That nightmare turned out good. Nice job. You got a little clumsy at the end. Lol. It’s hell dropping little things and having to sleep on it and start looking again the next day. Lol. Good job working so we could see it too. Lol.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

So true Harry! I loved the challenge. My heart sank when that beating dropped. I am a very persistent person. Plus it does not hurt that I used to clear bombing ranges for a living. Spent a lot of time looking for small pieces of metal! 😂. Thanks for watching!

[@Harry-O]

USAF. I remember F. O. D. Walks on the flight line. I crash rescue for 6 yrs.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

oh yeah! That is a blast from the past! FOD walks. Sweet! USAF! CE for life baby!

[@rudytomasik6516]

Your video has the best close-up photography on KZbin, everyone can see how the springs go back together. Great video!!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Wow, thank you for the kind words. Please consider sharing and helping us grow so we can help more people. Thank you

[@israel5394]

Man!!! You totally saved me from buying a new compact drill this Christmas. I’m so thankful 🙏🏽 It took me no less than 20min to fix. My barring also took flight. I found it under my refrigerator😂.

[@stashamana]

Hey ! No need to do all this, just drill a hole in the part of the bit which is stuck inside, then put a hex bit inside that hole, hit it with a hammer so it goes inside the stuck part and then pull it out with pliers. That’s it ! I hope this is helpful

[@stuartkilpatrick964]

Thanks, you just saved my impact driver. 2 mins to disassemble with your help, 45 mins reassembling trying to get that c-clip back on! Thanks again

[@ThatFixItGuy]

So glad that you got it hooked up! It is a bit a a bear the first time, but much easier if it ever happens again! Hope we can help with something else in the future.

[@funbuns]

This just happened to me an hour ago and your video helped me remove the broken bit in less than 10 minutes! Thanks man!!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Awesome! That is great to hear! Thanks for watching and hope we can help again.

[@jtatone00]

Thanks! Had a bit stuck and use the vice trick. I didn't need to disassemble the chuck. I wrapped a piece of copper wire around it to keep it unlocked then tapped the drill lightly with a wood mallet. Came out in about a minute! BEWARE OF MAKITA IMPACT BITS in the Dewalt drivet! Though I was buying top quality...

[@victorvanbernard315]

I just had a broken bit deep in the chuck of my DW056. I found that lifting the chuck (as if to remove an intact bit) pulling the trigger eventually loosened up the broken bit. At first, I had the driver going in reverse as I held the chuck up and pulled the trigger for 3-5 seconds. I noticed that the broken bit had moved a little. I also noticed that I was in reverse. I switch the direction to forward, pulled the chuck up again and held the trigger down (no pulsing on and off). The bit fell out after about 10 seconds.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

That is awesome you were able to get that thing out without any disassembly. I tried and tried. My friend had that thing stuck really good. I will try your pulsing method first if I ever run into this again.

[@user-ij8ys5ru8r]

I just tried it this way.....WTF ....ran then drill one way for 3 seconds and the other way 3 seconds and it flew out...WTF!

[@henrilaloe8231]

A big thank you from Cornwall,United Kingdom, for the video, saved me buying a new one. Keep up the great vids

[@ThatFixItGuy]

So happy to hear that! Hope we can help again.

[@kylemaximusmith]

That’s a good perspective! Looking at work like a puzzle!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Thanks Kyle and thank you for checking out the video as well! We truly appreciate it.

[@BobCampbell530]

I used a bit that was for a screwdriver, not the kind intended for quick release chucks. It was really stuck tight. I got the clip and spring out, but the collar would not come off. I pried onthe collar and hammered hard on it, but it would not slip off. After hours of pulling on the bit with vise grips, it was cracking, and there was just a nub left. So I used a horse shoe nail puller. Luckily I got a grip, and pried on it with my weight and saw it move. I few more times and it came out. Then the collar slipped right off and the bearings fell out. I still can't figure out why the collar was stuck too, but I've learned my lesson, I'll never use the wrong bit again!

[@sahhbeaniepugs1859]

Iv had a cheep bit stuck in my impact forever! Got it out in 2 mins thanks to this video. Great tip

[@ThatFixItGuy]

That is great to hear. Crazy how common this is. Hope we can help again.

