Einhell 18V PXC Brushless Hammer Drill Teardown - How good is this one?

Upon request and after our successful Einhell 18V PXC Brushless Impact Driver Teardown video we are having a look inside the Einhell 18V PXC Hammer Drill version. Is this drill worth considering?
As part of the Einhell "Power X Change" lineup of 18 Volt cordless tools, which consists of over 200 tools nowadays. In this video we are taking the Einhell TE-CD 18 Li-i BL Brushless Hammer Drill to bits to see if it's any good.

Thank you for sacrificing the beauty of the aluminum cover to show us the inner values of the drill...🤗

[@grahamhall2662]

Just bought one of these, really pleased with it. That's an awful lot of technology for the money. Very strong draught coming out of those holes when in use.

[@brianwood5220]

I love my Einhell products. Never had an issue yet. By the way all Brushless Motors (no matter what tool) have a 10 Year warranty. Thanks for sharing.

[@brianbisnath2254]

Einhell tools have changed the game for me! Really great value and so far after using them for almost 3 years I’ve had no issues except one caused by my fitter’s negligence. Einhell offers a great solution for me with a wide range on cordless tools

[@semilife]

Great, very well paced and informed teardowns. I own a similar model so it's interesting to see what's inside these.

[@neleig]

Informative and enjoyable to watch the disassembly. Thanks.

[@patrikugrin5271]

very nice video, good teardown and informative

Спасибо за хороший обзор инструмента. Буквально вчера я приобрёл такой же. Долго не мог решиться его купить, но вы развели мои сомнения. Ещё раз спасибо.

The clutch sounds excellent

[@bobdung]

Good video .. I^m totally in the Einhell ecosystem and power exchange, From this drill to SDS drill to table saw to hedge trimmers and grinders and vacuum etc etc.. I'm a power user DIYer and can't fault the price vs performance ratio.

[@SonOfZeusGaming]

aaaaa a hidden Philips head screw under the aluminium cover... sneaky bastard! Thanks for the video!

Good video. Waiting for a te js cordless jigsaw circular saw review

[@bayadere8308]

I'm impressed by this kind of video. I think we've all seen enough of the 'look, it drills eight holes in ten seconds in a piece of wood' type of 'review'. Just one thing; perhaps you could add a little about what is in the complete package e.g. case, charger etc.

[@toolteardown]

Hi Bayadere, thanks for the feedback! The Einhell Hammer Drill was purchased as a solo device. So that one comes without any battery or charger. The only accessory is the toolbelt clip you can screw into the handle. I'll make mention of these things going forward :)

[@huseyinarifemre3858]

Mükemmeldi, çok beğendim, teşekkürler. Benim matkabım üç metre yüksekten toprağa düştü bataryayı tutan boğumdan gövdesi kırıldı. Onu tamir etmek için araştırırken bu videoya rastladım. Anlatım güzeldi, teşekkürler. Aynı yükseklikten ustanın Stanley matkabı düştü ama bir şey olmadı. Einhell plastik gövdeyi güçlendirmeli.

[@Lewis_Emblack]

I have a bunch of the Ozito branded tools and bits, both X-Change and cabled (it is a little cheaper for the same thing if you can still find it after the Homebase/Bunnings situation) and really like their stuff. I would rate it above some of the big names' entry level tools, and been flawless for everything I have thrown at it. I am glad Einhell are easy to get hold of as it saves me having to try to import bits once Ozito have disappeared completely from the UK. Great videos! 👍🏻

[@sterling6860]

I must of bought half the Ozito tools when bunnings closed down in st Albans,I know they make good tools as i have tried to destroy a $10 orbital sander in australia ,could not do it..batteries and charger and all tools same as Einhell.

[@josephking6515]

I'm not intending to sound snarky so my apologies is it comes off as such but you do realise that Einhell purchased Ozito in 2016 so they should honor any warranty on your Ozito tools. Bunnings are the only distributer of Ozito tool range here downunder. I looked at the Einhell website and drooled with envy at some of the items you have that we don't.

