Another Big load of Dewalt cordless tools in for Repair. Let's see what can be, and is worth fixing.

This lot of Dewalt tools are in from all different customers, so iv gathered them all up to do all together.
It's interesting to see just what can be fixed from one brand on any given day.

[@GablesDude]

Okay, I just realized one of the reasons your videos are so good and entertaining: you tell a classic story. At first you demonstrate the problem by turning on the tool. Then you take us through the story of figuring out what's wrong and fixing it while adding in vignettes and anecdotes. Lastly you build tension by saying, "but will she run?" and then, of course she does, "that's her!", and everyone lives happily ever after (unless you're a DeWalt tool that only needs a controller).

Fwiw here's my experience, I'm a builder in Australia and have been using Makita ,Dewalt and Ryobi ,my tools work hard but not abused, I know when things are overloaded and I clean my tools out periodically. In 35 years of work I've only replaced the odd bearing which is normal and my Ryobi 16 gauge nailer was worn out so it was replaced under warranty. Btw no problem with anything Dewalt .

[@daviddavies1596]

Another great video Dean. I bought a non running Makita jigsaw for buttons. It was clogged up with sawdust exactly the same as the Dewalt you fixed. Must be a common issue in older well used machines. Keep up the good work!

[@trevorturner8755]

Another great video thank you

[@J-Justice666]

Dean, very enjoyable video. When trying to remove a sticker label, heat it up with a hair dryer first to release the adhesive and you'll get it off better in one piece.

[@FrassoFra]

Thank you for this weekend treat🎉

[@loopdemack]

Dean don't throw the plastic housing, you can use that plastic for melting it with the original to fix cracks, or broken parts, and you can build the wall that was melted.

[@ZNCLinguistics-ne3wp]

13:00 - when working one-handed, I turn the toolholder so it's facing downwards, then I pull the sleeve forwards. good old gravity drops the bit into my tool pouch or my palm or my pocket. takes a bit of practice but sure as hell easier than screwing with two springs if things go wrong. that fancy feature is really just... a fancy feature =,=

[@andreiion5747]

You can actually buy the switch for the router. I paid about 8 euros for one - shipping included. Then it took me 4 hours to replace the broken one and it was not easy.

[@mkrug1149]

On the power planer, it would seem they could have had a removable plate with a few screws to hold the bearing, then you could just install a smaller piece instead of the whole housing. Great videos.

[@donauwood]

Well done dean I enjoyed the video as iam a dewalt man

[@sergaljesus]

I always try to make a game of it and try to guess what's wrong before you find out, im right once in awhile haha

[@barthanes1]

I've had an idea you could try with the DeWalt planers. Open up the bearing retainer socket in the housing with an end mill in the drill press. Shim the hole with a piece of pvc pipe. Then, recut the pvc to fit the bearing. The bearing retainer socket has a hole in the center, which makes it easy to locate.

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

For transferring stickers a small heat gun works like magic to soften adhesives. I use the dewalt 20v but pretty much any will do just keep em low low, ive burnt/singed labels holding em too close. ~ Work smart 👌

[@cappywa]

Great job on them all! I’m just curious though, when reassembling the jig saw I did t see that housing gasket go back in place between the shells. Was it not needed or didn’t you film it? Anyway, thanks for taking us along once again, you’re a regular fountain of knowledge! 👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼

[@deandohertygreaser]

It's was torn and they are not always needed in cordless jigsaws

[@bikerdaveb]

The price of the planer housing is the reason I wrapped my new bearing in PTFE tape and wedged it in when I had that problem 😅

[@OBeezyNB]

@Dean Doherty Love the videos as always Dean but I've been dying 2 ask you,where can I get a set of those long double-sided Torx bits you use?? Thanks

[@deandohertygreaser]

They are wiha, the set is called system 6

[@alouisschafer7212]

Build quality on the jigsaw doesnt seem bad at all, just need to come up with a better seal to keep the dust out.

[@deandohertygreaser]

All cordless jigsaws seem to be like this. A tight fitting seal that works, uses extra battery power to overcome.

[@BatasKitchen-gm9ne]

Can I ask is there a reason you did not put a gasket back on the jigsaw. Its probably how the saw dust got into it. But I am guessing this is not the reason

[@walterbwd]

8:33 wasn't the indent where you tried to drill it?

[@nfi2nfi2]

Dewalt guys and their nail guns, I’ve got a fix if you put oil in them, strip brake clean, then get an old tyre and 40grit sand paper and make rubber dust, put that in your gun in small amounts run for few weeks then open and repeat once more same thing should sort it.

[@Heisse_Huette_Cologne]

You're kidding, right? Have you personally successfully done it already?

[@robertchapin3683]

Those labels come off a lot easier if you warm them up with a heat gun first.

Tools are becoming just like new cars every year they get more and more complicated. The throwaway society is becoming even more ridiculous. Why can’t things just be simple. The old simple tools lasted a whole lot longer than.

More like they just dont want to supply the part so you buy a new one. Motors and controllers cost pennies, they are all made in china anywaya

[@darrenhenderson7076]

Yes they are got adapter for my old nicad DeWalt tools to use new lithium on them after bad experience with new tools to my surprise they are better than the new tools with lithium batteries on them give it a shot if u have old nicad tools best built tools ever made but electric tools and air tools hold up much better

[@dougsaunders8109]

In fairness the parts might be in the expensive side but repaired most. My guess re planer, no one saw the bearing causing case issues therefore only loose blades smashing the whole housing, hence being able to buy the front assembly separately

[@RosesAreRedish]

What kind of grease do you use for the gears in drills and impact drivers

[@michaeljohnson1006]

That switch on the DeWalt router, a similar switch might be available from R.S components for a couple of quid. I got a high inrush one from rs to replace one on a TV.

