Powertool Repairathon, all the quick and easy repairs. love getting these quick ones.

Only a 4 day week this week. But still managed to get through over 50 machines.
But even more than that have also arrived in for repair. So the broken todo pile keeps getting bigger.
These are some of the tools I pulled from the broken pile hoping they would be a quick and easy fix, so I could get through faster.
00:01 Hitachi Hikoki DV 18 DBFL2 Cordless drill with a slipping gear.
12:00 Old Hitachi M12VC Router with a faulty speed controller.
18:08 Milwaukee HD 18 HX SDS Drill that keeps knocking of.
25:04 Hitachi Hikoki C7SB3 circular saw with a broken blade guard.
30:58 Old Makita LS1013L Miter saw making a grinding sound.
32:22 Makita DTD 173 Impact driver with a faulty switch.
37:20 Bosch GWS 7-117 Grinder spluttering and farting and won't run.
41:00 Bosch GWS 22-230 H Grinder with a smashed head or locked up blade.
1:02:51 Hikoki Metabo HPT NR 1890 DC nailer gun with a broken front or front probe.
Be warned, the hikoki nail gun was a simple part but as it turned out it was not a cheap part. That front nail guide cost around 160 euro.
Crazy money,

Hi, I work in a workshop that sells and repairs pneumatic nailers. We sell MAX, TJEP, RGN, Haubold, Paslode and Toolmatic. We also have the entire Hikoki range of tools for sale and we repair them too. Nice to see a "colleague" at work👍🏼. Best wishes from Bavaria and stay healthy.

[@darylhudson777]

I can picture a new commercial jingle for Wiha in Ireland... Wiha ! The quite handy wee tool for the job !!! HA...THAT'S HER !!! 🇮🇪💪👍

[@tomclearo3502]

Love the longer videos gives me something to do while I'm at work

[@robertallardice8119]

😂😂

[@JamieWhite-sy4sk]

Really enjoy watching you fix these tools! Your ability to throw the parts around and fire the stuff back together with ease is incredible! Makes me want to buy a box of broken tools 😂

[@HuskerHardware]

I love seeing "Hitachi" on the body, that's how you know it has had many years on it before anything went bad. These Hitachis, HiKokis and Metabo HPTs are just built to go and go.

[@icsx]

I got nearly 30 Hitachi/Hikoki machines and they are great. Got my first one back in 2016 and been expanding ever since when I've needed new tool for something I've done.

[@Adas.M]

Thank you for sharing

[@xinixxagnix201]

Thanks for the marathon Dean😁

[@robertmorin6495]

Nice work. You sure do work on a lot of equipment. They seem to be coming from miles around every day. Great that the store and you have a strong commitment to customer service and quick repairs...kind of rare today. Your allen key will turn up soon no doubt.

[@andrewrits3536]

Thanks dean for other great video keep up good work

[@stephenbaker7786]

You are a wealth of information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@vadimalexandrov3944]

Great video as always!

[@davidcraven277]

You sir are true hardest worker on u tube my friend your customers are very lucky

[@lorrinbarth1969]

I love seeing the sign of a great technician - no blood on the bench top, no bandaids on the fingers.

[@cheegebvvbvvbbhggf8638]

Thanks for making this long video I love so much 😊

[@deandohertygreaser]

Glad you like them!

[@cheegebvvbvvbbhggf8638]

Thanks for the reply

[@leonardpaciora5039]

Great one as always! Thanks Dean!!!!!

[@deandohertygreaser]

My pleasure!

[@dalesmith5258]

Great video

[@dodgyjpt]

as always great content multi tool repair

[@johnrimmer5812]

Nice one Dean, thanks.

[@AnthonySmith-hr2kp]

Nice job Dean!!

[@ashleybignell2366]

Nobody should have hair stuck to their back flange, could end up in all sorts of disasters! Great vid of fixes as usual

[@onemoredeadman]

Wiha, get this man some more allen keys

[@wastelander69]

Hey Mr Dean bro cheers for the long video you are spoiling us two long videos in a week? Cheers keep safe bro

[@edgarcornette6387]

Awesome repairs as usual. Thanks so much for the education. Hope you find your missing allen key.

[@MelbourneAlan]

great vidjo as usual dean. have you seen the new gen 2 hikoki 1st fix. they are saying its lighter.

[@StarlightStream]

Not sure if it is a good tip or not but heat shrink can also be very beneficial with cleaning up frayed shoe laces or if you have too long ones at home. I just figured the material is close enough to what I need after my old laces ripped off from use. So far it has been holding up well and you can't really notice it

[@zaxmaxlax]

thanks for the tip

[@ElMariachi1337]

Nice bunch of repaired tools again!

[@theshemullet]

Love the repairathons but a lot of the time U wish you did more individual videos, even if multiple a day. Reason why is I would love to be able to search for a specific tool fix. Like the library of Dean :)

[@deandohertygreaser]

I was thinking that myself. Was toying with the idea of starting a separate channel for just that.

[@theshemullet]

@deandohertygreaser please do. You dont realise how useful it would be for someone to put in a tool name and get your videos on it. Your calm, honest, pragmatic breakdown and explanation of tool repair is fantastic. I don't join patreon because I send money for things that help me. I have before and will again. Love your work and approach.

[@theshemullet]

I am happy to super thanks is what I mean

[@Utuber-x44]

I believe that "hair" around the hub of the circular saw was actually what's left of the felt ring they use to dampen vibration.