[@mw8246]

I put my impact with the stuck bit in the freezer. Two hours later, I could pull it out with pliers. It was much more than pliers stuck for me before chilling it. Maybe the hammer would have worked for me, too.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I love it. I wish I would have thought of that.

[@mahdisalimisotoudeh3833]

Thanks man! you saved my impact, screw drivers heads did not grip properly and I fixed it using your video

[@ThatFixItGuy]

That is great to hear. So happy this helped.

[@jeffhorton8956]

Dude worked great and it's a lot easier than video sounds and saved me alot more time and $80 dollars for new impact ! Worked exactly like video & don't drop the bearings hard 2 see for but they sell them and also cheaper than a new impact !!!! Thanks for idea Bro

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Lol! That bearing drop! I’m glad that worked out for you! Thank you for checking out the video!

[@thomasclutz8859]

I just watched your video. Fixing to give it a world on my impact. Thanks for the help I'll let you know how it turned out.

[@BassGods]

Same thing happened to me🤣🤣🤣 I almost gave up getting the bit out, until I used a paper clip and pliers with the needle nose to dig and pull it out.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

That is great to know. I like the enginuity there! Thank you for sharing.

[@tgupta361]

Thank you for the video. I ws able to extract out a super-stuck bit using the video; though broke a part of the edge that meets the main ring but it still works. Thank you,

[@susanseymour2997]

Thanks for the tips Brian!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Your very welcome!

[@daleblazer]

Thanks buddy! I had a stubby phillips bit somehow jammed in there. Not much to grip on since it is tapered, but I used vise grips and even though I had a pretty good handle on it, nothing doing. So I took it apart and by cranking the vise to tight that it finally gripped it good enough, I was able to use the rubber mallet and get it out. this was my last resort.

[@brittblanton8342]

Hey Brian thanks for the video great job that was a pain in the butt👍

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I was just glad it worked out in the end!

[@lycanbreath1]

Reminds me of some rifle parts that sometimes go flyin.. I told my daughter while she was foldin laundry, if ya find a piece that looks like this, let me know. One minute later, she says is this it Dad?! Lololol

[@ralphhross]

Use a wire like 14 gauge wedged under the collar to keep it in the released position. No need to remove the spring or anything. Then do just what you did i.e. catch bit in a vise and tap impact driver body. I used a punch and a small hammer and bit popped out. In the end your video solved the problem for me, so thanks.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Oh yeah that sounds like a great way to get a bit out! Thank you for the suggestions.

[@chrispike36]

Nice one. Your video sorted out my Milwaukee m12. Same construction. Similar stupid mistake. All working lovely again. Keep up the good work.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

That is great to hear. This video has been pretty universal for different drill types from the comments I’ve read. So happy it helped. Hope we can help again.

[@stevesproul3744]

Great job Brian. Awesome video

Man you are great. I lost my BB. Will try one from my BB gun and see if it stays.

APPRECIATE THE HELL OUT OF YOU THIS VIDEO WAS A BIG ASS HELP COULDNT DO IT WITHOUT YOU THANKS FOR THE STEP BY STEP…..

[@adamjohnston2119]

I was replacing the ball on my impact. I watched three videos before I saw yours. People before you didn't even show like close ups oh yeah you just put the spring and back in the spring upside down? Anyways thank you I got it back together.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Awesome. So glad this was able to help you. This impact is still rolling good

[@johnthorne8806]

Thanks for the help!

Bhahhahah...that Break It Guy! Getr done man!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Lol. Me breaking things might not be a bad channel! It was a good challenge.

[@kbltexmex]

Great work nothing like making a useless tool useful again

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Amen! It is a great feeling. Thanks for watching!

[@American-Plague]

A more common problem with these is that the spring that holds the ball bearing in place breaks and your bit will constantly fall out. This video inadvertently shows how to repair that problem also, except buy a new spring and don't put the old one back in. (I've tried bending the broken spring to make it work again.... it's got to be EXACT. Easier to just buy a new spring.)

