It's Hammer time. Repairing a selection of Bosch and Ryobi kango hammers

It always shocks me to hear people say they didn't know hammers like these worth repairing.
It's crazy to me that someone would dump an 800 euro Hammer simply because it stopped working or hammering.
9 times out of 10 hammers like this can be fixed up again for less than 100 euro.
In fact the most expensive of this lot was only 82euro.
Even a full strip and service on a big SDS MAX kango Hammer like these would be less than 200.
A new machine would cost 4 times that.
It's not unusual for me to get a 20 year old hammer in for its 3rd or 4th service.

Despite the fact that I hardly know one end of a screwdriver from the other, I can't stop watching these videos!! You popped up in my feed about a week ago and I can't tell you the number of hours I have lost, getting drawn deeper and deeper down this rabbit hole!! I particularly like these "long form" vids. As others have said, your intimate knowledge of these machines is immense. It is a testament to what must be years of experience dismantling and rebuilding all different types of drills, nail guns, grinders, jig saws and the rest! Without even plugging in or fitting a battery, I've seen you fiddle with a grinder or drill chuck and diagnose a problem. 9 times out of 10 you are correct! I fear that even at 60 years old, I might take up woodworking just so I can give some of these machines a try in person!! (And try to fix them when they inevitably break down 1 day after the warranty expires!! LOL!!)

[@deandohertygreaser]

im glad you like them. thank you. and woodworking is a fantastic hoddy to take up. i do woodworking myself.

[@tomalcolm]

What a champ. I’ve gone down the rabbit hole with Mr. Doherty. Keep it up!

[@jazko]

Same. His videos are so well presented I actually got the confidence to fix an old fein grinder, laying around in my shop for years. Bought a second broken machine and scavenged parts to make mine work again.

[@michaelfairchild]

If youre cold, grab a Milwaukee tool to fix, that will get ya blood pumping 😅

[@maxpulido]

Grab an M18 battery and put it through 7 charge cycles. Free hand warmer.

[@Jihadbearzwithgunz]

Only works for about 4 to 8 months then dies

[@JuanjeteMS]

Here sitting in my sofa watching this guy repair tools.. I'm the only one who relaxes this?

[@Lumens2014]

Been watching for a while, just dawned on me beyond just enjoying the content that the knowledge, speed and efficiency that I'm watching is mastery of a craft that I hadn't ever really considered before. I'm only an occasional user of power tools but Mastery is Mastery no matter the craft. Brilliant content Dean. Cheers.

[@bigteddy66]

Couldn't agree more, deans type are a dying breed. I wonder over the years how many machines he has saved from landfill. Good man.

[@user-pw1bt3fj4x]

Love watching any repair videos, stumbled across you about a month ago. Binged all your videos within the week and now I'm a regular, feel myself starting to twitch when I've not had my daily Dean fix. Loving your dedication with these long videos, I actually get excited when I see one pop up. Learning a tonne, didn't even know how the mechanics of these power tools worked beforehand. Keep them coming Dean 👍

[@Stevos-Corner]

Gday Dean looks like someone filled that Ryobi hammer full of Vegemite mate. 😂😂😂😂

[@walterbwd]

When people talk crap saying you took something apart and didnt put it back together show them this video hahaha

[@jdmccorful]

Great job on that last hammer drill, brought it back to life! Thanks for the look and your experiences!

[@deanobenito]

Love these longer videos dean I’ve learnt so much really appreciate it 💚🙏💯👊

[@gucu]

Thanks for the tip with the screws, very handy.

[@JefBo-hw5ns]

I'm new to this channel and very impressed by Dean's expertise...and then he brings out the Ryobi spares manuals. Oh boy, how do you even compete with that. The guy's a repair god.

[@stevejagger8602]

I'm also new to this channel - referred from a fellow engineer. I am also a lifetime repairer, in my case of television and electronic and electrical equipment. You cannot properly repair/service anything without a service manual or a circuit diagram or exploded mechanical diagram plus you have to be able to understand what you are looking at which requires years of experience. Dean clearly has all of the qualities required.

[@RogerEbert-vy5pv]

First time watching today. It's great. 🇺🇸

[@jeffleake1960]

can you imagine a milwaukee power tool made today still been in use 20 years later .

[@boazboem]

Learning a lot from your videos, you are a grate teacher. Thank you for your efforts.

