Dewalt impact driver bit locking fix

[@enfermero23]

I was about to throw it away just because of this issue ,thanks for the input

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Glad I was able to help. This video has become one of my most viewed. This why I do KZbin to help people save money. So many things are not made to last these days but doesn't mean that you have to give up. Just fixed my old lawnmower that the valve seat popped out. Fixed it and runs great again. Check that video out and my other videos if interest you. Let your friends and family know too. Thanks Tim

[@clintmanning4004]

I've been cussing at my drill for the last month. Found your video, ordered the part and fixed it. Wish I had done that as soon as it happened. Thank you!

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Thanks Clint, Glad my video was helpful. That's my thing is fixing stuff and sharing it. Please share my video with friends and family. Tim

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

I just want to say thanks to all the viewers. This video is getting allot of views lately which means folks are having the same issue with the dewalt springs breaking. They need to put in a stronger one for sure. Hey thanks also for subscribing to my channel. Just went over 500 subs. Cool and working on getting better with my videos

[@MrMattMohler]

Thanks for the vid, a quick watch showed me how to disassemble the drill to get that new spring in. I repaired 2 drills in less than 10 minutes and my foreman thinks I'm a Rockstar.

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

If you feel generous please help me out by donating a small amount to paypal.me/yatabata It will be used to fix more equipment to share on KZbin. Thanks for watching and please share with friends and family too. Tim

[@averybusch1115]

Tim's video looked easy going and more my style than a video I had watched yesterday on the same issue. The other video was too technical and wordy. After fooling around on my driver with the info from the last video I had already tried to reassemble a few times. Thank you Tim for giving me one more practice try alongside you in your video, before we both got it right ⭐ thanks Tim

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Thanks Avery, haven't heard that name in along time. I worked with an electrican in the late 70's with that first name. This video has got allot of views and comments. My only regret is using a gopro heatset instead of using my stabil tripod to record it. I quit using it after folks said it was making them sea sick. Thanks for watching and happy my video helped. Tim

[@kevinflores9030]

Thanks for the info, on how to change that spring, it made my job easier

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Glad to help. I have a electric corded drill motor with a bad switch. Going to order a new one to see if I can get it running again. Will do a video on it soon. I hope you are subscribed to my channel and please share my videos with friends and family. Thanks Tim

[@bryanthartzell4034]

Nice video appreciate it helped me out mine decided to break with a bit jammed in it same model

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Glad the video helped you. Love my dewalt impact 1/4 drive motor. Easy fix to keep it operating👍

[@salmonhunter7414]

I was just about to split the drill then I found your video thanks.

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

I love my dewalt impact drill and just wanted to fix it. Glad it helped you

[@thehobbyguy]

I split the drill ffs lol

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

I think he meant pull it apart😁

[@georgeramsey2827]

This is just what i was looking for!

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Thanks George, glad this helped you. I may this video thinking I need to show folks how to fix these. The little spring dewalt uses on these should be stronger metal or tempered. Please share my videos with friends.

[@air2farce]

I know I'm an old timer and my eyes aren't what they used to be. To make things worse I worked in lighting on TV for 15 years, (so let's be honest I'm almost blind). When you're showing me the part I need to replace....the answer to all of my problems......Have you got that Dam camera mounted on the ceiling, (in you neighbour's garage? Hahahahaha. Seriously I had the the close captioning on so I got the jist of it, but it sure looked like an interesting video to watch? Lol. Keep on doing the great work and thank you very much for the drill saving video!!

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Thanks Jeremy, As I keep telling allot of folks who point this out, this was before I found a better way to do my videos. I use my tripod now and for really close up I use a hand clamp attached lower on my tripod. Making videos is a learning curve for sure. I'm glad you were able to figure it out

[@air2farce]

@@TimsWorkshopTJY Keep on doing what you're doing Brother 👏 👌 👍

[@tshaunscales525]

Thanks for the help

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Thanks for watching and glad it helped

[@parvishurghada]

Thank you :) Ordered my parts too.

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Cool, It's a bit frustrating as you saw on my video and you may want to keep your work area confined in case the ball drops on the floor. I was lucky and found it. As far as where the ball goes and spring watch my last attempt which was correct. I'll probably have to watch my own video if I have to do this again. Haha Anyway thanks for watching and if you would like to donate to my channel hit up my PayPal www.paypal.me/yatabata

[@misaelvasquez3269]

How to fix my milwaukee impact driver.. i have the same problem whit it

[@jamesbradley8470]

Worked like a charm. Thanks.

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Thanks Jim, sorry about the camera movement but I corrected that issue on my newer videos. Main point was getting this out to help others. It was first for me as you saw my struggle through it. If it breaks again a new video will go allot smoother.

[@thepilgrim4585]

good job mate took mine on done it in minutes the spring cost me £3

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

It's nice to have it usable again for sure👍 thanks for watching

[@thesagesite]

You should get a referrsl link for the ereplacement. They owe you some money for this video.!

