Rage-Fixing a Broken Drill

[@carl67lp]

[@Luziferne]

I just felled in love with the term "percussive maintenance"!

[@systematic101]

Had my drill fail a few months ago. After taking it apart I found that 1 of the wires connected to the motor broke off at the terminal. Turns out what happened is there’s nothing physically holding the motor in place. So every time the motor ran the torque would cause the motor housing to rotate a bit eventually braking the 1 terminal connection. After a while I realized if I extended that wire about 1cm and rerouted it that would place tension on the motor in both directions. That prevented the motor from moving and the drill now works perfectly.

[@JoeStuffzAlt]

I love this. I love the idea of "it's broken. What's the worst that can happen? Break it even more by trying to fix it?"

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

Depends, really. Sometimes, yes, it being broken is already the worst-case scenario and you can't really make it worse. Other times, you can burn the whole house down, or kill or injure yourself during the repair attempt if you're careless or inexperienced. And sometimes you actually manage to repair the thing, but make it unsafe to use in the process, and might injure or kill someone else who uses it unaware of the botch job you did. When I repair stuff, I always take safety into account. And when something can't be fixed properly, or at least, not by me, I just leave it and either bring it in for repair, or buy a new one if necessary. Contrast that to my dad, who will "repair" ladders where the safety features have failed, by pop-riveting some thin sheets of aluminium of an unknown grade to keep everything together. At 75, he'd still rather balance on rickety ladders with compromised structural integrity than spend money on a new one.

[@Sniperboy5551]

This lady I work with does a lot of arts and crafts and her laminator machine (or whatever the hell it was, idk) got parchment paper stuck in it. I tried taking it apart to fix it, when that didn’t work, I suggested just grabbing an extension cord, hooking it up outside and then waiting until the parchment paper burned away. She didn’t do the last part, but I don’t think it would’ve broken it any more than it already was. Plus, I wanted to see a cool fire in the parking lot… oh well.

[@legacysage]

My thing is that you always know there's a line where if you mess up nobody can fix it but if you stop now somebody could probably fix it.

[@Jeremyak]

I always take one wild swing at fixing something before it goes in the trash, unless it's broken in an obvious way I definitely can't fix.

I had a similar issue with my Dewalt electric push mower. The "high amperage" power switch in the handle actually had its contacts get too oxidized and wouldnt make electrical contact anymore. It was kinda wild. I tore it apart, filed them down and it works like new. That being said, it would be nice for power control to be controlled by a relay or a solid state device. They actually used 16/3 extension cable cord to run the current from the main unit on the deck of the mower ALL the way up to the handle and BACK again! Other manufactures use a low voltage, low current switch in the handle. Much less wire!

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

Unfortunately, most homegamers don't want to spend that kind of money on tools they'll only use every once in a while. That's why the market is flooded with cheap ones that last a couple of years under light/infrequent use. I don't like the mentality either; I prefer quality tools because not only do they last longer and work more reliably, they usually also feel a lot better in the hand, are more ergonomic and less fatiguing/painful, and a joy to work with. But I get where someone's coming from when they tell me they rather just replace their old drill when broken because they can get 3-5 of those for the price of one "good" one.

[@reneschumann8922]

These higher standards are basically the requirement for that. (which kind of is what the EU currently does with manufacturers being required to provide spare parts for 10 years after last sale; "right-to-repair rule". Also true for the US that are doing some right-to-repair stuff too.) Because from my experience (and independent tests) it's not possible to generalize "higher cost item equals higher quality" and it's quite often the other way around. So basically impossible to know who build it to last and who did it for the quick buck. Besides "every" product can break for unforeseen / rare reasons. And even businesses like sennheiser which are known for their high sound quality products produce cheap (as in money) products that are basically worse than any noname or chinese knock-off. Every product has to be evaluated independently. Which is why I hate buying new things.. way too much time and research required because the last you should trust is a corporation or seller.. (there are exceptions but most do everything for more profit, especially every public corporation) Sadly reviews are not necessary the best solution.. as there are lots of hidden gems that are basically no-name, cheap and yet work surprisingly good but also usually not tested at all. And reviews can obviously only test products as is, not after 4+ years of use... especially since the product would have been replaced by 2 newer and "better" versions by that time and not sold anymore. I wouldn't mind forcing longer warranties, penalties for failing products etc. Also, I would allow exceptions like if the manufacturer or seller claims prominently, highly visible on the packaging: "this product sucks, we don't allow full warranty" to have it their way if they want to cheap out. Basically like an "this product is alpha / untested" label so that small businesses and startups can still sell their stuff without fearing to go bankrupt. While serious competitors or solid products won't need it and have to offer long warranties and maybe penalties for failures (like compensating consumers for failures, lost time debugging the issue and so forth). So you can see which company actually trusts their own product. TL;DL: can't go by price, can't trust brands, pick "whatever" and hope for the best or spend lots of time researching to still hope for the best in the end (with higher success?), humans (public corporations) are greedy and cheap out on parts for more short-term profit, always short-term thinking, ruling by nations are basically required to force corporations to build longer lasting stuff...