[@yo.mama100]

😂 that old Ryobi is an outstanding tool I could tell just from how much metal is still on it

[@georgebonney90]

These repair videos are great Sir👍

[@garygallagher7269]

I have one of them Ryobi hammers 2006, still going the best, but it might be worth having a look at the O rings, your videos are really enjoyable to watch and a wealth of knowledge. Thanks a million

[@enzoperruccio]

You should remove the O-rings before cleaning the pistons.

[@akshomeimprovements]

Thank you

[@kerrygleeson4409]

Great work Dean 🦘

[@deandohertygreaser]

Thanks 👍

[@alasdairhamilton1574]

Dean it’s Friday you have earned your 🍺🍺.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@tonyotago8309]

Cheers to Friday

[@leehaz1]

When you do continuity tests could you explain what points the probes need to touch please Dean. Just cant get my head around it. Thanks

[@marwanmukhtar]

Great content really! I wonder what kind of cleaning agent you use to clean the internal parts from grease.

[@kjellrogerjgensen60]

I can see you have done this a lot of times.👍

[@scon2006]

Do you guys repair dehumidifiers, probably a low gas issue , it was probably 12-18 months old when it stopped collecting water, as far as I remember it’s a good make ( Andrew’s) and was about €600, it a small commercial one, cheers, fantastic videos by the way, you must have the patients of a saint 😁

[@rossnolan2883]

Super 😊😊

[@repairs524]

Dean can you please send a link where to get that Hilti Greece as I have tried their website and everywhere and can't find it

[@georgekchristou2182]

Lovely job mate keep it up hiltigx3 nails gun service when you can thank you

[@leog842]

I have twp old bosch rotary hammers 11203 ( from 1990) or smth like that (its eu 230v). One is working, and the other one not. Are there still parts for them or is it all obsolete?

[@sheehanjean950]

Hey good day mr Doherty, I am thinking of getting an ingco demolition hammer are they any good? Its to do some trenching around my house.

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

Love to hear your thoughts on snap-on or Mac power tools

[@maxpulido]

Boutique stuff that doesn't have a spot in the workplace unless you're trying to church it up for the customer. JK I've only ever used snap on air tools, and DeWalt/Milwaukee electric leaves snap on pneumatic looking like a joke. Their electric stuff would have to be damn fine to justify. I doubt it is.

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

@maxpulido I have snap-on electric drills and electric ratchet and impacts. I haven't had any problems with them yet. I have had them 3 years. But they dont see much work these days. My favorite, though, is an electric ratchet from MAC. I got in 2013. I used and abused the poor thing. It's so beat up, but it still works great. I bought 2 lipo batteries for it when I got it new. They have to have several 1000 cycles. used them daily for 8 years. Before i retired. They still work great. I love snap-on and Mac hand tools. But I have been curious how well they Stack up to other brands. You definitely pay a Premium. Just Curious are they worth it.

[@erinsquirkychannel501]

Opened a few of Milwaukee tools and the grease was just sitting in around the gears was not even on any of the damn gears so put it on the gears that's why they fail too

[@ciaranfagan4795]

Dean, what is the best grease to use on hammer drills and where can it be bought. Tnx.

[@maxmat4004]

Thanks for the video, do you have one where you take the engine off from a ryobi hammer please, whenbi opened mine, i have a ball bearing and a fan propeller but i can't take it off...

[@maxmat4004]

If you have an email, can i send you a picture?

[@lukada83]

Anyone know the part number for the Bosch heavy grease? Or some similar stuff? Also that light grease he is spreading.

[@erinsquirkychannel501]

Be cool to do like one brand of each u get in that day makita dewalt Bosch hilti skill Milwaukee impacts how there built and the parts you can get for them if any or hammer drill, grinder ex...

[@Krzysztof-dc1kr]

Przyjacielu doradź mi czy biały smar syntetyczny wysokotemperaturowy będzie się nadawał do takiego młota?

[@Velvet77618]

what material is on your table? seems soft ish and cleans up easily

[@deandohertygreaser]

Linoleum

[@marski-vv4qb]

What’s the box you use to test the chipping hammers on is it an old transformer box or a big slug of lead

[@deandohertygreaser]

Transformer

[@GreenJimll]

I don't know what it is that's in Dean's yellow "hammer drill test box" but they should make tanks from it. 🙂

[@lukelegg9915]

it was a 240 to 120 transformer at some point, so guessing whatever they used to pot/seal the transformer

[@jameskessler2592]

the grease that you apply with the small brush ? is that lithium grease? thanks for these videos

[@jameskessler2592]

on one of the other videos it says hilti on the container but I can't read the number -maybe 26193 ?