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

That would be nice for sure. Thanks for watching

[@augustineramirez6364]

Thank you very much sir for that video I was about to throw my gun away impact gun that is

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Haha, Yep I was not pleased when the bit would fall out. I worked on a couple large impact drivers and saw how then worked to retain the drills and chisels. Although alot smaller same design concept

[@daniellecanovan3862]

Exactly what I’m doing thank you

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Thanks for watching. It's a bit tricky to put back together but a small screw flathead screwdriver helps.

[@TrySkyLife]

So I did this, followed instructions and it keeps doing it. I’m sure I didn’t do it wrong. Should I have to make any modifications to the springs?

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

The spring only goes in one way. The curl on the end of the spring goes under the ball if I remember right? I tried a couple of times before I get it to work right. Still works great.

[@thehobbyguy]

That top split ring I'm been trying for 30 mins to get back on. I'm done with it lol

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

use a socket that will just fit over the end and try that

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

there is another way too. a hole single punch that just fits over the end and since the end is tapered on the hole punch the ring will slide down onto where you want it.

[@traceyluck8722]

Great repair but man ya need a bridge for you overhead camera, I was actually getting sea sick with all the camera moving going on with you headset. But again thanks for the tutorials

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

It was because of comments like this that my newer videos I put my gopro on a tripod now. I quit using my headset but I hear the new gopro 9 has fixed that issue. Mine is an old hero 4. Time to upgrade. Thanks for watching

[@R__K]

I have all Ryobi tools. My impact driver has a stuck drill bit BUT... the holder is stuck DOWN so there is no give at all for split ring... especially with bit stuck in it. Any ideas for fix?

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

That is a interesting situation? It still should come apart. I'm not familiar with Ryobi tools but the locking should be the same. My guess is the spring broke and wedged the bit in. Try lubricant of some kind and heat from a propane torch. Try to get the split ring out first and if need be cut it out. The new repair kit comes with a new one ereplacementparts.com

[@R__K]

@@TimsWorkshopTJY Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for next impact driver I get. Not only did thus lock up my impact driver but it had hole saw bit stuck in it. Sooo... hole saw adapter/all 5 hole saw sizes rendered useless along with the impact driver. Lesson learned: don't use hole saw bit in impact driver. 🤬🤦‍♂️

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Ouch, yep lesson learned

[@antoniojuarez4486]

Thank you...what is the name of tha place again...where you get your parts from?...

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Ereplacementparts.com

[@w.s.soapcompany94]

😬Battery was in😬

[@antoniojuarez4486]

Thank you so much...what is the name of that place,again?

[@shanesauve1721]

Nice video but speed it up. Should only have taken ten minutes.

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Agree but that's what the fast forward button is for. That's what I do if I'm looking for a specific item on a video. Thanks for watching

[@ramon7969]

We could’ve learned on the fly as well

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

That is true👍

[@rosinsautofab1956]

I did the repair but it isn’t much better, I’m toss it in the garbage

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Not sure what you did wrong? Mine still works fine. Save your batteries when you get a new drill. The batteries cost as much as the drill

[@rosinsautofab1956]

I own about every dewalt tool, new ring made it better for about a week, I use it everyday in a shop so maybe I’m to hard on it

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Like I said in the video the spring they use is weak. For a high impact hammer drills the springs should be made of high temper steel which are usually black in color in my opinion. I don't use mine everyday like a carpenter would. I'm sure they have gone through allot of cordless equipment like this.

[@markvylonis]

Thanks for the info video but please lose your head cam , it makes me dizzy watching the video. Use a tripod instead.

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Thanks for commenting, this was brought up over and over since I made this video. It was soon after I quit using it and went like you say to my tripod. I'd like to do redo these videos but only if it breaks again. But I can't delete this video due to loosing all the views unfortunately. I wish KZbin would make an exception so creators can go in and update their old videos.

[@erickkslp7722]

What exactly do I order ? What is it called ?

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Hi Erickslp, The side of the motor has the model number and you look up the part you need on ereplacementparts.com. you can order right online from them. Pretty easy. Thanks for watching and if you would like to donate to my channel hit up my PayPal at www.paypal.me/yatabata

[@cwent610]

Bro, skip all the BS at the beginning

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Love the comments on this video👍

[@savannahriffle2000]

The loud breathing really ruins it for me

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Sorry about that. My newer videos I place the mic away from my mouth. I keep improving as time goes on making videos. Big learning curve. Thanks for watching anyway

[@rigmaster1]

ZOOM in, please. Impossible to see WTF you're doing, and with the small size of the ball and spring, it's kind of important! Thx.

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

best I could with what equipment I had at the time but look like by other comments here other folks figured it out like I did for the first time. Good luck

[@jeffwhitney3369]

Dude this video is about 10 minutes longer than it should be! I turned if off after about 5 minutes of absolutely nothing and clicked on and watched a different video about the same thing. Just some constructive criticism, thanks for sharing the info anyway.

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Thanks for your comment. Do like me and fast forward to want I need. If I want to kill time I watch the whole video. Personal choice

[@thenewmedic]

Watch at 1.5x

[@antoniojuarez4486]

If you’re busy with something else,probably not the best time to watch it...

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

Do what I do and skip through it till the part of interest. Thanks for watching👍
