Fixing up a bunch of Makita, Dewalt and Paslode power tools

A handy end to the week.
A few paslodes for repair and service. The Paslode IM360 and IM65 are a repair shops normal bread and butter. But the 18S was a new one for me.
And sure it wouldn't be a normal day without changing a chuck and brush ring and brushes.

Thank you for the relevant, no nonsense, humor without trying, educational and entertaining content; and helping other people keep moving on their projects. Way to set an example, and the bar, Dean.

[@michaelfairchild]

Watching your videos, Im glad that I went with Makita and Brushless tools.

[@tamask001]

Whenever I see a Paslode teardown, I get the feeling that it was designed in an alternative universe. All non-Paslode tools are substantially similar in construction and techniques, but Paslode is different from all of them (e.g. the twist-off ignition unit, ice-cream-bar-shaped battery, weird zig-zaggy cooling fins, free-floating pins, etc.)

[@enzoperruccio]

I like when companies do this, means they stand by their designs and don't follow stupid trends.

[@richiejames928]

Probably because they were the first to do it and patented a few design details. other brands copied and adjusted to stay above the copyright laws. some improved on the design and some made it worse 😂

[@deandohertygreaser]

Paslode is the original gas gun. Every other brand simply tries to copy it legally. But they are simply not a palsode.

[@agnosticevolutionist3567]

The french invented the paslode china built it ,i met the guy who designed both of the originals pas lode is a french word

[@agnosticevolutionist3567]

Is that watch dean a Casio 1986 model

[@mickgreen850]

I got a drill back from you to day a very good job thank for that

[@rogerhodges7656]

I am amazed with every video! You demonstrate so much skill and knowledge.

[@jamessiebert9833]

Great work mate, enjoying your no nonsense ways

[@jdmccorful]

Tha IM360 was the icing on the cake. Then you came back with the circular saw that was pretty well destroyed and ready for the dump. Great job! Thanks for the look.

[@shack_67]

Awsome vids, love the level of detail in your work.

[@AlexKall]

Thank you! Didn't know there was a setscrew for the angle on me makita battery circular saw, noticed it was a wee bit off. Now I know and can fix it!

[@johnblake3863]

I'm learning a lot. I appreciate it because I enjoy problem solving and fixing things.

[@no.3gardenoffeedin950]

Absolutely love watching a master at work, and great instructional talk through.

[@daanleonmacedo9341]

Wow! It's marvelous! Greetings from Perú (South America).

[@dimitarmladenski1367]

3d printing a new door for the nail gun. Would be an interesting experiment

[@MrGUSARIK]

Thank you, Dean, so interesting to watch.

[@ClaudiuLichi]

I am amazed by your skills .... Congrats !!!!

[@williamjacobs236]

Another great video Dean .

[@davetaylor4741]

I have had so many Paslode guns apart over the years. I still have four. Never seen an 18 gauge. They have only just come out in Australia.

[@maryweston4354]

Great content,explained in detail, to a laymen it’s fascinating, how did you learn so much with so many different designs ,make s and models, really interesting , better than watching tv.thanks again best wishes to you and yours for the new year.tim

[@rscelectrical7091]

Brilliant content. Have to be fair your memory is way better than mine, I'd be taking pictures or looking for an online parts diagram especially for the nail guns 👍.

[@davidhollfelder9940]

I’m surprised that in my lifelong handy/trades/craft travels, I’ve never seen or heard of Paslode, a major brand (so I just found out), that’s been around for decades.

[@frankstanton4712]

Great content , facinated what you do,

[@ilfordjedi]

My Sunday is complete.

[@andrewlacerenza667]

Every video you have to cut off a drill chuck with a grinder. I don't repair tools but you've just taught me chucks are a common issue

[@prasadvn524]

You are a real tool wizard.So happy to see you repair the power tools.often times I wish you were a surgeon so that many human lives would have been saved

[@alasdairhamilton1574]

Superb 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@juiceofsapho]

Washing time, yaaay 😊

[@jimmydeicide2202]

I fixed a broken battery contact piece in my paslode today thanks Dean you pumped me up to do it cheers. what over the counter cleaner would you recommend to clean all the parts .

[@Tammybuilt2337]

i have one of those paslod nail guns....been sitting in shed many years. i never cared for it ....i should lube it up good and sell it i guess lol....still have the case for it also

[@butchergonemad6520]

Nice one

[@cinderswolf3929]

i wish you were closer id send you a box full of tools i have collected for repair

[@rebkhai]

How do you keep track of which screw goes where? Amazing work.

[@redsoundptyltd7190]

I enjoy work, I could watch it all day! Seriously I enjoy your series and the deft touch you have particularly with reassembly. Do you think that you could drop in here in Sydney Australia? I have a few tools to repair and I would love to be able to chat with you. Come on, it only about 17,000 Km away and you would have such fun here in the warm weather!

