Hi John, That was very interesting! Beautiful job on the restoration and reassembly. Very Impressive performance. Looking forward to seeing your model! Thanks! 😃👍
Great video. I just got one out of my father n laws barn. I have more "iconic" tools than I know what to do with! 😂 he retired from the carpenters union as a union rep, teacher, superintendent, ect. And im just a dumb drywall and framer lol. But I might start my own company with all these tools. They all seem to work well. Thanks for the video sir I will be cleaning mine up as well!
Wow John you really do understand the workings of this type of tool I cannot believe you designed one and brought it to market I didn‘t realize you had so many strings to your bow fantastic mate I’m a little bit disappointed though you didn‘t fire it through your neighbors fence to test the mechanism properly🤣👍⚒️
it’s funny John because I see those all the time on the flea market I might be tempted to pick one up now I know what they actually do thanks for the video may really enjoy it as always :-)
@@tooladdict7463 This model is okay. I see others at flea markets that are old obsolete tools with no parts availability.and/or loads and fasteners so they would be non working tools..
Hi. Great video! I work for a contractor in Nova Scotia Canada. We recently purchased another one of these off Ebay. The shot cartridges will not feed. I took the back end off but honestly not sure what to look for. Can you advise please?
Hi John, those first clone tools really were badly made, they have improved but they are still not as good as the original. At least some of the parts for Hilti's new DX-2 tool will fit on the DX-350. I had a DX-350 clone tool repair come in once with the DX-2 base plate. I gave them a clone base plate and kept the Hilti one.
WOW BEAUTIFUL 👍👍👍👍 I Have one it makes me jealous I want to go and clean it and fix it up.🤗👍👍👍👍 GODBLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND EVERYONE..
I have one just like it still in the case, it's a steel Case everything is in the Case I've had it a long time , bought it for one Job and never used it again lol , it's in new condition

Thanks for you quick reply, I know nothing usually compares to Hilti but do Spit come close ? I’ve never owned one of these ( only hired ) but doesn’t look like much can go wrong. The gun I’m looking to buy seems a bargain, it comes with some cartridges and fixings and they can demonstrate working, it’s £25 or approx $35.
SPIT made some tools for Ramset that were imported to the USA and they used a circular 10 shot disc load. Other than that one I am not familiar with their tools. If you are getting it to use you may want to be sure the powder loads are still available. $35 is a good price for a working tool with accessories. The key thing is to keep the tool clean and to always start with a light load first. Overpowering the tool is dangerous and can also cause tool breakage.
SPIT is located in France and manufacturers powder actualed tools. SPIT was purchased by ITW Illinois Tool Works in the 1980's. ITW also owns Ramset Fastening Systems.
sorry I would not know without having the tool in hand. It's either a broken part or needs complete tear down and cleaning. Also could be incorrect reassembly.
Awesome work. You're a Genius, there are very few technicians like you around. You can tell it's not just the skill it's passion. May God Bless
Thank you for your wonderful compliment Chandra

Thanks for your comments Cody. This tool is my most watched video. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
Thank you for the video sir, greetings from the middle east.
Greetings and thanks for your comments and watching.
Great restoration John, I remember the DX350 as the standard of the industry. Thanks for the details and demo! Brings back memories
Thank you for your comments Jeff.

Thanks Sparky.
Fascinating John. Thanks
Thank you John
Sweet. Thaknk John for sharing!
Hi Rob. Thanks for the nice shout out on your channel. I really appreciate it.
That looks like a great tool, I wonder how many shots one of those is good for.
Properly used and maintained the number is unlimited. 50k, 100k etc.

Great video, I'm looking to get one of these, I'm in the U.K. Does Spit brand mean anything to you ?

Hi. I have this gun but it doesn't shoot. I took it Apart many times, cleaned and still doesn't work. Do you know where is the problem ?

That was very interesting, thanks
Thank you Tony for your comments.
I think firing pin in mine is broke
Ты прострелил только лишь одно железо, Но самое важное как это железо будет крепится к бетонному основанию ты не показал. (
What chemical do I use to clean the tool? Also what chemical to lube it upon reassembly? Thanks.
I use WD-40 To clean tool. Also lubricate tool with WD-40 and wipe down . Less is better as the oil gums up the tool.
Thank you. @@johnfix1