I had to start the holes with a regular cordless drill and only then go deeper with the rotary hammer. And at that stage I realized that 6x40mm holes don’t take that long with a regular (non sds) hammer drill and I can just get the job done with a single tool.

I just want to say, that I've literally googled the difference between the varying modes on a drill before and gotten nothing but nonsensical answers. You've just explained the hammer function and its purpose in a way I now understand. Thank you.

[@DuckAvationOfficial]

thanks for letting me know if my drill ever does that, I’ll use my new knowledge to fix it 😊

[@nathanfryer1783]

I'm going to start using electroboom math, if I fix a tool that was broken the replacement value is now free spending money for a different tool.

Nice repair. But for the ones not only interested in electronics, but also in proper drilling: the proper DIY-er, carries the impact driver right, the"normal" drill (holes in soft materials) left, and the SDS drill (yes can still be battery driven, combined with a 4 cutter drill bit, even goes through reinforced concrete like butter) on their backs!

Hey, some folks keep saying to me that the electricity protection devices from Brazil are suspicious, but I keep saying that we do have strict regulations for these and it does work. I would love to see you get one of these and abuse it, the device is called iClamper Energia 8, it has a transparent model so you can see it smoking to save the devices. Please make a video about it, the Brazilian community would be very proud. They do have other smaller protection devices as well, so you would have a lot to test.

i felt it when he burned his hand by friction

[@thinkdunson]

i have a ryobi drill that's around two decades old. for a while, maybe a couple of years span, it would literally spark and smoke every time i used it. (it's brushed) but it eventually stopped doing that, and it still works fine to this day. i rarely use it any more, since i now use my impact for nearly everything, but i still keep it for the odd job.

[@SonOfZeusGaming]

My first guess was either the hammer grease turned into goop or lack of grease was making it seize up, kicking in the anti-lock safety of the drill.

[@TheCrazyStudent]

I would have used heat shrink tube on the soldered wires to further decrease the risk of them touching each other. Another trick is to not have the solder joints on the wires at the same length from the connector. For example, wire 1 can have its solder joint one inch from the connector and wire 2 can have it 2 inches from the connector. Then they won’t easily short out because the solder joints are not parallel to each other. Combine that with heat shrink tube and then use hot melt glue on top of that to secure the wires and you would have a perfect repair that will last for a very long time.

The way the hall-effect sensor wires stretch apart like pure rubber is something like what I've seen on an A.C. brake coil (for a bridge crane) during intense current draw on stranded conductors. It seems like too much current draw on thin copper conductors can vaporize the copper inside and leave just the rubber outer jacket; maybe these hammer drills pull huge uncontrolled current draw sometimes

That is honestly the coolest video you've done. I'm so sick of throwing out electrical tools when they fail. I don't have your skills to fix them, but knowing someone can and stop the crappy manufacturers scamming another $150 is a win!

There was a pilot hole in the 2 × 4. Did a good job making it look real. Not enough material material was removed from the wood and the drill bit went in too fast. Looks perfectly 90° from the surface of the wood too. Love your videos!💥

I love how I’m watching Mehdi try to figure out how to repair his drill when I can barely figure out how to apply WD-40 to a friggen Door Hinge of all things. EDIT: Chill out y'all this was just a joke 😭 Obviously I know what the hell WD-40 is

[@DragonKhy]

Does it have a straw spray nozzle? That’ll make it a little bit easier if you didn’t apply it already 👍✨

[@siedenburg1]

Don't use wd40 as such a lubricant. WD40 can dissolve proper lubricant and evaporates. Instead remove the door and use proper grease.

[@Heroo01]

WD40 is not a lubricant, it's a cleaner

[@betterl8thannvr]

​@@siedenburg1doors should generally use a dry lubricant, grease picks up dust and they're not sealed. I use houdini lock lube but it's expensive.

[@NoobKeksTV]

hmm. over here (germany) we have seperate, special drills to make holes into stone walls and not use a "normal" drill for it, cus they arent really made for the concrete, even with their hammer function.

[@RAM4elightbars]

The same is true in North America, we just have a rich tradition of using the wrong tool for the wrong job.

[@mecanoman]

FYI there are multimaterial drill bits that doesn't need "hammer mode" and can drill trough steel, glass and concrete. Learned it the hard way.