[@kaosmax4u]

Hooked on your repair videos here! ... For the DCS331, you did not replace the gasket taken out at 1:23:16. Was the tool better without it :-?

[@filipjaromczyk7324]

Was a fan of Dewalt before, but stopped being one after watching your videos. Will buy only Makita from now on.

[@luthmhor]

You’ve not watched all of them then I guess. Dewalt makes good tools, they are more robust than Milwaukee, and many are better designed than Makita tools. Makita is falling into the same trap of not allowing each part to be replaced, but entire parts assemblies. Makita or dewalt tends to be the best for your money, but it is always tool specific. Dewalt drills are better, their new corded grinders are generally better too, Makitas old grinders, the ones with a ton of glass fibre in the plastic, those are amazing too, you can still buy them. Dewalt is a solid brand and the warranty and service in US and Canada is excellent. Makita market share is less here than in Europe. Milwaukee on the other hand is garbage.

[@luthmhor]

Generally speaking, Makita is better quality and more repairable, but not by a lot, and as I said, some tools are actually worse. If you watch deans 100k sub special I’m pretty sure he outlines what Makita tools to avoid.

[@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel]

I cannot fathom the mind of a man who doesn't clean out the shaving and sawdust from a baseplate before fitting it. I just could not do that, I would have to blow it out.

[@robprice7800]

Makes me laugh when u have a dewalt planner in now because I remember when you didn’t check the blade holder and it went bang … you only do that once 😂🤣😂

[@dudemaestromaster]

Hey Dean, how did the sawdust get in to the jigsaw do you think? Failed gasket maybe?

[@prasadvn524]

Nice video

[@ElMariachi1337]

Not a bad fix score on all the Dewalts. On the mistery ball: it might have came from the impact piece. For example the bigger impact Makita drivers DTW1001 have a bunch of these balls in em. Don't know the deal on the Dewalt ones. But I do agree it rather had the size of a toolholder ball.

[@alouisschafer7212]

You would think that there would be more protection to the spindle bearings on a planer. Just looked up the parts diagram of the Makita one. Its the same, just bearings on a shaft. Should have at least an aditional washer on the shaft to act as a debris shield or a primitive labyrinth seal like ive seen on some Makita sanders. Its just a plastic washer with a deep groove on the shaft and a corresponding ring on the housing but works wonders to shield the bearing.

[@CJ-111]

Thoughts on Skil tools, Dean?

[@oldmuppet191]

Did you recover the hose stub off the old planer body and fit it to the new one?

[@mervynrodgers9465]

Great videos, from a local fan.Could you recommend a good model DeWalt ¹/² nut gun with good torque.👍👍👍

[@rocketmunkey1]

We need to hit these companies where it hurts, if a tool is not economical to repair, then instead of replacing like with like, buy it from another manufacturer who respects their customers better, and let the old company know thats what you are going to do, you never know they might send you a replacement to keep your custom, or at the very least change their ways.

[@johncarne4884]

I was contemplating buying the corded version of this router is it more reliable?

[@jorglange2666]

I am disappointed in my DeWalt tools, most of the batteries are not charging anymore and the tools are worn out and have some bad design issues so not spending money on new batteries. The planer chip port always clogs even after cutting away plastic and if I cut more the hose won't fit on any more, frustrating! Some of the chucks are not holding bits and need constant tightening. Batteries are loose and power cuts out. Not made to last!

[@bigdavedownunder]

For a normal man that uses tools once in awhile, does Makita or Dewalt make a good choice for a impact driver or a semi-pro tool like Einhell or Skill are good enough?

I'm still amazed by how the heck the first impact driver bit got so stuck on. of all of dean's many videos, this one single repair is the first that really made me go holy fecking sheeeeeet. all that trouble and time just because someone couldn't be bothered to wiggle the bit and make sure it was in properly. and how the heck did dewalt manage to make their impact drivers so damn complicated? do their engineers have to go through some sort of special training to make their machines so f*****ing weird? and I wonder what the turnover on their assembly lines is like. folks must be going nuts and quitting every week lol. I thank my lucky stars I happened to buy makita when I went cordless. Never had a fault that I couldn't repair myself using simple common sense. If I had gone dewalt, with the number of nuts I have to sink each day, fixing those things would have made my nuts go nuts.

[@MrArcticPOWER]

Did you skip all the makita repair videos?

[@jernejloknar8011]

This sounds like a great thing to refurbish the housing as it is a common point of failure on the dewalt planer: If you created a precise re-grinding tool (a kind of reamer with a extended aligning pin) to be able to self-align center by the remaining hole (there is a center hole that goes thru housing), you could regrind the hole precisely by 0.5 or 1 milimeter larger to fit a slightly larger bearing. There is more than enough plastic around the bearing, and maybe a larger bearing would also last slightly longer. All that matters is, that the bearing is centered properly, bearing size itself is not a important factor here.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Hi Dean, frankly DeWalt are a pack of arseholes for the way they sell spare parts. Have you ever tried replacing the chuck on a DCD960? My DCD960 had a damaged chuck and you can imagine my surprise when I found out it isn’t a replaceable part, the cockheads at DeWalt expect you to buy a complete transmission with the chuck fitted. Well in Australia that costs more than the drill so I pulled mine apart and worked out how to replace it. It’s not easy and requires very high heat (I used an oxy acetylene torch) but mine has been fine since the repair. I made a KZbin video of how I did it and I’m happy that others have had success repairing theirs. A couple of people have not been careful with the reassembly so the hammer mechanism stays on all the time which means disassembling the transmission again to fix it. I love your channel. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