[@IcecalGamer]

Keep us updated if Purple Allan comes back, Dean

[@rodpatient9]

Yes, we want to know where Purple Allan went - I'll keep an eye on the TV news channels for any updates (PS: Dean, maybe Wiha will send you one of his twin brothers 🤣)

[@johnthresher259]

Congrats on 160K subscribers. I note you haven't got your Nivea hand cream sponsorship yet!

[@deandohertygreaser]

F Nivea. I was hoping on o Keeffes working hand cream sponcership 😆

[@mkrug1149]

Yea, they were all easy until you got to the Hikkoki nail gun, great videos as always. I still do not mind dragging a hose around and compressor, pneumatic nail guns are much more reliable and much easier to maintain and work on. Thanks for the diversity of tools repaired.

[@deandohertygreaser]

Yea, I thought at the beginning it was just a simple fix. How wrong was I

[@darylhudson777]

A real man values and takes care of his tools. I have seen guys be running a tool and back it off the work but it is still spinning and switch the gears or change it from forward to reverse while the innards are still spinning this is like jamming your gears in a manual transmission it wears the parts and it only takes a few seconds awaiting till the parts come to a stop then change the speed or the direction and this will extend the life of your tool.

[@darylhudson777]

@TD75 nope it's all part of being a real man maybe you don't know what a real man is

[@davidworsley7969]

Quick question-I have a number of cordless tools which spend a lot of time on the shelf-My strimmer and lawn mower for example spend months in hibernation-should I be charging them now and again or will they be ok?

[@deandohertygreaser]

Yes, I always recommend giving them an occasional charge and even run them a little if possible

[@user-qv3cc4op6m]

Hi Dean, love the long videos. I as take in the shorts. The fire alarm panel video has me wondering if you noticed that the old batteries were wired in series (24 VDC), and your new battery was 12 VDC. You could be cooking your new battery. I retired from working on alarm systems in the US and have seen a variety of different voltages.

[@deandohertygreaser]

Yes it's ment to be 2 12v batteries. But I didn't have 2. But had to fit something to stop that annoying buzzing fault.

[@markmawson1]

That 4mm Allen key will be at the bottom of the parts washer our has bounced off the floor Infront of the bench and landed in all the stuff under your bench.

[@deandohertygreaser]

Looked in both. It might turn up yet

[@NateForrest]

You should make a short showing what watches you own. Im really curious cause I've seen some nice looking watches on your wrist!

[@bwimtg]

purple allen is probably lying at the bottom of the parts washer would be my guess

[@icsx]

How do you regas the hikoki nailer with air? Just pump air into it and how much pressure?

[@jarrettl5891]

Any opinion on the 54v DeWalt mixing drill DCD130?

[@deandohertygreaser]

Good machine but not designed for repair. Once the warranty is up and it fails. Your buying a new machine

[@jarrettl5891]

@deandohertygreaser thank you sir. Love the videos. 👍👍

[@littlebluedinosaur]

I’ll bet €10 the missing Allen key is in the bottom of the parts washer 😂

[@rodpatient9]

...or in one of the plastic boxes of dismantled tools, which are waiting for parts to come in!

[@patbird9694]

Nice to see that Dean is prep for the invasion of zombies 1:24:16

[@deandohertygreaser]

I like to hold that when sales reps come around. It's helps cut out all the bs

[@capk387]

Missing Allen key is in the parts washer lucky dip 🤔

[@patbird9694]

Milwaukee wire snapped off because theres no vibration protection for the tool and battery.

[@The-four-o-five]

Do you use JIS bits when you work on Japanese gear? Lots of cam outs on the first Hikoki.

[@BaronVonBeef]

47:11 *toot*

[@bullard62]

Do the self tappers only come with an aluminium grinder head, as its soft enough for a thread to be cut ? Will they still tighten once they've been taken out a few times ? Thanks Dean.

[@deandohertygreaser]

Yes they do

[@connahjones8178]

56:34 it was actually cheaper for him to buy the new head and old seal separately!!

[@Muelb]

What product do you use to clean: electronics, gears and housing?

[@deandohertygreaser]

Kerosene and contact cleaner for electrical

[@garyallport18]

About the different types I have a dewalt drill with a broken switch the outer part tried putting one from a burnt one and it would not fit ...they were different type numbers

[@grumpygrandpa3640]

Check your parts washer £20 says that Allen key is in the bottom 😂

[@2xKTfc]

Seems like Bosch sells you all the parts you could ever need for anything, if you can stomach the price!

[@jarrettl5891]

You probably shouldn't own a mitre saw if you're sending it in for a "repair" like that 😅

[@YNOCORWDO]

What language is this guy speaking? 😂 the subtitles are essential to understand 😂

[@Khansvisuals]

He’s speaking English, clearly you ain’t travelled enough to understand diversity or different accents

[@lukada83]

Watch him long enough and you'll get used to it, cheap and cheerfull😉

[@tc2851]

Had a native Irish teacher from Donegal stand in as a temp, nobody could understand her as we’d all learned Irish from a Munster dialect speaker🤣🤣🤣 I think the influence of Donegal Irish on spoken English is mighty strong 👍

[@tonybr2469]

About them grinder handles dean could you heat up the aluminium to release them or even belt the head with a hammer ?

[@deandohertygreaser]

You can but I have a box of handles. Quicker to just replace and cheaper
