Battery Rebuild & Refresh Vintage Cordless Impact Wrench | Makita 6900D

2 things made me interested in your videos. 1. I like the way you restore, perfectionist. 2. I am a person who is obsessed with Japanese brands, especially Japanese powertools brands. Thanks for your amazing videos.

[@gear_show]

I'm you like Japan tools.

Japanese tools are garbage bruh ahahahhhhhhhh This thing which I can only describe as a toy would struggle to loosen a 13mm my Milwaukee can take lug nuts like it’s nothing

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

Nice!!! Nickel metal Hydride is actually an improvement over the old Nickel Cadmiums, or Ni-Cads, some people called them.... Tell me you are old, without telling me you are old.... Okay, I owned that tool. It was very nice, and desirable when new. I had that, and a 7.2 volt cordless drill-screwdriver type tool. Both were super nice. I have been a Makita fanboy ever since. I was pretty young then... those were really cool tools back then... Our minds were blown wide open when Makita came out with battery powered tools that really worked, and provided legitimate power & performance for real work.... Great job on this one!

[@gear_show]

Thank you :)

[@alexandres8846]

good restoration. nimh batteries are actually very good. One problem is cell imbalance. One way to correct the imbalance is to solder a 1k ohm shunt resistor across all the cells to be permanently balanced at 1.2 milliamps. the information is from the internet old satellites that operated with nickel batteries.

[@Teknopottu]

Never heard about this trick. Have to look into it. Thanks!

[@gear_show]

Oh, that is great tip, thank you!

انت رائع جعلت من مفك قديم اله جديد You are amazing, you made an old screwdriver a new machine

[@garymucher4082]

Perfect refurbishing of both the power tool its self and the battery as well. And since you did rebuild everything, you now have a tool that will last for years. I too enjoy rebuilding such power tools, but usually I buy used DeWalt types that are in need of repair and repair them so all my tools use the same battery types and chargers... Thumbs Up!

[@joshlampe3458]

It's interesting to see the evolution of power tools, and clean and well thought out the designs were at the start. Now they all must have clunky external batteries, rubber grips that fail quickly, and are required to look like a ray gun that was taken off a space ship. Great job on this restoration, you did that beautiful tool justice!

You can't beat quality. I bet if the batteries hadn't failed and become obsolete, most of those old Makitas would still be in use.

[@Teknopottu]

These tools never become obsolete as long as someone restores or retrofits them. Li-ion conversion with USB charge connection installed would be peace of cake on these tools.

[@liveoak4124]

I bought 2 of the 9000 series drills a few years back at a flea market. Just needed to wire brush the contacts and get replacement battery packs (eBay $12 each). Love them and been using them for 2 or 3 years now with zero problems. Great tools!

I rebuilt mine with Lithium-ion 18650 cells works great and using an RC charger to charge the pack. its 9.6v nicad so i used 3 18650 cells in series for 10.8 volts works great and is now very light in weight. can be done to 7.2v nicad pack using 2 cells of 18650 in series.

I have a dozen virtually useless Makita battery powered tools. Can you make and ship refurbished 4.8 , 7.2, 9.6 batteries to Canada? Will you get the spring and stake a Ball in the chuck to retain sockets? Very very nicely done Sir.

[@Teknopottu]

Why not retrofit them with Li-ion batteries and USB charge connectors? 4,2V, 8,4V and 12,6V should be close enough to make them work.

[@gordbaker896]

@@Teknopottu Do You have a small spot welder and a shop that sells those batteries? I don't.

[@gordbaker896]

@@Teknopottu USB does not charge above 5.5 volts.

[@pgpilot3884]

​​@@gordbaker896 you asked to make and ship refurbished batteries with old chemistry NiMh cells so why not ask someone to refurbish your own batteries with lithiums cells instead?

[@Teknopottu]

@@gordbaker896 If getting a 100€ spotwelder and used cells from everywhere is your biggest problem then great, you are almost there! Regular USB uses 5V that can be boosted with a converter chip on any constant voltage required, cost couple of euros. You could also use USB-C with fixed voltage trigger to get 20V and with buck converter drop it to desired voltage if beefier charger is needed.

I did a similar job with a DEWALT nickel-cadmium screwdriver. Unfortunately, the new batteries bought on Aliexpress turned out to be of poor quality. 😞 I didn’t try again, I bought a new screwdriver with lithium batteries. 🙂 You did a good job, Like.

[@Teknopottu]

You could try with old laptop batteries. Many cells from them are still 90% of their original capacity. All you need is Liitokala or similar battery charger/tester costing about 20€ and sort out the bad cells. There are lots of videos about it, been doing this for years.

They make tools of all sorts and colours here in the UK although like 90% of their tools are teal blue you still see either red, orange or green in rare cases BUT in Japan Makita's home country they have all sorts of colours. if you look for Japanese imports of Makita tools you can easily find black/white/grey/yellow/purple/orange etc...
