Restoration of the Rusty Vintage Impact Driver - Hitachi WH8DB3

I purchased it for $4. It's a rusty vintage Hitachi Impact Driver, model WH8DB3. Due to water damage, its electric motor suffered severe rusting, and the battery is no longer functional. In this video, I will demonstrate the restoration process, including repairing the electric motor and upgrading the battery from Ni-Cd to lithium
* Impact drive Information *
- Brand: Hitachi
- Model: WH 8DB3
- VOLTS: DC9.6V
- Hex Shank: 6.35 mm (1/4")
- Rotation speed:0-2200 rpm
I'm very happy to receive your feedback, advice, suggestions to improve myself.

The motor parts are electroplated at the factory. Once you wire wheel off the rust and rest of the plating, those bare metal parts starts to rust again pretty quickly. I think you should put on somekind of coating or electro plate them again, if you have planned to really use that impact driver. Otherwise the rust will seize the motor again. Nice save, well done nevertheless!

Thank you, I will try to do better next time

Hya @WCKD, sorry to bug you, but would Nickel Plating work in this instance, instead of Electroplating? I only ask because another channel I watch is AJ Restorations, and he deals mainly with small--(mower type)--engines. He does a lot of Nickel plating for the smaller items on these engines like, bolts, nuts, washers etc, etc. @HBrestoration: Do not worry, we are all here to learn off other peoples knowledge and their experiences! It does not matter that a restorer does not have a sandblast machine, or a bearing puller, these thing's can be overcome with ''other methods'' of removal, so do not worry unduly my friend, you are doing just great as you are--(just keep on buying NEW bearing's for your restorations, OR repack not-so-bad bearings with good grease...this is MY biggest bug bear, and what I look for in all restorations!!)--keep up the good work that you are doing!! (From Mikky, on his wifes computer...SHHH!!)

No use trashing older hand power tools, just convert them like you did and use them for many more years. Nice conversion and outcome... Thumbs Up!

[@ahmednour1946]

What kind of paint did you use for painting black the rusty screws ?

[@hbrestoration]

I use hf425 solution

[@ahmednour1946]

@hbrestoration I don't know what are you talking about? Can you send me picture of product?

[@nelchan2421]

6:17 i use vinegar to remove the rust

[@hbrestoration]

I haven't seen anyone use it 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@nelchan2421]

@@hbrestoration Soak it in vinegar for 2 days to make sure the rust is removed, then use a pressure washer to remove rust particles from the magnet and use contact cleaner. worked for me.

[@HelloHello-hk4sx]

So it's run by AA batteries basically?
