Power Tool repairathon, a real mixed lot of tools in this box of repairs. Some fixed, some NWF

[@ronaldbechler1162]

Dean: I'm retired and have a small engine repair shop at my home. About 3 months ago I came across your site and have not missed a video. I stick a thumbs up before I even watch your video. While this has nothing to do with small engine repair, I applaud you for your knowledge and what you do. Thanks for all the great videos. Ron Bechler Michigan USA

[@deandohertygreaser]

Great to hear, thank you

[@philgallagher1]

Brilliant work, Dean, as usual! I much prefer these long videos with multiple machines. It gives a clearer idea of your day-to-day work schedule. Thanks for sharing!

[@MargaretWynn-h5e]

You do a very good job. It is so satisfying seeing you repair things. Wish the parts you need were cheaper so you could repair everything. I am a bit disappointed when it is not cost effective to repair an item. Still its great to get a new power tool. From Margaret In Edinburgh

[@glengee4462]

Love it, efficient and straight to the point as you should be. Hope you’re charging for the diagnostic as it’s costing you time. Great to see a professional

[@stefanzink8805]

Hi Dean, never commented on one of your videos so far. I'm more of a quiet watcher until today. I stumbled over your channel a few months ago whilst searching for coffe machine repair videos and i was impressed by your skills and knowlege of machine repair. Your Videos inspired me to dig out some of my old corded machines out of a drawer in my basement. A collection of two old orbital sanders,( bosch and metabo)- two old planers,( bosch and metabo as well, one beltsander from bosch and two drill's also, one bosch and a metabo. Luckily the most of them needed only a set of new bearings. The drills needed switches. No fixing for the metabo drill ,because of its age there is no switch available any longer. The other ones are fine now and it makes me happy that i can use them again. Thank you so much sharing this good repair videos with us. Learned a lot whilst watching and listening to your good explanations and tips.😊 I'm now a follower since seven or eight month, but still curious for new content. Thanks for sharing and all the effort you put in. Kind regards from an 55 years old handcrafter from germany .

[@gplusgplus2286]

In these old machines the switch could be a generic switch, try to look for markings on the switch and google. Also google images helps.

[@stefanzink8805]

@@gplusgplus2286 its an old metabo 1010 watts with with an magnetic speed sensor on the end of the rotor. Very specific . Maybe i take a closer look for an generic but i'm not very confident. Nevertheless, thank you for suggestion. ;-)

[@willtricks9432]

I have been repairing tools I own for years and can watch this channel and learn every time I do. Thanks again

Great viewing Dean thanks for sharing 🦘

[@patrikalmblad]

It's fun when you think about it, it's a saturday, just open a bottle a wine and sitting infront of the TV and watching machines get repaired, still thousand of times better than the eurovision someone forced me to watch last weekend. Got a Makita HR005G that I need to take apart on monday, shit won't hammer :)

[@keithmatthews1673]

Oh I don't know - watching some non-binary bloke(?) dressed as a newly hatched chick balancing on a spinning top had its moments! Dean could get a whole new audience with some non-binary tool repairs! 🙃

Well done dean you an inspiration to us all

Hello Dean.Your pretty, colourful hammers are making me very envious 😊

[@racekar80]

If I took a shot every time you said torture, I would be drunk this episode! Good job Don’t understand some of these craftsman, take care of your tools! I would never let my tools get destroyed like these. Five min at the end of the day to clean things up everyday.

[@smashyrashy]

Problem is youre too tired at the end of the day, want to get home so cleaning up or cleaning tools is the last thing anyone wants to do

[@markojuros6533]

Good job man.

[@bladeoflucatiel]

If manufacturers made the spare parts avaiable and for a fair price most of those tools wouldnt end up in the land fill, but I guess they just want you to buy a new one each time.

[@alouisschafer7212]

Why you should buy and support Bosch and Makita their tools are repairable and they have every part as a spare.

[@bladeoflucatiel]

​@@alouisschafer7212to a certain extent yes, but they make some tools unrepairable by making the full motor assembly+switch+controller a single part and a very expensive one. Bosch customer service is top notch tho, just the other day I ordered a new chuck for my SDS drill, 24h later it was at my mailbox. 6euro shipping +8euro part.

[@smashyrashy]

​@alouisschafer7212 not every part, and some are still not worth it with the price of the part being almost as much as a new tool

[@bladeoflucatiel]

@@alouisschafer7212 They sell the motor+controller+switch as a single part in many of their tools, its not worth it.

[@bradleywalsh4103]

​@@bladeoflucatielthat appears to be the exact opposite of what Dean has been showing on this channel. Yes, for all brands, there are repairs that are not worth the price and you should buy a new tool with a warranty, registering the warranty for an extended warranty when possible. That said, if there is one thing that has been shown on this channel time and time again, Bosch and Makita (and of the two, Makita especially), offer up the greatest repairability by NOT bundling everything into assemblies. That is not to say all parts are always cheap, but they afford people more opportunities to repair tools without having to buy parts you dont need.

