deal with mounting a camera above your working area, without it obstructing either your hands or the light on the work, as you move around the workshop. Tripods always get in the way and using a clamp on a shelf or stand of some kind all lead to some kind of restrictions or unwanted shadows.

[@aaron.silveira]

Good to hear your opinions about the dewalt 54v batteries. Have you found similar problems with Makita’s 40v (36v) xgt?

[@deandohertygreaser]

I have not had and faulty makita 40v batteries yet, nor have i heard of anyone having problems with them. Now they are not as common here as the 18v, but still. I havnt heard of them failing yet

[@lucasdominguezandamoyo6245]

Hi Dean, wich liquid are you using for cleanig? thankyou in advance.

[@markmawson1]

DeWalt make me laugh with them 54v grinders they don't sell the internals separately but underneath that heat shrink there is 2 connector plugs detaching the stator from the controller and screws attaching wires to the trigger from the rest of it.

[@MrZimmaframe]

Dean or anyone, can you give me advice on which brand to go for? We are a farm, all weather work, and so we want a 18v combi drill, angle grinder and impact driver, maybe down the road an sds drill too. Dewalt generally seems the cheapers per tool but seems like a lot burn out in test videos. Makita seem good, refined, but most expensive. Milwaukee, most powerful but not as refined, reliability seems up and down. Some tools cheaper, some most expensive.

[@nymphdown-ws9gy]

Makita! Only repeat tools with problems are their 24, 18 and 16 gauge 18 volt nailers that I repair. Which ever brand you go with "GET THE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB". Don't expect a hammer/drill/driver to drill numerous holes in concrete, get a sds plus or sds max (depending on hole size). Hope this helps.

[@MrLuigge]

what do you use to clean the oil parts? Just water and soap or some special solution?

Kerosene he uses, commonly used here in Ireland as it’s cheap and great for cleaning and degreasing

[@marceloccraul]

Which brand has the most maintenance? Dewalt, Makita or Bosch? I ask because I'm about to exchange all my Bosch corded tools for a battery-powered brand, but the durability and quality of the equipment leaves me in doubt.

[@deandohertygreaser]

Dewalt generally require the most maintanence. But still make very good tools. And they can be repaired when needed. Bosch is also very good but have limited range. Makita js my go to brand

[@marceloccraul]

​@@deandohertygreaserThanks, I'm really leaning towards Makita.

[@AJVAN_]

You can replace cells in batterirs?

He would require to strip down the whole battery as said at 28:54 Not to mention you need to get a special solder machine to connect the cell to the plate and the put everything back.

Under that theory Milwaukee should be avoided as well.. both make the motor control board and trigger assembly and battery contacts all one piece and over price the hell out of it so it's more cost effective to just replace the entire tool .

[@Jihadbearzwithgunz]

Those dewalts chooched their last chooch good attempt to make one usable tool out of them and good find on the better looking of the winding with the pin that had failed.. its a shame that Dewalt amd Milwaukee make servicing these tools beyond cost effective to save themselves some change .. comes off like planned obsolescence to me . Specially aince bigger companies will just order a new tool that will suffer the same fate. Guess this is why i hang on to my brushed drills