[@douglasr.c.5622]

When it comes to disassembly, the man wastes no time.... LOL

[@emanuelmifsud6754]

Plenty of editing especially for the missing screw or part.

[@steviesb7480]

Are the o rings not generic metric or imperial? Are they standard rubber?

[@emanuelmifsud6754]

O rings are made of neoprene rubber and size could be either.

[@jayslife775]

You dont charge ebough at all for your skills, 69 qwid for the first repair is far too cheap mate. If you dont know something about powertools, no one does. Your a beast

[@jonashermansson2519]

What type of grease do you use? Rebuilding a HM0860c with new grease. Br

[@deandohertygreaser]

I mainly use use bosch 001 heavy grease and bosch 015 on most hammers. For oil I use the 019 bosch.

[@noquedaniuno]

Does anyone knows what kind of Grease you should use on this machines? I can see he uses a silicone based one or something...

[@houcinezorgui4201]

Hello, how are you Thank you for your wonderful videos, keep it up Please, I would like a small favor from you How do I get power tools parts list RYOBI? I want a link to the pdf Download. With my best regards

[@akshomeimprovements]

Hello need your help got a DeWalt DCS512N 12V XR circular saw. And it only works when you spin the blade and then it starts. It's brand new

[@deandohertygreaser]

Return it. The controler board is about yo fail completely

[@jazko]

what solution are you using for the parts washer?

[@ChadTolkien]

Think he mentioned in another vid that it's kerosene

[@emanuelmifsud6754]

Try half kerosene and half diesel

[@tomatito2784]

You always Make it look so easy😂.. I got a question My Bosch GBH- 2-26 der stopt working with a short cuircuit failure Question is what can it be?😅 I cant test because the fuses wil be blown out . Hope there is a simple solution

[@belaschaub5361]

Did it overheat on the last use? Might be melted coils on the stator

[@tomatito2784]

Yes it was after a day of continous working

[@joverdiaz5226]

Que voltaje es ????

[@erinsquirkychannel501]

Could u do a 30sec video on taking out old and putting new carbon brushes in back/butt of makita 18V XPH-10Z concrete DRILL Please Dean Thank You would love to know how to do it when it will need done buying makita getting rid of my Milwaukee shit

[@gmill0188]

When he was fixing the old blue Ryobi hammer, he said that it can't work well with too much grease. Can someone explain why?

[@mateuszQRDL]

The mating surfaces of the gears should be covered with grease that sloshes freely in that compartment. You don't want the con rod and the eccentric gear to have to work through that viscous fluid as some percent of power will have to be spent in that fight. You can lose power output and/or burn the motor.

[@homeless007]

🎉

[@jeffleake1960]

is our guy using Bosch because that's the brand he believes in , or is it a customers repair job that they never returned for so he started using it ?

[@deandohertygreaser]

No I simply built a few drills or of scap ones laying around

[@BurnzyXXD]

😀

[@castleladpaza76]

Does anyone know what type of that white/creamy grease is thanks.

[@tedwilliams8766]

from what ive seen so far, the lubes dean uses are hilti, bosch and makita brands. kinda spendy but cheaper than a new rotor hammer.

[@maxpulido]

​@@tedwilliams8766that doesn't answer the question

[@mattjenkin1258]

The power tool brands keep which greases they use pretty secret but they'll all be available or have a direct equivalent but it's nigh on impossible to accurately identify the exact makeup of each one without either insider information or a mass spectrometer. Dewalt use a grease made by Fuchs called Renolit Paragon EP1/2, I know a Fuchs rep and he can't find any tech data sheets for it, he recons it's something they make (or label up) specially for Black and Decker group, It'll most likely be a synthetic base oil, lithium soap, EP bearing grease with high temp additives in a semi fluid weight.

[@josephmcdonnell9514]

Are Ryobi tools good or not? 🤔

[@maxpulido]

For the money I think so. In the past they were really quite nice. I think easily up there with Bosch or DeWalt. Now they're not as good, but the line-up has expanded so much, and Ryobi has stood behind their batteries so strongly, that it doesn't matter.

[@lukelegg9915]

i use them on occasion alongside my DeWalts, mainly as a backup, never really had issues and they make good enough power for medium duty stuff, cant speak on super heavy use tho