[@zacksrandomprojects9698]

Hey thanks for the video man. I got a Milwaukee thats got the same problem. I suspected you can take the slide collars apart but wasnt sure. I'm gonna have to give it a go. Thanks man!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I hope it works out for you.

[@DylanGSXR]

Fantastic job , I've got the same problem but I've not got any of the bit sticking out , I've tried to glue the bit back to the one inside with strong steel epoxy with no luck , then I tried to drill the centre with a really small bit hoping once drill bit was in it a bit I could pull it out , that didn't work either as the bit is so hard . I might see if I can take the curclip out like you did and maybe push it up from bottom . Thanks for your video is given me hope again 🙂.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Good luck and drop me a line and let me know how you get it. Where there is a will there is a way!

It was tricky. I will looks for a set of small slip ring pliers at some point. Thank you for watching.

[@tommyh5339]

Hi, thank you so much for yor video, but I made a mistake that put a oversize bit into the impact drive, do you have any tip to take it out?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Is it broke off? If not I would clamp the bit and use a mallet to tap out just like it did. I think that could work.

It can all be done easily. Hardest part is keeping up with that little ball.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Lol. That was the hard part for me!

[@garyseymour9504]

Had many of those break like that in Antarctica and unfortunately it has to be fixed otherwise your without your tool. We had to fix them just like you are showing, takes time and added frustration but otherwise very doable.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Sure is nice when it is done, but a pain while it is happening!

[@tomlesser3050]

Used your technique and got the bit out of my Ryobi. Thank you! But when I put the ball bearings back in place (there are 2) the knurled ring won't slip down over them. I assume that the BBs must recess into little pockets in the center shaft ... is that correct? When I look in the holes where the BBs go, there are no pockets. Is there a way to hold the center shaft stationary so that the ring with the holes for the BBs can be turned to aligned with the pockets? Or have I got this concept wrong? Thanks!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

So the bearings sit on top of the spring in the hole I’m pretty sure anyway. I hope this helps

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I don’t know if that’s a spring as much as a clip, but the bearing is on top

[@tomlesser3050]

Ooops! I asked the right question to the wrong guy 🙄. The Ryobi is a little different … the ball bearings go into circular holes, not the slightly oblong holes, and don’t use a spring to hold them in place. I’ll have to rewatch a couple of other videos, but thanks for taking time to answer!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Sorry, I have never taken on of those apart. Hope you got it taken care of.

if it is fairly new you could take it to a dewalt repair center see if they would fix it for free

How is it going? Where you able to get it out?

[@geterdunn2733]

@@ThatFixItGuy Thanks for asking. I'm pretty handy but I can't afford the down time. I did try it but soon realized, this is not for me.I sent it to Dewalt. It's under warranty and the bit is also Dewalt. I grabbed my Milwaukee for now. Good to have at least two Impact Guns.

Thank you Tysen! Happy to help! And it made for a good video I think!

Yeah that's not an Allen wrench screw that's a torx head screw and based off the size it's a t-15 or t-10 hope this helps someone.

[@sniperpd9505]

My nightmare continues. There is a tiny piece of a screwdriver bit showing in my electric screwdriver. There is not enough to grip and I can't see any way of dismantling the top to get the bit ourt. More for landfill, I'm afraid.

Your very welcome. I hope that I can help with something else. Thanks for watching.

[@jimpikul8551]

Looks like it may as well be a paperweight. Don’t k ow what a newer driver may cost but the time involved negated the effort. The hatchet would be for the death blow!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Lol! If I could not have got it out I may have given in the ol death blow with the hatchet!

[@natekuschert960]

What if bit snapped off flush?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I think I would try to disassemble and get behind and try to push out with a punch or something. Or you could try to drill it and tap it. Drilling the center may just make it come out anyway. I would love to know how you end up getting it.

[@braddyrbye9458]

Mine is broken flush AND it looks bent in there, will not budge at all, even picking at it from the sides

[@HisWayHomestead]

my DeWalt pops it out just like your Ryobi

That is great to know. I have been looking for a Dewalt Drill and impact.

[@kushinthablunt423]

You popped it out wrong lol it’s actually way easier to get that ring off.