[@NOBODYNOSE1]

I had a DCN692 with a hidden jam. A small chunk of bent nail was jammed between motor and the housing. It would creak and then flash like that. Left side motor frame was cracked in th 90 bend at the back. Firing pin had had grooves beneath the 'wings'.

[@jameshendrix8217]

Hey love your channel, have you ever posted a video of a cordless non gas hitachi/metabo nailer stripdown and service?

[@richardmccann4815]

Hi Dean! Do you do air tool refurbs? Nailers, mainly. Your video would be a boon to us diy-ers! Thanks for showing us how its done!

[@ncooty]

He's done some. You might search his channel for nailer or Metabo. I don't think he repairs many Sencos, because the parts have become too hard to get after Brexit.

[@radonyizsolt]

I have no idea how you don't lose a million screws/day. Great content though!

[@jo9732]

Dean, thanks for these videos. I"m really enjoying the repairs you do. Do you ever end up repairing lower end stuff? For home gamers like me, a ryobi is good enough but i'm not sure if those are repairable at all.

[@deandohertygreaser]

Sometimes

[@Stevos-Corner]

Gday Dean what’s going to shite itself first? A gas nail gun or a battery powered one. I know you’ve said stay away from Dewalt as they don’t sell spare parts for the battery powered guns if the motor or trigger or controller decides to die.

[@dannym670]

Hi Dean, have you repaired any mafell tools before? I have an 18v mafell tracksaw that I accidentally knocked off of a worktop and it sounds like a bag of nails! My local tool repair place has had it for 5 weeks, when I contacted them last week for an update they reckon they were pulling their hair out and couldn't find the issue, still waiting to hear.

[@redaarnoub7835]

What do you think about AEG tools? Never seen you fixing one before

[@Theflyingpotato]

Great videos, just found your channel. What fluid do you use as a backup in the parts washer?

[@AJVAN_]

What type of grease do you use for angle grinder gearbox?

[@jonashermansson2519]

Can you damage the gearbox or chuck lock when smacking with the hammer?

[@Abstr4cted]

How is the quality of the bosch professional 12v line?

[@nathkrupa3463]

Great work sir 👏

[@robertweeks7993]

gave ya a wee like

[@sorinmihalache71]

Hello! In your experience, which brand breaks down the least?

[@CreativeCarpentry]

What’s the liquids you use for cleaning? Great videos thanks

[@ammoan2005]

Makita made by the planet of Japan

[@7910burm]

👍👍👍👍👍

First time I see you cut open a chuck on a makita, 99% of the time its a dewalt, matter of fact I never seen you replace a dewalt chuck the normal way.

[@deandohertygreaser]

That's because newer dewalt drills don't have a center screw. They are torqued on with lock tight. You can't take them of the normal way. You can either cut them of, ( much faster and safer) or dismantle the gearbox and clamp the spindle directly and use a large wrench to torque it off. But I have twisted and snapped a few spindles this way.

[@wahabsarker5623]

How can bring it Bangladesh?

[@nathanguerin546]

Hi Dean I’ve been using Milwaukee and dewalt for 2 years and now I can’t stand then anymore I’m looking to buy new powertools and I don’t no what brand to get because I do a lot of work in Ireland and Estonia

[@ncooty]

After having watched several of his videos, my guess is that he's going to say: 1. It depends on what kind of work-- e.g., the brands will be different for battery vs. pneumatic (and maybe vs. corded/ mains). 2. Go with a brand that can be serviced where you live (e.g., parts availability). 3. In general: Makita or Bosch. (Other brands are probably fine for specific tools--e.g., Hitachi, DeWalt if you can get parts, Hilti.) That's just my guess. Interested in Dean's reply.

[@deandohertygreaser]

Unless your using nail guns and table saws, I'd go with makita

[@jimmycalling9134]

You broke the chuck lock hitting it with a hammer wingback

[@noelcahill6707]

Dean do you ever get sht fed up of working on some makes that are the same problems coming in the door to you and would companies ever be intouch with you on common problems on there products

[@ncooty]

He's expressed a lot of frustration (including specific criticisms) with Milwaukee tools--e.g., flimsy switches, control boards not protected/ isolated.

[@andrewlacerenza667]

I also love how you just toss the parts and hardware after dismantling

[@analogsmog]

adding to the algorithm.

[@fibrodad1354]

Can that door for the Plas nail gun not be 3d printed

[@deandohertygreaser]

No 3d printer material would be to rigid. They have to bend at the end

[@bobwatson957]

not 3d print a new door

[@agnosticevolutionist3567]

The state of these tools are a disgrace to the muppets using them ,my tools look like new and 20 years old

[@joaocosta3374]

That Makita went back to the costumer with a nasty cut. Nothing that makes it non functional, still a tad ugly. Perhaps a smaller disc next time???

[@davidwgreen2403]

still mumbling in your microphone

[@polyclot1976]

get bigger speakers

[@boberson83]

He's speaking quite clearly for an Irishman so you might just need to listen to more Irish content.

[@ncooty]

For some reason, this comment made me smile. It seems like a good wee Irish grumble. :)
