Milwaukee M18 ONEFHIWF13 nut gun, full repair and clean, What a difference!!

[@Unlovable]

Client must have been amazed to get it back in such amazing condition. Great work!

[@lithriandel01]

This is more like a restoration than a repair. Thanks for the video.

[@thepubliceye]

In 20 years of repairing tools I've never returned a repaired tool that was not cleaned inside and out, It just helps make the customer feel better.

[@Jihadbearzwithgunz]

Also makes repairing the item feel better I do electronics repair for friends and I've always cleaned the items first everything from guitar amps to phones and game consoles and controllers and enjoy them saying the item looks and feels like it's brand new

[@harrywebb9839]

Helps in fault finding, too. Far too easy to miss something broken that's covered in shite

12:38 Those graphite pads on the red board are extremely worn out. This same problem causes 'stick drifting' in game controllers. I wonder if they could be repaired using a defrost repair kit. They sell them in auto parts stores for fixing the rear defrost lines in cars.

I am glad that you was willing to do a little rigging to get the impact driver going again instead of using a bunch of expensive parts that would have quickly added up to the cost of a new machine.

[@stevejagger8602]

Have you considered getting an ultrasonic parts cleaner? Particularly good for cleaning electronic parts. Switches don't necessarily need to be dismantled so long as they have some opening to allow the cleaning fluid to enter.

[@jostouw4366]

It's more about getting out the dirt and seeing it has gone.

[@stevejagger8602]

- you keep me company a lot of hours... - just a quick note, whenever we leave some wires unconnected, it is a good practice to insulate them, since they may be not passive, but bring power to the sub-board, like the one that counts strokes.

[@uria711]

This is really cool. The only question I have is why put so much grease where that bushing is but none on the actual gears?

[@deandohertygreaser]

I do grease the gears, but experience has shown me not to put on to much. As it just comes back out and into the motor

Wish my 1/2 inch Makita impact had an O-ring on the anvil as the hog ring doesn't hold well. Not sure what they were thinking as my 3/8 has a O-ring.

Hi Dean, great video as always. Curious what brand you would recommend for DIYing bit of everything - woodwork, working on car, general use. Cheers

[@jasonbuckler190]

You mentioned on a previous video that your go-to bosch repair drill sounded worse than the one you were repairing. How about a self-repair video of your bosch driver using your skil or something? Just a thought...

[@refactorear]

Zip ties should also work for repairing that body, they are cheap and easy to melt, and also easy to maneuver.

[@jostouw4366]

Perhaps but using the same plastic with glass fibre in it lasts longer.

[@sergejpishchulin9727]

Hello, tell me, please, what kind of lubricant do you lubricate the impact mechanisms of the wrenches?

[@darylhudson777]

I don't know if Ingersoll Rand is even in business anymore because I haven't been around it for years but I loved their tools and I had a Craftsman 1/2" air impact gun with 600 ft lb of reverse torque that was great.

[@Utuber-x44]

They are still around. TBH quality is not what it used to be but still solid enough on average but every company has gone downhill on quality control.

Hi Dean, nothing to do with Milwaukee just a question for you. Do you know if there is a Makita switch which will fit the Eibenstock PLD182.1 core drill, someone said that there was. I was thinking, if anyone knew it would be you.

[@theosnr]

Question from a novice in South Africa. What grease is best for metal gears and bearings in power tools please.

[@lukaskovac3886]

The manufacturer declares it in user manual, if not try search online. Any type of lithium based grease will do, but viscosity can depend on type of power tool.

[@artyfhartie2269]

All my tools are spotless and kept sealed in their boxes or packets and stored on shelves away from dirt, fingerprints and grime. I must make a video to show them to KZbinrs one day.

[@gutsngorrrr]

Nice fix, the owner must've thought he'd got a new machine 😊

[@arshadbangash]

Dean how about if we put a drop of superglue for the battery retainer instead of sotering the plastic

[@GRamerDim]

glue is soft,you want something hard to pack out the movement of the battery

[@shifty277]

wont be as durable over time considering the battery might be smashing in and out on a weekly basis the superglue will deform or break down quicker.

[@RoweSandberg]

Super glue is very brittle and doesn't bond well with most types of plastic.

[@Cormacmoore1]

Great video.

[@classydays43]

You know, a 3D printer should pump out those little silicone dust boots no problem. I'm certain I heard they can 3D print silicone now. It would probably add to cost but a 3D printer would be an investment to repairing these mostly plastic tools.
