I just love the way you show your failures, or misjudgements too, it keeps reminding us we are people with the same kind of problems. For the rest... I just enjoy your channel and learn a lot of things about tool repair. ! 👍👍
I used to work somewhere where we actually numbered all the tools and equipment. If something was faulty, a tag was attached with the tool name, number, and the person who found the fault and took it out of the system. It made fixing kit soooo much quicker, and if you couldn't replicate the fault, you knew the exact person to talk to to find out what was wrong. Asking the big production companies that send you tools to introduce a system like that would save you and the companies a lot of time and money. Just a thought 😊👍👍👍👍👍
All Makitas with brush motors are easily repairable, except for brushless ones, almost all of the electronics must be changed. Over time, the good quality motor has been a champion!
Dean, my brother has the new Makita nail gun he lives over in New Zealand. He said it is not a light machine but that it really does sink the nails so well.
When I went into the trade 20 years ago, folk were telling me to avoid DeWalt because it just meant expensive repair/replacement bills for expensive tools. I had a Makita chop saw I wanted repaired. Repair shop said £100 but new similar-ish ones were £160 then plus vat. I didn't take it in to have a discussion about money, so fix it please. It's more for its handy size and the van racking is geared up for it to fit in. Plus, £100 is cheaper than £160+vat. I find many repair shops etc.. are geared up about price. Maybe someone wants the tool fixed for sentimental reasons, it was their father's etc..
YES yes yes! The new Dewalt and the Makita nail guns please! - although the Makita should take precedent! Will you not be able to sell each bare tool new if you put it back as you find it? I would have guessed you would - re saying the patreon & YT funds only allow one or the other... Another thing you need to preach to the viewers about Makita is not just ease of repair-ability but also the ergonomics from moulding in different places to to the shape of the handles and dimensions of the grips. I picked up Dewalts probably most popular brushless impact the other day at work i think it was the 787 (with no speed switch) and the balance and grip felt absolutely disgusting relative to my 8 year old DTD129 and DTD172 Makitas. This is apparent on a lot of different categories of tools not just impacts and drills. Thumbs up.
Thanks once again for your insight into power tool repair. The bulge in the controller is a sign of overheating, on the trimmer, but as you say if the problem can't be replicated it makes for a difficult decision.
My Dear Brother Dean, I'm commenting before I watch anymore of the video on that Makita grinder because if it was me I would go ahead and have it repaired seeing how bad the newer stuff is getting I'm going to stick with the older stuff just restore it rebuild it.
I have a very similar Trend router, probably made in the same factory, that arrived new today. Same problem as you described with included 2Ah battery, put a 5Ah battery on and works fine. Put 2Ah battery back on and works fine. I guess I was just starting it wrong, if that's possible.
That bulge in the controller must of been the issue. Whatever part of the board that’s in charge of overload protection more than likely. If its running and cutting out only when in use then it must be related to a load sensor or voltage regulator thingamebob
When I took auto mechanics in the 80s in college our teacher warned us about intermittent problems. A customer would bring a vehicle in stating a problem but when it's in the shop it wouldn't manifest the problem take it for a test drive still nothing then give it back to the customer and maybe as he's driving it home it happens again so he brings it right back and says it did it again but again you take it for another test drive even with the customer in the vehicle or driving it and it doesn't do it this could go on several times taking up your time and frustrating the customer. In cases like this there are ways to try to make the problem happen but sometimes it just doesn't work.
Ok, I've decided that I *need* those adjustable slipjoint pliers you use. Are they wiha? Other? Make and model please! Excellent work on the tools as usual!

Dean knows these tools better than they know themselves 😂

Always trying to save the customer money when possible, attention to detail, great service and repair. Good stuff.
I love the longer reparation videos, thanks for all your hard work in making these Dean!
Also thanks for sharing your knowledge with everyone!
Definitely Makita in February.
You make repairing these tools look way to easy , I enjoy watching and learning a thing or two along the way
Great video Dean 👏👍
Thanks 👍

Makita in February is my vote. Would like to see the gasless version

Thank you you are awesome, God bless you
I have makita tools from the 70s/80s/90s/20s ❤

Auf jeden Fall Makita Nailgun 👍im Februar

Hi Dean,
I think the new Makita might be an interesting tear down.
Cheers,
EJ
Definitely Makita nail gun strip down
thanks a million :)
wating for nail guns

Thanks Dean!!!!
Nice job Dean, you'll get that last router up and running when she comes back
I have a very similar Trend router, probably made in the same factory, that arrived new today. Same problem as you described with included 2Ah battery, put a 5Ah battery on and works fine. Put 2Ah battery back on and works fine. I guess I was just starting it wrong, if that's possible.
I'm gonna go with faulty battery on that cordless router. Thanks for the repairathon.

I could almost smell that grinder through the screen.😆
I actually pulled my head to the side, so as not to inhale the fumes!
Have to laugh when I see the parts numbers etc written on the back of your hand - I often do that too then can’t remember what the hell they are 😂
Definitely want to see the Makita nail gun
Makita in February please.
I would imagine that the last one shows the problem when its running in production for a while, that controller definitely had a bulge 👍
Wait till Feb for the Makita nailer please.
I vote Makita teardown. Thx

My opinion of DeWalt is a lot like yours of Milwaukee. I won't spend [any more of] my own money on either. I'd rather see almost anything else.
Ok, I've decided that I *need* those adjustable slipjoint pliers you use. Are they wiha? Other? Make and model please! Excellent work on the tools as usual!
Wiha smooth jaws pliers I think or close to that trying to translate that from french 😅
Knipex also make one with a push button in the center which is even more convenient than the wiha one
Makita nail gun would great
Be
Like to see the Makita tear down in February
Hello Dean mabe the makita control problem wil be the transistor-TREACK wen is hot maybe will fail and stop the machine
You mean triac?
@@Utuber-x44 yes always fail the triack in the new tools
I would be more interested in the new Makita, since it seems like more of a complete redesign than the DeWalt.
Hell there go Dewalt again shame stop knocking my tools . Thanks for the videos please do the Dewalt nail gun give me some faith.😂
Go for the Makita
Here in my country, the cheapest armature for the Makita 9554NB cost only $7. I mean, the copy and cheap one.
where is your country???????????
👍👍
Another great video Thanks,
side-note :DHP482 but with "z" , is over 100 euros for solo drill... No very cheerful...
Z just means solo, tool only.
Makita nailer please
What do you think about wiha tools?
Makita please Dean
what is the best 1/2' impact wrench with batter for mechanic work i have 2 in mind (makita, or dewalt) what do you think...
Do you charge for tear down when they aren’t repairable?
Do you restock your own parts? or do you have someone that does all the ordering for you guys