[@ToolTimeToday]

WoW... That DeWalt Drill lol, How many time's did you open it up ha ha ha. Thank's for the video. Very interesting seing what you have in and have to repair. How old.....that silver half sheet sander. man that looked ancient for sure.

[@DuneDDX]

The skill sander got the best opening "do we even want to look inside" folowed by some seconds of silenc.

[@ElMariachi1337]

There is a couple machines where I'm like who ever designed these didn't think of the weakest link in a corded machine: the lead. This type of mixer being one of them ... Also those IKEA boxed repairs are not my cup of tea: either you fix your machines yourself or just please bring them in fully assembled. Love the different brands and different machines video's though, keep em comming!

Just for info Dean. Those "Twister's" are only £90 on Amazon, that's with a paddle and 2 years warranty. How do you match that. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job Dean. Looked like that dealt drill was giving ya a go for your money. Hahahahahaha, after the 2ond time of takin it apart, I'd a tossed in the circular bin. Lmao!!!

[@keithmatthews1673]

Gives me the idea for a side hustle. Buy cheap old tools from car boot sales and fleabay. Some will work, some wont. Look for easy fixes and send the rest to Dean with instruction "dont want to spend much". 🙂

[@rephleX67]

i thought the same lol :D

[@stich1960]

What is your fancy looking hammer? I assume its differant from the martinez we have in us but i assume its titanium

[@stich1960]

Also it is a bad idea to show your keys on camera dean

[@pokershopmexicocarpinteria4553]

Hello, of all the brands that you work with there in Ireland, which one do you consider the best in terms of breaking down less between makita festool hilti metabo hpt dewalt milwakie bosch

[@rephleX67]

I laughed more at the Dewalt drill than I should have when you had to open it for the third time. You could tell that you weren't in the mood for all that junk :D

[@jamesccart]

whats the claw hammer ? not seen one like that before ?

[@paulscott6418]

Love your videos mate. You certainly know your stuff. What type of cable/lead do you fit? I did see it in a video but I've been binging them lately and I can't remember which one!

[@stevenbauman3501]

What’s that thing you used to check the armature?

[@techguy666]

It's called an Armature Growler. I think he has a video on how to use one.

[@josephking6515]

I just had to Unsubscribe and then Subscribe again because I just realised I haven't been getting *any* notifications of your videos. I hope that now lets me know when you have Uploaded another gem to watch. *Thank You* Dean. 👍

[@user-disgust]

Hi Dean, thank you for the videos, you've made me want to repair my tools, however, I'm struggling at the moment. I brought a load of dewalt tools 2nd hand to use for DIY and a lot of them have faults. I'm in London so sending tools to you might be a bit expensive. I have a dcs391 which seems to like going 2 miles per hour, chugging along and then back up to full speed again. Brushes still fill up the full slot, so i thought it wasn't that. And my 18v impact dewalt 887 is just not impacting at all, just loses power when it gets the screw in a little, already cleaned out the switch. Any pointers would be really helpful. Philip

[@zaxmaxlax]

Did you pay cheap for them? Used power tools arent really a good ideia, you never know how they abused them. Try to hardwire the circular saw, can be the eletronic break(not worth replacing either way).

[@user-disgust]

@zaxmaxlax the circ saw was £30, the impact was a little more, but didn't realise it had more of a fault than the switch being faulty. Also got 2x nailguns 660s that seem intermittent. Need to get some nails to test them properly though

[@deandohertygreaser]

Sounds like a switch with the drill. The impactor could be a armature

[@robertmcgehee949]

What brand hammer is that?

[@rogerhodges7656]

I lost count of how many screws you had to remove to remove to replace the switch on the Evolution mixer. A lot!

[@theshemullet]

I seen a metabo paint stripper that looks brilliant but as you say the parts are hard to get, I was wondering is there any other companies doing the same type of tool; that you'd recommend

[@dougbishop3350]

Can you share details on that nifty little flashlight you use?

[@asamitchell7948]

The dewalt drill 100% it's been used for core drilling that's why it was having clutch issues I see many gas fitter using them instead of a dedicated core drill.

[@johnpartridge7623]

I'm a new sub but do you sell any or just repair?

[@deandohertygreaser]

only repair

[@tamask001]

Makita drill: looks like it's been used to demolish and rebuild several city blocks - easily fixable. Ryobi drill, mint looking - too far gone. Makes sense 🤔

[@plunder1956]

That first customer seems to have tried every make of SDS and normal hammer-drill going. I wonder if he found one he liked? Nice to see a set of notes provided, however basic.

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

It's a matter of "have they earned their keep?" Swear to God, most of these tools are just spent! I wouldn't even try to fix them, they'd go in the sea.
