My prediction is this channel will really grow this year. His accent, experience, no nonsense approach, attention to detail, and integrity is outstanding.
drt50 is one of my favourite tools and you dont see alot of repair videos on them either however I have always thought that the lock button was the weakest link so rather than using it I just use 2 spanners to tighten the bit.
You are the man, brother! Im a 21 yr vet in home building and this fn awesome. I always fixed all my shit and still want to learn more. Brother do not stop! I just now found this channel so i hope u do dewalt. # engineering forever
Lovely job yet again! That Makita drills no doubt smashed though quite a few bricks in its time, gave it a great new lease in life😭🤣 i absolutely love the fact you’ve re used your Heinz snap pots & put them to good use
Super good videos you make.👍 Funny case I changed the aluminum housing on my DRT50, today it was also cracked and then I saw your video here later. (the house was in stock here in Denmark, and cost almost 40 Euro with vat)
Really nice. Some of us tool/machine/electric cleanup enthusiasts like all the nitty gritty of how YOU actually clean - supplies, brushes, appliances (ultrasonic bath etc etc). Thank you top notch
I love your videos. learn something new every time. I would love to see a complicated repair and longer videos too. Do whatever you feel is right for you. i will watch it. :-)
Hi Dean, found your channel recently and I’m thoroughly enjoying the videos, didn’t hesitate to subscribe. You certainly know your way round power tools and make your repairs look effortless. Having had Makita cordless tools for years (impact and drills) for personal building/diy work I’m now wondering, after hearing your comments in your videos about Milwaukee for instance, I’d love to know your opinion on what you consider the choice of brand for heavy-ish diy work/home use but not business use. I’ve always loved my makita’s but if I was to buy again what would you advise in terms of build, quality and price? Great content, best of luck to you and your family brother 👍🏻
I'm so glad I found your channel yesterday.... I've been watching heaps of your videos, so full of information....Likes and subscribed... Tell me please, I have Dewalt as my platform for around 20yrs now, but originally makita was my #1 when I 1st started my trade... what would you say overall the best brand to stick with ?? I look forward to hearing your advise...thanks
As long as it's not Milwaukee he's happy enough, but he does think that Milwaukee, like any brand has some tools that are worth the money/ good for their intended purpose.
DRT50 router is so handy but expensive. Watching shopfitters doing a costa coffee fit out, deadly bit of kit but I bought a 1/4 240v router for £20, compared to the £100 for the makita. Its crap though compared to the makita, now I have seen inside
love your style dean. i started working on tools after i started watching AvE on yt way back in 2011...i think. i started tearing tools apart just to see what was inside and along the way i learned what makes them tick. after his saying "its already f#ck so you cant f^ck it anymore, so what the worst you can do?" after that, wasnt afraid to get into anything. havent seen any hiltis on your channel yet. is that because they dont break or the break too much so no one uses them? also have you noticed a decline in quality since production has moved to china? when it comes to brushes, does it matter what kind you put in? should it be oem or can it be aftermarket? thanks.
Yes iv a few gikti repair videos also. You don't see them in much now. As I normaly refuse to take them in now. Hitli are not what they use to be, and the quality has taken a nose dive. To much hassel repairing them now, so I don't take them in. Brushes don't matter to much. Genuine is better but not essential. I often modify brushes to fix diffent of brand tools anyway.
I couldn’t agree more. Dewalt trim router design is horrible. Makita power tools are much easier to repair. Thats why my workshop is filled with Makita power tools.
The Dewalt finish nailers are pretty weak. I have had two of them. Still have one. If all you are shooting is pine to pine. They work. Anything else no go. For a service part like a fire pin. What a terrible set up. In the old days of air nailers, changing the firing pin was a quick easy job. Only thing in favour of the Dewalt over the Makita trimmer. The Makita is only poweful enough to use for light duties. The Dewalt has more grunt. Used with a plunge base. It can cope with slightly bigger jobs. Akin to a normal 1/4 router. But even the working design of the Dewalt is poor. A Makita on steroids version would be the go. Until then, flog the Dewalt.
@@riba2233 That is on the 40 V platform. Imagine would be good. Only have 18V Makita. Not likely to change whole platform. Both Dewalt and Hikoki are backward compatible. Shame Makita kept them separate. Might have bought some if I could have used with my existing. Haven't even tried 40V Makita tools. They get good reviews.
@@davetaylor4741 makitas 18v line is too old (almost 20 years now) and wasn't fit for the upgrade unfortunately, so a fresh start was a good thing. Milwaukee and DeWalt changed a few platforms before their current 18v lines so it was easier for them. In any case 40v line is great and it is totally worth it if you want more powerful tools :)
I was told by a viewer that you could have about half of these runnin !! I do NOT do this repair stuff do to lack of knowledge on repairing small tools !!
I like how he throws all the parts all over the table with no worries and with his experience puts it all together again no problem 😮
Mr. Willy Nilly
i'm a licensed Makita tech, owning my own repair shop, and it's a pleasure to watch your videos.
The draw full of screws made me smile
Based on the carnage I see that these tools get put through, I suspect my tools will last for my lifetime!
One of the best TH-cam channels I've ever come across. Thank you
Wow, thank you!
When a router been for ages and you hear "I didnt had one yet for repair" you know those are good powertools.
Every evening when I sit down to watch your latest video, you always seem to have gained another thousand subscribers, it's amazing!
My prediction is this channel will really grow this year. His accent, experience, no nonsense approach, attention to detail, and integrity is outstanding.
Just brilliant
I worked at the Makita service center for more than three years. I really liked your video.

Thanks for the video. Was trying to figure out how to take apart my makita trim router

As a beginner my first fear is to forget the places of screws
Some genius dropped that Makita 😂 Cracked housing and damaged bearing… was likely still spinning when it hit the ground

I would love to see you do more with pneumatic nailers if they come your way .
I would love to see the cleaning process thanks.
Class
Why never re-use old brushes? Idk anything about it, just wondering why
When the 200 pound gorilla and the quarter inch laminate trimmer meet, carnage ensues
👍👍

Bet u wouldn't ever think ud get paid twice from the same job lol we all love to learn
Dead what’s the model number of the pliers you use with the crimp.
It looks like there are too many fragile parts inside that DeWalt nail gun to break or wear out .
How do you clean the parts so well, could you show us cheers, great videos
Like your watch what model Casio is it, nice vids.
Hi Dean, you showed the replacement part No, how easy is it for the ordinary guy to get hold of parts.👍🏴
Loads of online shops specialising in parts
Are you the irish AVE?
Really annoying how he throws everything on table at million mph, but yet fixes everything 😂😂
Would love to get your opinion on the 680brad nailer from dewalt.
Nowadays, what brand do you think is the best for cordless carpentry tools?
I love watching your videos. Do you ever have power tools that you have =repaired and people don't collect them . Do you ever have stuff to sell
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Which website do you get your makita parts from please I need the same pad thank you
Is that a JIS driver bit?
U know what I see?!
A brushed 18v bosch impact what is fixing all others!!! 😂
How did u clean the parts? Thanks.
I can replace motor on those makita hammers pretty much eyes closed, good tool but wont like abuse.

@@davetaylor4741i absolutely love makita but their brad gun is so unreliable. Such a shame as it cost me $600
I had no idea that replacement parts could be ordered for small power tools.
Makita router - that's really cheap repair.
I got sound and I can see the video
I was told by a viewer that you could have about half of these runnin !! I do NOT do this repair stuff do to lack of knowledge on repairing small tools !!
No sound ??
Got sound, still no hd/fhd version tho
its working now
Seems like 50% of your business is those hammers, someone needs to make a better one
