Mystery box power tool, can the machine inside be reassembled and repaired ??

That has to be one of your best videos' Dean. To take a box of bits (possibly 30 bits) and assemble a machine that runs so sweet. It's absolutely increasable. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@Д.Неуловимый]

This hammer is a real hellraiser. And you are a hero, savior of neglected tools.

[@meetv7700]

From a box destined to scrap to a working power tool. Dean has proven himself once again.

[@Soltra45]

These videos are like therapy for me.

[@robinandersson2504]

How long have you done this Dean? The past 10 years I’ve always teared down my tools to get them a service and the past years I opened a small part in my business that repairs tools (if it’s not more worth to buy new one). Found your channel a while ago and you are a inspiration for sure! You can always fix/repair stuff, get the society to consume less ! You do a really nice job Dean!

[@rogierius]

What kind of grease do you use when servicing your tools?

[@davidneville1712]

Ever since I found your channel, your knowledge and abilities have blown me away, you sir, are a master repairer, and to know when something is beyond viable help is a skill I wish for myself, bravo Dean!

[@Jimmydents2]

Man I wished I lived closer to Dean. I would hang out with him all the time.

[@classydays43]

This old thing has been popping off for 18 years and half the parts are barely worn out. Even if Makita made a good tool then, the owner was kind enough to it to let it last and even tried to keep it going himself. It's served them well enough to care about it and that is what a tool is meant to be.

[@BWright69]

Do you sell refurbished tools? Because you are someone i would trust buying them from. Great content got me hooked pal.❤

Your understanding of these machines is impressive! Well done!!

Man, don’t you just get the best of packages! By any chance did the guy who delivered this look kinda goofy and say “alrighty then?!” (Ace Ventura) Dean Doherty, the Tool Detective! I have to say you’re not often stumped and you DO like a good challenge! Job well done sir! You must have really put your parents through the paces after Christmas when growing up, tearing apart your toys to see what makes them tick… (it takes one to know one) I did it one year within a couple of hours after Santa brought me a tool kit😉 Thanks for taking us along👍🏼👍🏼

Impressive job, I always pass on these sort of repairs to not get frustrated or end up with a bad/non working machine.

Hi Dean, that was great, i still have 2 of these, they are the best light weight breaker we have ever had, power to weight, light enough you can use them all day 👍

[@zymurgist8844]

I enjoy the forensic aspect of discovering root cause, but the least they could have done is clean the parts before dropping them in Dean's lap!

[@luthmhor]

From what I’ve seen, nail guns and then hammer drills are the most complex tools Dean repairs on a regular basis. It seems like the more expensive they are, the more parts, and the more complicated -like Hilti hammers for example. But nothing frustrates or turns away repairmen more than someone who brings them a box of parts 😂.

[@RyeOnHam]

Always love the bag guns that come in for reassembly. USUALLY there is nothing wrong but I have yet to receive a gun in pieces that is complete and undamaged. Everything from missing major parts down to half a flat-head screw top missing.

[@Aaronsx8px4ki3z]

Great job amazing Dean wish i had the knowledge like you

[@shifty277]

Great rundown into what came in - what was presenting itself to be faulty/worn and how you went about replacing suh bits and even having a container with parts in specific to this hammer. Bravo. I saw the section in the last video about the 2amp hour Hikoki batteries being dead on arrival - will the owner of the shop be able to get his money back from Hikoki UK if he sends those back? Also have you had a look at the new Tabless 18/36v multi-volt battery if you stock it in your shop? Thumbs up.

[@valtramatt]

You washed those parts unbelievably fast! How did you do that?

[@bwzuell]

Great, absolutely great.

[@gavinstone3769]

Very Impressive 👍

[@robbiemulholland6477]

These videos are excellent Dean! Out of interest, what is the ‘heavier grease’ you use in the syringe? I used to be a tool tech on industrial assembly tools in a car plant and we used black molybdenum grease in the gearboxes. We were always told by Atlas Copco that it was the wrong stuff (there’s was a dark green colour). We never seemed to have an issue with the moly though. Keep up the good work 👍

[@deandohertygreaser]

the heavy stuff is a bosch gear grease 001. moly grease will also work fine for the hammer but a little to thick for the motor, it can put to much extra load on it can increase the chance of the tool burning out.

[@robbiemulholland6477]

@ thanks for the reply and information 😎

[@bionicman6969]

Not near as good as Dean at tool repair but have done my fair share, one thing I won't fix is a box full of disassembled parts, just don't want do deal with it. This dude is legendary.

[@1978JonBullock]

Nice repair Dean some would have said it was scrap. €220 is far cheaper than buying a new machine.

[@ToolTimeToday]

You Da Man!! I probably would have taken one look at that box & turned it away,lol. I need to work on my patience a bit i guess, The end result was amazing for sure on that sds.

Good evening I was offered a paslode im360ci but there is a problem it fires one nail and the fireing pin stay can I fix it myself.

[@LaLaLand.Germany]

Dear Sir, I like and enjoy Your contributions to the cause. You are using different greases thru the machines- I´d like to re grease my 125mm angle grinders and a big 230 one. What lube would You recommend, are You using something "universal"? I only have one original Makita, the rest is Parkside and chinesium …something. They all still work but for my conscience I want to clean them out and redo them. Even my brand new chinesium battery grinder has seemingly old, rather hard grease in it. I know there´s something called "flow grease" ad it comes in different grades- I have no experience with that. I have normal bearing grease and the LiquiMoly LM47 schmoo. The LM is my favourite but I don´t know about how it fares with high rpm things. And how much to put in- roughly? I wish You a HAPPY New Year, thanks for Your work.

Dean usually mixes up between the drills and impacts he uses for assembly/disassembly. He has a copy Makita that he tore down and reviewed and was impressed with. Also and old Bosch combi, an old brushed makita combi and even a bosch impact.

To receive a mystery box of bits like that seems a bit extreme - does that happen often?

[@johnmolnar2957]

amazing save from the dead

[@liveryman55]

How do you control your stock? Do you reorder parts after each repair. You virtually always have parts in stock. Do you just add the parts used to a list and do a big order when required.

[@BarniRepairs]

I think he mentioned once that every time he does have to order a part that he doesn't have, he orders more of it. He also mentioned that he took over this job from another gentleman who did it for years and thats why there is a lot of old stock.

If anyone can put a box of parts together its this guy

im curious why do you have gloves on when you are washing the parts but not when you are taking it apart because your hands gets more dirty when dismantling the tool then washing the tool

He needs more dexterity dismantling the tool, the gloves protect the skin from the harsh chemicals used for washing out the machine
