On the bluepoint jump pack they have a fuse in the positive crocodile clip that blows when the user reverse poles it

[@michelsauve6264]

Nice variety of tools. Hope the New Year brings more new products.

[@balintberetzky5812]

I love your videos, even as a complete noob they are easy to follow and very informative. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas

[@deandohertygreaser]

Thanks, you too!

We used a lot of Durite automotive components when I was apprenticed to commercial vehicle repairs and trailer repairs. That was nearly seventy years ago. Good, reliable British made items. These days, who knows?

[@PeteyMcSavage]

Some time the way they have the button on case interacting with circuit switch below needs to be adjusted. Because it’s plastic when u push its not pushing hard enough on the switches underneath. They use like a leaf spring made of plastic that fatigues I heat it up bend it a little quench with wet cloth and quick and easy

[@danimkn579]

Dewalt should red highlight "DO NOT OIL/GREASE" on its nail guns. It's unfortunate losing a costly machine like that.

[@alouisschafer7212]

Yes make it obvious and it should also say KEEP DRY

[@QWERTY7773]

0.35 there is a big sticker on the side of the gun telling you not to oil it

[@Zfs_Steve]

There’s a sticker on the gun

[@zeroyon4562]

Nah, it’s fun to see clever chippies ruin their gear.

[@zaxmaxlax]

Had they spend 5min to read the manual they would know pag 11: *WARNING: NEVER* spray or in any other way apply lubricants or cleaning solvents inside the tool. This can seriously affect the life and performance of the tool.

[@gutsngorrrr]

I'd love to take a look at one of those jump starters, as i bet there's a common fault, likely an under speced component, if they're all failing; n the same way

[@zaxmaxlax]

The power mosfets looked all fine, shoulde be something very dumb like a tiny diode or cap, the board is working, just not the power part.

[@BarniRepairs]

Regarding the starter packs, for thst price, size and weight you might as well buy a Honda generator. Same size, same weight. Always reliable.

[@711Bar]

С новым годом.

[@KEIRAN1996]

We have one of The duritc jumpers at work and the thing will literally jump vehicles without a battery in them

[@duncanmacdonald6993]

The current equivalent to the Sealey jump starter is their RS 125 model which is £304.95 on Amazon UK.

[@timh5529]

Dean. I know you're a fan of evolution power tools. What are they like in regards to repairing? Getting spare parts and such?

[@alouisschafer7212]

Good thing about the odd coupler in the Mellif is you can just make a new one from suitable stock material just a circle with 5 holes simple to punch out

[@BobOBob]

For that core drill lever, what if you were to use a much longer screw for assembly, and change it after? That may allow you to "drop" the metal backer inside and pull it back.

[@sergaljesus]

Atleast dewalt nailguns seem to be keepin the lights on and food on the table for you guys haha

[@hemtet5500]

How?

[@sergaljesus]

@hemtet5500 a constant stream of customers that need their dewalt nailguns fixed which provides job security

[@hemtet5500]

@ hasn’t he been saying that mostly they’re unrepairable. This might keep the manufacturers in tea and biscuits but that’s all

[@sergaljesus]

@hemtet5500 if you get oil anywhere near them then they're completely unrepairable

[@hemtet5500]

@@sergaljesus that’s what I’m saying it really benefits no one except the manufacturer.

[@jamesm7258]

Bought one of them durite boost packs around 2 and a half years ago. Heard alot of bad reviews about them but honestly can't fault mines. Stored in damp van, been used in the rain and just abused as I'm an agri mechanic. Apparently folk say the leads should be connected in a certain order for it to work but never had any problems. Only broke a clamp but that was due to being run over. 🤦‍♂️

[@johnbingham7300]

Dean the screw driver bites you use with adjustable handle what brand is it I live in Orlando Florida and never seen [ne like that great video I learned a lot thanks John

[@deandohertygreaser]

It's the wiha system 6 set

[@queendlb5946]

Oh bummer on having a negative ground issue with your car. What an ass pain those are. Just takes a wee mousy getting cheeky with a wire to makes ones car battery drain. Ive had them and disconnected the battery cables after car use if car sitting a few days. 🙄

[@paulrowntree2800]

As far as I can tell, Mellif have stopped selling DeWalt compatible tools. They just have Makita and a few Milwaukee on their website.

[@YpsilonXY]

True saw it a few day ago

[@deandohertygreaser]

After seeing the new Dewalt nail gun, I cam see why

[@petrokemikal]

Sure there all the same anyways, they are just sticking dewalt connectors on the bottom of the tools, There tools are all over aliexpress, I dont even think Meliff make half of them..There a wierd company.. I also dont believe if you break one that your getting any warranty..

[@duncanmacdonald6993]

The reviews on Amazon UK about the Durite jump pack are not good - works well for a while then dies with no support from Durite - Amazon customer review rating 2.9 out of 5

[@kevinbrowning8786]

Durite usually good brand of automotive electronics or it’s supposed to be

[@atsimas]

1:01:05. That job is by definition why you need an air hammer.

