when i found deans channel, i was already fixing tools for myself and others. his channel is growing pretty fast because hes teaching/showing people to rely on themselves to fix problems. people have lost so many life skills thru the on demand/consumer lifestyle we all have given into. its so much of a better feeling fixing something you own as theres a feeling of accomplishment. going out and buying something because something broke has that hollow feeling. at least for me. its not faster but it is cheaper and more fulfilling reaping the rewards of working with your hands. when i have to order parts, i get 3-5 depending on the part. tools i use alot, i keep extras . when i come to tools, i dont throw anything way until all the parts are used. use what dean is teaching/showing you on all your tools at home. theres channels for small gas powered equipment also. relearn some life skills on how to be self reliant and then pass those on. we could change our throw away/consumer society the more people learn....relearn how to do things for themselves. thank you, dean.
Yep I fix all of my own electronics and find these videos informative and entertaining.. cause he does it the right way.. and actually gets a proper diagnosis of the tools .
Well done Dean another great video I do enjoy the longer videos when I see all the parts on the bench after you've taken something apart and how you remember were they all go back is beyond me fantastic skill set thanks
I know an engineer that replaced the cells in his dead 18V dewalt battery, and like you said, total over 20 hours work and that was with hot air station, spot welder, part research, ordering cells, take apart, documenting wires/leads, and testing. He wanted to see the viability and of two he repaired, one eventually failed with a thermal event. Which is why its not wise to open and work on the batteries. Drop off dead ones to recycler/big box and get replacement. Nothing like having a tool catch fire in your van because you opted for knockoff or repaired battery. Great take down and explanation of issues with the tools!
The newer flexvolt batteries have fuzes and 1Kohm rezistors along the flexible ribon to the battey cells, you can repalce damaged cells with a spot welder, and replace the faulty componets, people paralel them with working batteries to get the voltage up, that damages them, you need to go slow
i peel the 18650s out and use the good ones individually in other stuff. theres a nice braun magnetic base flashlight at harbor freight that takes them and i have a bunch of those stashed around my house and shop as they are very handy
Thanks so much Dean for sharing your knowledge. I‘m much into the old ELU carpenter tools, as I grew up with them and still have quite a few, especially planers and routers. The oldest router is from 1974 and still in use in the workshop. Only bearings and brushes keeps her running. Cheers from Germany.
As someone who has an interest in power tools, I was scouring TH-cam and came across your channel. I really enjoy your commentary as you carry out the repairs and have indeed learnt a lot in the short time I've been watching your videos. Keep up the excellent work.
We've been running these Dewalt 54v tools/batteries since around 2018 and so far, 2 dead 6ah batteries and 2 dead 9ah ones if I remember correctly. We're a team of 3-4 carpenters. I did manage to save one. It didn't want to take a charge, so I took it appart and rebalanced every cells. It's been working fine ever since. They sure break more often than their 18v batteries, but I still think they are worth buying because there's nothing else on the market with the same power and they're a lot cheaper than the XGTs.
I love it when there is a tool that is fixable in a decent budget with a service kit. The opposite is also true. It's a tough job designing fixable and affordable tools but the toolmakers should try harder. It is not an excuse to design throwaway tools because everyone else does it. Thanks for making the videos.
Impressive job on the Bosch full servicing, you made it look fairly easy; that spring ring in the hammerpipe is not my friend at all, they also use them in the smaller GBH2 series. Most of the time we just send the bigger machines to Bosch for service due to time management and not having the spare parts in stock.
I’ve found the Flexvolt batteries have a longer lifespan if given a top-up charge just before use, especially if they’re likely to be fully drained in use (eg in a mower or chainsaw). Mathias Wandel has a good video on TH-cam explaining the rationale behind it. Haven’t had one fail since putting this into practice.
Always enjoyable to watch. Glad to see that right to repair is still alive and well in the power tool arena, but somehow, I'm wondering how long before the manufacturers decide to clip and glue these tools together rather than use screws - hence making them much more difficult, if not impossible to fix - rendering them disposable rather than repairable or serviceable. That's how all other products seem to be going these days - or just by making spares unavailable or too expensive.
In America and Canada they call their batteries 20V and 60V. Which is more than nominal voltage so it is probably better for you that they call them something closer to their actual voltage.
If that was me I'd need to draw a picture of the bloody thing on paper and tape each screw onto the paper to know where it went lol, great to watch a master at work.
Had my local chippy come in to fit new doors and I ended up fixing all his broken DeWalt tools, most were the switch problem, he was a very happy person.
Thank you very much again for the free info and I'm wondering if I can send you something to repair it's probably cost prohibitive because of the distance I'm not sure exactly where you are but I'm in the USA. God bless, my brother.