[@Lewis_Emblack]

​@@josephking6515 Not at all, and yes I have always assumed they would. To be honest I can't see any of my tools dying before the warranty runs out as I don't use them in a professional capacity and they all still work flawlessly. Einhell has a brilliant range of tools available but I assume the import costs might be a bit prohibitive for you? I have since acquired the Einhell Brushless Hammer Drill and several of their batteries and they have the same consistent quality throughout. I don't think I'll every get any other brand unless they disappear.

[@TheMgbglasgow]

That’s what I was looking for to see how to remove the chuck

surely the motor fan will draw air through the handle past the heatsinks. the hole placement seems right imo.

Parabens pelo video

[@tonyswannell4719]

Well opened one recently the date was 2021/09 and the handle parts was epoxeyed in so that's been changed.

[@CCNetz]

Nice review! Do you have any experience with the einhell brushless 18/40 li bl (40NM)? It seems a nice product but looks at overall a little cheaper, besides no hammer function it is full plastic. Not sure if that would by a good purchase for a heavy DIY user (work mostly) but it's almost 25% cheaper than the 18/40 brushed version which has a better housing.

[@rafalopezmiranda7856]

Buenas . No logró quitar el mandril de este mismo taladro como lo hace usted. E seguído sus instrucciones podría ayudar gracias.

Hola,te escribo desde argentina,muy bueno tu canal te felicito.yo tengo la heinell TP-CD 18/60 q es muy parecida y prendí fuego un hilo de algodón q lo puse abajo de la empuñadura de agarre y el humo cuando prendo la máquina se ve como lo aspira por esaendidura,con lo cual la placa electrónica se debe refrigerar con ese aire,quizás tú máquina sea similar ,hace la prueba.y te faltó probar si realmente tiene 60 Newton de fuera,saludos

[@szabijozef]

Köszi a videót. Einhell nem top kategoriás gép, de otthoni bakácsolásra, szerelgetésre, polc, karnis felrakására, megfelelő. Ha jól értettem, akkor Te is meg vagy vele elégedve. Nem top kategoriás a belseje, de megfelelő. Milyen hosszú életet gonolsz az Einhell gépnek?

[@hasanrcn]

I have the same drill. But now the chuck does not lock when removing the drill bit. The chuck locks when installing the drill bit. But when I want to remove the bits, the chuck rotates. I'm going to disassemble the drill and fix it. Which of these parts you removed is preventing rotation?

[@sandeirocompositor]

Olá,o botão da de left right da minha máquina travou no right...fui tentar abrir mas não consegui tirar o mandril pois ficou uma broca presa....😢

[@manny_f]

The board not being epoxyed in is a good thing in my book, as it allows for component-level repairs.

[@drkastenbrot]

A potted, well designed board wont even need a repair. Not potting it will eventually lead to issues because of dust and especially metal shavings.

[@joshuamaserow]

@joob its easy enough to cover the board in hot glue if you're worried. And quite easy to melt off with a hot air rework, if you want to do repairs.

[@Susceptive35]

So amazing german quaility ❤

Buon Trapano ma un tantino troppo costoso per i suoi difetti "ogni tanto si blocca la forza di coppia scende dopo un po' che lo si usa" forse bisognerebbe pulire i sensori del brushles?

I repaired and maintained my drill. However, I could not install the gear and transmission group properly. After maintenance, Coup did not work. Where should be the right place for the coup? Can you take a detailed video of the gear group? Can you assemble and disassemble the gearbox and conical in detail? I would appreciate it if you could make a video and post a link. There are many users, everyone is looking for this video. Need Urgently Please. 🥺🥺

Hello there, I hv a question pls:) 7:25 I can’t pass this step. Always spins a bit, but is not gonna lose.. when spin I hear like a cracking inside. Any advice please?

[@Radziuuu007]

Did you unscrew it? I have a problem with that too.

[@kevinmills5293]

I’ve just bought one of these. The drill seems pretty powerful but the chuck doesn’t seem to grip the drills very well. No matter how tight the chuck is, the drills slip. Have you experienced this?

