Repairing a broken Makita drywall attachment 191L24-0, watch to the end. Did makita break it.

[@corujabuho8253]

Not pointless as you reached milliions with creative solutions to fix broken plastic part. What an incredible fix. Thank you.

[@shawnlachance4427]

Yep!!!!!! I'm officially addicted to Dean's power tool repair videos!! Nothing beats a free education!! I speak for many when I say Thank you!!

[@deandohertygreaser]

Thanks 👍

[@prasadvn524]

The repair job was apt.Your diagnostic skills are superb

[@deandohertygreaser]

Thanks 👍

[@irishrebel1976]

I love how someone figured out how to turn the butt end of an M4 into a drywall attachment.

[@finbargolden5825]

Necessity is the mother of invention! Well done Dean.

[@michaelflynn6178]

Hard to get one past Dean well worked out Thanks

[@josephking6515]

What are the odds of finding that same serial number on an online "photoshoot?" Was interesting that the second unit you showed had a consecutive serial number of 01520. Nice fix though Dean. For his inconvenience they should let the customer keep your fixed on as a backup for *when* the warrantied one breaks. *Thank you* for the video. Therapeutic as always. 👍

I have the misfortune to own one of these attachments and TBH they really aren't anywhere near as robust as the older DFR/68xx series collated guns. I'm now on my SECOND complete unit in four years, despite the gun not being continually used for collated screws, because I also own a DFR550 (and a 6844 for flooring screws). The first attachment I had suffered a broken metal nose piece after about 24 months and my Makita dealer told me it was unrepairable because they couldn't source the parts (BTW I still can't find a parts diagram on-line for this attachment in the UK). I couldn't even get a replacement rubber end cap covers for mine. Unbelieveably, they aren't the same as those on the DFR550/DFR750/6843/6844 (which are common to all those models and more older ones) despite those being regarded as consumables. Even sourcing replacement screwdriver bits (which again are different to other Makitas) can be problematic at times - and the bits also don't last as long as they do on the collated guns. Considering that these units are supposedly aimed at the trade market I feel that Makita have dropped the ball here. If/when I break this one I'll probably be buying the Senco DS55M-1 instead to replace it, in part because I can at least get some parts for thse separately, such as the metal nose piece (see: www.senco.eu/en/binaries/content/assets/product-assets/itemresourcepartchart/18420/18420/hippogallery:asset) Thanks once again to Dean for his excellent repair video. Long may you keep posting them, sir!

The 00519 is not an ordinary piece of junk, this is a colector's one. This tool is a celebrity of the tool world. It played a big role in advertisments. It is worth much more than a regular one. Put it on the shelf as a trophy. Become a collector. 😉

[@markusdd5]

This is actually hilarious 😅😂 Should've played the lottery, who knew the customers broken tool was actually famous? xD

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

I don't know, I have the Ridgid 18v cordless version of this thing. I haven't had honestly a single issue - other than self-inflicted, and it really works great!

[@jobandknock427]

The DFS452 gun itself is a really good piece of kit when used with loose screws. It works well with the collated nose in place, and it is smaller than a DFR550 or Duraspin, however the nose isn't all that strong or durable

[@AlexKall]

I really dislike when manufacturers goes in that direction, should be the opposite direction, better serviceability and repairability. Also brilliant repair! Shame you didn't know it was on warranty, but it did give us a great video!

[@jeffdayman8183]

Looked like a great repair, well done. But it's too bad Makita a) broke it and sent it out b) didn't make that little ring a bit more robust in the first place. Not too sturdy without a thicker wall, some ribs on the outside, or made of die cast metal or better yet, a stamped steel piece. Oh well. At least the warranty gets the customer a new one. Hope he's not using it much though, if he's piling in screws by the thousand, it does not look robust enough for that. I enjoyed the video! Cheers from Canada.

[@tonybr2469]

Great detective work dean if you look after your customers they will look after you nice one

[@UnCoolDad]

I wonder if some of these devices would benefit from a dry lubricant, or a drying oil. Also, JB weld epoxy works wonders in situations like this where you need to build up. You can even sand it or tap it.

[@johncroasdale2748]

Technical and a sleuth! Deadly combo.😮😮

[@patbird9694]

Bought 2 OEM Makta batteries on Amazon. One of the battery was fully charged. Someone used the battery and sent it out as brand new.

[@qlimaxbass5022]

My guess: you bought a customer return battery.

[@Utuber-x44]

​@@qlimaxbass5022yep. It's quite common on Amazon. They figure there's a percentage of customers who won't notice/care so it's worth a shot.