I believe that unrepair Dewalt grindre put you off. But that is technician life. I used to work for a Japanese OEM. They supplied large 34-inch CRT TV sets for arrival and departure displays to airports. Those TVs were a pain in the butt. They had a self-oscillated power DC power supply. It was killer, But still, we had to do it. No dispose of option. They were very expensive.
Great Service Seminar! Love the rotary hammer repairs/teardowns. Almost all of the Dewalts were pretty well worn out. I think they got their money out of them. Always enjoy!
Amazing video yet again👍🏻 I wonder if you can advise… I have a DCS565 saw and when I pull the trigger I get a single flash from the LED and no blade movement. The blade does stiffen slightly but then frees up when I turn it a little. I’ve cleaned out all the dirt and dust busy that’s the limit of my knowledge. Any pointers? Cheers
Whenever i watch other content creators on here and they are reviewing different power tools and they start bigging up a certain manufacturer and how reliable they are i always drop a comment and a link to Deans channel and tell them to search for what power tool they are saying the best then come back and still say they are the mutts nuts 😂
May I ask how you deal with mounting a camera above your working area, without it obstructing either your hands or the light on the work, as you move around the workshop. Tripods always get in the way and using a clamp on a shelf or stand of some kind all lead to some kind of restrictions or unwanted shadows.
I Had A Corded Black & Decker Drill Wich I Thought Was Hopeless To Fix So I Foundout All It Needed Was Greasing Then After I Did That It Worked 10 More Years. It Sounds That Angle Grinder Needs The Gears Greasing.
I never throw away old batteries the housing can crack if u drop em and if i have the same one i swap the housing. Some times (Like in this video) u get a batterie with a dead cell the battery connectors of the one thats got a dead cell could be swaped in the one with the broken connectors. Batterys now are equally expensive with the machine and so i say repair Some are difficult to repair like these dewalts where the cells are packed like that. I do understand that u also cost 65 or 70 an hour so its not doable for you.
I have not had and faulty makita 40v batteries yet, nor have i heard of anyone having problems with them. Now they are not as common here as the 18v, but still. I havnt heard of them failing yet
Dean or anyone, can you give me advice on which brand to go for? We are a farm, all weather work, and so we want a 18v combi drill, angle grinder and impact driver, maybe down the road an sds drill too. Dewalt generally seems the cheapers per tool but seems like a lot burn out in test videos. Makita seem good, refined, but most expensive. Milwaukee, most powerful but not as refined, reliability seems up and down. Some tools cheaper, some most expensive.
Makita! Only repeat tools with problems are their 24, 18 and 16 gauge 18 volt nailers that I repair. Which ever brand you go with "GET THE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB". Don't expect a hammer/drill/driver to drill numerous holes in concrete, get a sds plus or sds max (depending on hole size). Hope this helps.
These companies and not just tools need to be held accountable for creating a toss it in landfill economy when things are cheaper to buy new complete than the parts to repair one is a complete failure
DeWalt make me laugh with them 54v grinders they don't sell the internals separately but underneath that heat shrink there is 2 connector plugs detaching the stator from the controller and screws attaching wires to the trigger from the rest of it.
Which brand has the most maintenance? Dewalt, Makita or Bosch? I ask because I'm about to exchange all my Bosch corded tools for a battery-powered brand, but the durability and quality of the equipment leaves me in doubt.
Dewalt generally require the most maintanence. But still make very good tools. And they can be repaired when needed. Bosch is also very good but have limited range. Makita js my go to brand
Hey Dean Couldn't see real well - could you just replace the bad connector only in those large Dewalt batteries using a donor battery - Couldn't see how it attached to internal board? Cheers
Issue with the newer generation batteries is they are controlled by a circuit board, if this board detects a fault it will just lock the battery from working as a safety measurement. Even if you fix the problem (in this case swap the connector) it will still be locked from working by the controller. For now there doesn't seem to be a solution to reset the controller. I only have experience on Makita batteries though, but I assume Dewalt ones work in the same way.
53:09 I really like that new Sternus hammer you got there! Looks pretty nice too. I checked them out & I wanna get one some time in the near future. Like you, I've been using my Estwing hammer for years & even had to replace it once or twice(someone borrowed it on the roof, & ended up 'loosing' it in the tear-off garbage in the dumpster). I do like that the Sternus is made w\ aluminum handle to reduce weight & shock transfer. You should get a discount code for your loyal viewers!🤔👍🏻👌🏻🛠️🔧🔩🗜️📐📏✏️🔌🔋⚡
I was wondering what kind of grease is the white one you're using at around 1:00:25? It kind of looks like silicone/dielectric grease, but is it? What about the orange one in the syringe, is that some lithium based grease? Thanks mate
Mate is there any chance to send you a picture with some gears so you would tell me of its normal or not? I am trying to repair worm gear on my parkside kultivator which makes so much noise.