[@josephking6515]

Found the same issue and resorted to tuning the chuck as tight as my puny little hands and arms can. It's a tad annoying that eh. Maybe get a speed wrench and put rubber sleeves on the jaws to protect the chuck and your tool warranty. Alternatively you could get a cheapie rubber strap with a plastic handle oil filter remover and use that to tighten and untighten it. I have one I use to remove the plastic casing on bathroom taps so I can get to the spindle and remove it.

[@user-yp1hi5vn1f]

Hello, dear sir, I have a workshop for repairing these devices and I need to know the repair of the Brushless device. When I press the start button, it only turns on the lamp lights up when I press only. Can you help me?

[@toolteardown]

Hello, It could be quite a few things. Start with the simple things, just to make sure it is not something easy. Did you try it with a different battery/ fully charged battery? Try change the rotation & drill settings to see if this makes any difference. Does it smell like burned plastic when you try to turn it on? Can you hear any noises when you try to turn it on? If you have access to compressed air, try cleaning out the vent holes of the drill, blow the dust / dirt out. If that does not make any difference it's probably the electronics, which you can access by opening the drill. Check for any broken / damaged connections on any of the solder points. Have a good look inside the motor windings as well. Measure continuity on the motor, switch, terminal & PCB to check if you can pin point the issue. If this all looks good, it might be the PCB itself (probably one or more of the mosfet's) which is kaput. If you are good with electronics you might be able to pin point it and replace the individual part, if not you probably want to order a replacement PCB. www.einhell-service.com/en_DE/sparepart/451386001902/451386001902_01 Silly question perhaps, but is it still in the warranty? (Einhell have 2 - 3 years on their tools depending on if it was registered or not)

I'm looking for the model markings of the mosfet, do you have a high quality picture of the mosfet markings? Please confirm that it is "MXP4002JTL", my drill has BV6317 inside but it looks like that is a cheaper substitute and i can find no information or stock online.

[@toolteardown]

I'll take a picture over the weekend for you. I believe because Einhell replaced this model with their new offering, spare parts will become more difficult to get hold of. I'll get back to you.

[@toolteardown]

MXP4002JTL - YT02 - L8709H for the mosfets on this drill.

[@jernejloknar8011]

@@toolteardown Thank you for the info, my tool is from 2017, the mainboard is unavailible as spare part anywhere so i ordered MXP mosfets. I will replace them all and see if this makes it work again.

[@arminkisic8666]

Heloo i nead your advice badly . I got one seame as on video and when i pres on switch it moves only half milimeter with like shake and never go in working state yust doing this each time i pres on buton

[@toolteardown]

Hi Armin, sounds like the one or more of the mosfets have packed up. They electronically control the speed of the drill depending on how far the trigger switch is pushed in. If the drill only turns a fraction of a rotation, one or more of them have stopped working, regulating the speed. This could happen if they get too hot for too long by long use of the drill, or if the speed is changed a lot. (which also generates a lot of heat in them)

[@arminkisic8666]

[@MrZokich]

did you notice any chuck wobble because of hammer mode?

[@toolteardown]

There is some axial play to allow for the hammer function to work, but as you push against the machine to drill or screw it "disappears". I did use it quite a bit now but did not notice any radial play or wobble so far.

[@MrZokich]

@@toolteardown Thank you!

[@andyl3361]

Having the LED light up high will cast a shadow of the chuck rendering it pretty useless.

[@toolteardown]

Pretty much every drill model from Makita uses the high LED placement, as well as quite a few drills made by DeWalt & Milwaukee, so it appears to work ;) It needs to illuminate an area about 50mm in front of the chuck, not the tip of the chuck as with a drill either drill-bits or bit adaptors all "stick" out and is only really needed for initial part of the application, a.i. starting / undoing a screw or drilling a hole.

[@drkastenbrot]

@@toolteardown My makita has the LED up there and it annoys me, I much prefer the placement on the bottom. Bosch has the led at the end of a very long battery shoe which is probably the ideal situation, even the thickest glove wont obscure it.

[@joshuamaserow]

They should have LEDs in both locations. LEDs are cheap.