[@pirox2720]

Mellif tools seems to be 2 different companies, one here in the United States which opened in 2006 and the European ome opened in 2023.. im unsure if they are owned by a parent company or independently owned..

[@s28278187]

Probably a transistor/mosfet fault on that Durtic

[@zaxmaxlax]

44:07 dean, if you start stocking chinese controller boards you can save many tools. They're very cheap 5 to 15 euros, poted or bare board like this one.

[@irishrebel1976]

Did I see some Hikoki/Hitachi/Metabo tools on the to do shelf?

[@Rough_as_guts]

whats your favorite tool brand? and what brand do u like fixing the msot

[@hotdeal3156]

He has said multiple times it’s Makita and Bosch

[@dadsinoz]

Nice one :) what advice would you give to someone who would like to start up a business doing what you do?

[@cetzkawatz]

I was wondering what the brown grease you use in a syringe is? I think it's been mentioned in older videos but i cannot remember which videos that was. Either way i wish you a happy new year!

[@queendlb5946]

I believe it depends on the tool. Each tool will have a required amount and type of grease. Some manufacturers sell their own grease with a part #. It is important to use the correct grease. Too thick can cause tool to work too hard. Too thin gets too liquefied if tool gets worked a bit. If memory serves, I have seen him once in awhile put a slightly thicker grease than spec'd into a tool when he knows owner runs tool hard for long stretches of time where grease heats up so tool stays properly lubricated. My impression is getting the grease type correct and amount correct is pretty important 😊

[@cetzkawatz]

@@queendlb5946 That is all right, though my question of what the brown grease Dean appears to use as a more universal grease remains

[@deandohertygreaser]

The 2 main types of grease I use is bosch. 001 and 015 grease

[@cetzkawatz]

@@deandohertygreaser Thank you very much!

[@noblink4619]

33:13 maybe thermal camera the pcb while on?

[@alouisschafer7212]

How good are the Eibenstock machines overall? Seeing how well the gearbox is lubricated is a good sign means this machine wont blow out gears on account of too little grease/oil or too heavy of a grease that will just fling off the gears and deposit itself in the housing until the gears are bone dry. Had a cheap crappy SDS drill once that had the wrong grease in it and too little aswell: Wasnt hammering well anymore, hammer tube was bone dry aswell as the gears and the heavy axle grease or something was all stuck to the housing.

[@danstan4554]

Hey man love your videos! But can you do something about the audio its always playing just on my right ear and when i finish the videos it always hurts alittle bit :D anyways keep up the good work!

[@asamitchell7948]

Can the dewalt not be saved with a few tins of brake clean?

[@deandohertygreaser]

You can if your doing it yourself. It might work. But repair shops no longer try. As the repair never lasts

[@patbird9694]

Always learning something new watching these videos. I’ll remember the mitre saw repair trick. Thanks Dean . Happy New Year.

[@leonardpaciora5039]

Thanks Dean!!!!

[@Alienalloy]

Shit…. I literally dosed my Mikita nail gun with wd40 last night! 😩

[@robertkovacic4623]

Ooo😯...Elbenstock-good Brand👍...also in Metabo CAS System🙄

[@oddbodhobbies2840]

Hi Dean random question but are you wearing a new watch?

[@FcEverDizz17n]

Hey Ireland boy, and this is a post message from years eygol, did it hurted for long to bring his yellow machine top tlop back Klick flic in the gruuund

[@frankblack1481]

Why won’t DeWalt emphasize the importance of keeping the nailers dry?? I see that Santa didn’t bring you a new square of plywood for testing nailers :-) then again… it must take three days to remove the old one from the wall with all the nails holding it on. I always wonder what must be on the other side of that wall? Some poor office person that’s persecuted daily by nails coming thru the wall by their head

[@frankblack1481]

For 2025, for at least a month or two, would it be worth keeping a running total of the €€ of machines you ‘save’ from the scrap bin? Not talking about general services… but the tools that you know for a fact would be binned if it weren’t for your repairs. Cost of replacement tools must surely hit 6 figures each year.

[@thepubliceye]

A electronics repairman can fix them, the parts for the board are off the shelf items.

[@capk387]

Dean do you want a new board or to for the nail test wall ?? What if sent one with a logo marked out for artists value ?

[@capk387]

Thinking about it could do it up like a calendar - mark it off to 12 squares and see if there is a peak season for nail gun testing

[@Blobjonblob]

I mean there's even a picture on the nail gun itself not to oil them

[@jaraalbert]

The jump starters are garbage after 3yrs the battery goes bad 99.9% of the time and battery cost more then the whole new unit its not worth fixing

[@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel]

That nibbler must be a mell-if and not Mee-liff, because it is not spelt mee-liff

[@shamrock767]

Dean thanks for your highly informative and honest reviews/repairs, really enjoying your content, many thanks for sharing and may 2025 be kind to you! Greetings from Ardfarna.

[@finnlolig3089]

I hope Mellif will start supporting Bosch, I would love that.

[@zaxmaxlax]

If you look at chinese tools sold online they are always dewalt or makita, why not milwaukee or bosch compatible? There's something going on there and we will never know for sure. There are literal fake makita tools sold online, "makita" name and everything