Watched a few of these videos now and haven't seen any ryobi tools in for repair, does that mean they are good tools or not many people buy them hence no repairs ? lol
It means they are diy disposable tools. They wouldn't be worth fix and there is no parts available for them. But for diy use, they are a good option reasonably reliable
@@deandohertygreaser i have the ryobi one+ and have to admit it's pretty decent, not the best out there but good in my opinion. I also bought a £30 or so battery ratchet off amazon, gave the batteries a full charge like it advised and when i went to use it its like both batteries were completely dead any idea ?
never liked Dewalt..used a couple in UK. the buttons always seemed stiff when using cordless drills..stayed with Bosch..cant say they re good at anythink particular these dewalts..
He would require to strip down the whole battery as said at 28:54 Not to mention you need to get a special solder machine to connect the cell to the plate and the put everything back.
Sir please can you able to give me a drill machine,i will be so thankful for your kindness 🙏 Please sir any drill machine your choice please 🥺 Thanks for it
Under that theory Milwaukee should be avoided as well.. both make the motor control board and trigger assembly and battery contacts all one piece and over price the hell out of it so it's more cost effective to just replace the entire tool .

Whenever I fix something I'm super careful with the screws but I often lose at least 1. Dean throws stuff everywhere but never loses anything.

That Bosch hammer drill when all the bits were on the bench. 😂 I wouldn’t know where to start putting that back together.
Good lord, Dean lol That guy keeps you busy
Good education as usual! Thanks!
Two hour special just when I was going to hit bed... what should I do!
Literally me doing this 2 hours late, was it as great as usual? Why ask I know it was
Looking like a sleepover!! I'll get the 🍿
I’m a body man so I like seeing the drills and impacts the most since it’s what I use most
After viewing these longer videos, I now know the brands of tools I'll be recommending in the future.
If that was me I'd need to draw a picture of the bloody thing on paper and tape each screw onto the paper to know where it went lol, great to watch a master at work.
You know man what and how to do right 👍

I was about to say the same thing. He's going to be nailing onto old embedded nails pretty soon |-)
More long videos please and thank you
I’ve never had any problems with my 54v battery’s but then again i don’t let mine die
I have owned over 20 dewalt cordless tools and never had a problem with the trigger switch.
It depends how people treat their tools. If you abuse it more than use it, then no wonder they end up bad.

Dodgy magazine spring on a Dewalt nail gun,..lm surprised the whole gun assembly doesn’t have to be replaced.
never liked Dewalt..used a couple in UK. the buttons always seemed stiff when using cordless drills..stayed with Bosch..cant say they re good at anythink particular these dewalts..
Tools fixed in this video:
- DeWalt DCN692 nailer - Fault: Spring in magazine
- DeWalt Impact (possibly DCF887) - Fault: Switch and not holding bits
- Two DeWalt 9.0Ah 54V batteries - Fault: Dont charge / Bent connector pin
- DeWalt Impact wrench (possibly DCF880B) - Fault: Armature and Brushring
- Bosch Hammer GBH 5-40DE - Fault: Weak hammering
- DeWalt DCG414 54V grinder - Fault: Not spinning
- DeWalt DCG414 54V grinder - Fault: Not starting
- Metabo Grinder - Fault: Lead
- DeWalt Impact 18V (possibly DCF787)- Fault: Switch and not holding bits
- DeWalt Impact 20V (possibly DCF886)- Fault: Wornout/loose gearbox
- DeWalt Impact Wrench (possibly DCF880) - Fault: Armature
- DeWalt Impact DCF887 - Fault: Switch
Is there a reason besides plan obsolescence that some manufacturers choose to make the switch impossible to replace individually on tools?
Love the video as usual but far too many adds up to 30 seconds long. Really spoils it for me 😔
You need to enable closed captioning on all your videos for us hearing impaired fans.
Works for me
they work
what do you use to clean the oil parts? Just water and soap or some special solution?
He explains in detail how he washes the parts at 49:54
Kerosene he uses, commonly used here in Ireland as it’s cheap and great for cleaning and degreasing
You can replace cells in batterirs?
He would require to strip down the whole battery as said at 28:54 Not to mention you need to get a special solder machine to connect the cell to the plate and the put everything back.
@@michaelfairchild yes, but it can be done. 🤷♂️ expensive, but possible
