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.

[@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.

[@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.

I live how you saved the money AND saved the drill from the landfill. I wish companies were held to higher standards for making items more durable and repairable.

[@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...

[@Scarlet_Soul]

He likely drilled a smaller guide hole prior so he didn't hit his hand

[@watsgoinonhere1]

You can see how when he starts drilling, the drill slips into an existing hole he put there so he could do the gag safely. One thing many people don't realize is that most (though not all) of the funny explosions and things that happen on this channel are set up, and done in a relatively safe way. Look at his classic electric guitar gag, he plugs the guitar in to an extension cord going offscreen, likely not powered at all. Then when he strums it, as far as I can tell he just edits in the sparks, and then pretends to seize on the ground. He's purposefully showing us what NOT to do, and exactly what it looks like when you do. He's not a lucky idiot, he just plays an idiot on TV.

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!

Remember to test is by drilling towards your unprotected hand through a block of wood first.

[@StefanGiljača]

For me it seems like that so called gas pedal thing is an adjustable resistor or also known as potentiometer. When you push it down further it reduces the resistance of that potentiometer causing the current to increase, and therefore the power at which drill operates. Like your videos Mehdi!

Drilling into concrete without an SDS drill is an exercise in lunacy.

[@MyNotSoHumbleOpinion]

Yes, practically impossible! But maybe it's only conglomerate concrete! I really doubt that he can drill with that "toy" reinforced or vibrated concrete!

[@gloriousapplebees]

​@@MyNotSoHumbleOpinionwith one of these non-SDS drills with a hammer function that a home gamer is gonna be using its fine, we're usually just getting through concrete block or floor and I've never had any trouble honestly. Sds is much faster but of course it is.

[@aaronmdjones]

If you were going through an entire masonry wall you'd want an SDS drill yeah. If you're just drilling a small hole into a concrete wall to hang a picture frame for example, these are absolutely fine on hammer mode.

[@Janzcu]

This. Also, buy Makita... 😊

[@Derek_Garnham]

Not a problem for a Boomer, maybe a big deal for a Gen Z snowflake while Gen aplha just order a hole from Temu what do you think all the holes were drilled with before SDS?

Hardware rule #1: EVERYTHING is a hammer

[@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.

An FYI for all people not confident in opening their drill, Dewalt will often replace a tool with a weird failure like this with their warranty. However Mehdi's way is much faster, and more rewarding.

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!💥

[@ShaneSkaalerud-nk2jk]

1:25 how about you recharge the battery. And if that's not the one. Then maybe you have to clean your drill because little pieces of wood or steal or whatever is jamming it.

Bro, you should just get the cheapest Ryobi hammer drill Edit: Medhi makes me so much more nervous working with power tools than electric.... Nearly drilling through his hand lol

[@Deletirium]

Yeah, I got a Ryobi cordless a year or two back for around $80, and it's got plenty of torque for ranch work. No hammer setting, but I had an impact drill for that.

[@beanapprentice1687]

[@aterxter3437]

And with a Ryobi, we would have a tool repair video every few years, nice. Joke aside, ryobi tools work great for people who use their tools from time to time, but when using them repeatedly, quality is mandatory (for usability, liability, and disponiblity), there isn't anything more frustrating in a project than being stuck because of failing tools

[@RandomNothing88]

He literally fixed it. Why buy new?

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.