[@shawnlachance4427]

@@patbird9694 be careful, I bought a couple Makita batteries on Amazon, they appeared in the same OEM packaging and turned out to be counterfeits!!

[@ravenswing602]

Hi Dean question: how many tone is your work press please?

[@Z-Ack]

Just using the drill bit as the support did it for me.. woulda never thought about that and spent the time digging through the tub of little screws that everybodies got somewhere.. good deal pickle..

[@jasonbuckler190]

Nice job. Will be highly surprised if you *aren't* contacted by Makita in the very near future if you haven't already. The odds of that unit ending up in *your* shop .. go play the lottery if you have one. Heh...

[@qlimaxbass5022]

We use this makita attacment but screws SOMEHOW stuck at the end of tool. We pull stuck screws to try with this damn tool screw again. So we everytime use magic words to make it work. 😅 From one screw tape I allways collecting from the floor 5 to allmoust half fallen screws . Devils invention 😆

[@gacherumburu9958]

[@daverichmond2846]

So,..l reckon you could add dentistry to your list of skills,Dean,.Nifty work there. 🦷🦷

[@GRamerDim]

haven't you shown this with the serial number in a youtube short a few months ago? how old is this repair?

[@padraiggray5342]

Would it not be under warranty new part replacement

[@BarniRepairs]

You could have glued back the piece you ripped off as well. Reinforce it from behind. But perfect job as is.

[@martinpedersen4886]

Think i have seen you do a different repair on the same attachment realising that it's the same number. Either old video, like 3-6 months ago, or the serial number is the same on some of them and you realize it every time you do a repair 😂😂😂

[@andrewbell3926]

I had a similar thought. Turns out it was a good laugh with a short video on 5th March. "What's the chances Makita sent 2 faulty ex marketing kit to Ireland to be repaired by Dean?"

[@johngeier8841]

Brilliant!

[@petegraham1458]

Nice fix!

[@pokershopmexicocarpinteria4553]

What is the expression in English? Did you catch Makita red-handed or the hole in the bag?

[@miko007]

when i get these ones in, customers always rounded the bit. this design is just awful. nice save on that plastic bit though. if more of them start to come in with that specific problem, i am probably going the 3d printing route

[@andrewchild1592]

Rather than break of the loose plastic bit, would it have been easier to degrease it and use super glue and some pins to secure it....says me who knows sod all in the presence of the Master 😅😅

[@deandohertygreaser]

thats what i should have done, but I didnt think about reattaching it when i pulled it off.

[@krcarpentry2610]

Makita broke my drill I had it and gearbox exploded and it worked perfectly but forwards was back and vice versa so it started working in reverse First time ever seeing that happen I send to Makita they fix gearbox and send it back with a broken switch

[@deandohertygreaser]

The rewired the motor leads coming from the switch back to front. Flip them again and it will run the way it wad.

[@ElMariachi1337]

Even though it's funny, Makita accessories don't actually have serial numbers. Every 191L24-0 you order from Makita has this number 🤣

[@deandohertygreaser]

That's what I thought, but the others we have in the shop have different numbers

[@nelchan2421]

Old Video?

[@deandohertygreaser]

think i made a short of it a few weeks back, but never finished the full video.

[@toxichank6960]

You can create a solid build-up with superglue and baking soda. Add drop of superglue, then sprinkle on baking soda. Keep building up, you can file to shape. Same for reattaching the broken plastic.

[@alamgiramirbaig]

Genius ❤

[@4MrenZo]

Nice, do you have the partsnumber for that black feeder head assembly?

[@4MrenZo]

If I watched all of the video before i posted i would have gotten more info 😂

[@rickmarr4744]

How many repair technicians would just replace the part. Not you!

[@lostcosmos]

I wonder if that attachment was counterfeit and the counterfeiters copied the serial number from the online photos.

[@jobandknock427]

Why counterfeit a tool with limited appeal? This nose only fits two or three Makita drywall guns, and prices in the UK are now sub £60 a pop, unlike a £150+ impact driver like the DTD172 or TD173D, so little profit in copying, I'd say

[@chuckpenrose9826]

could have plastic welded.

[@BexonBoy123]

Don’t think that would’ve been as strong as what he did

[@markbennett6037]

re upload.

[@barrypritchard2306]

If you did not brake the small bit off plastic off you justed had to super glue it

[@deandohertygreaser]

yep, but i didnt think of that when i was taking it off. at that point i was trying to free it up and thats what it was snagging on.

[@stirlingfromla]

FYI BREAK not BRAKE
