I had one back in 2005-2007. Excellent tool. I sold it for almost the same money as I bough it brand new. Old Makita double-layer cases were great. Now I'm using HR5212C. There are two interesting differences. First one is the new model (5212 vs 5001) is about 20% cheaper. It's because this kind of rotary hammers became more popular, so their price dropped relatively. Second thing is vibration dampening. The new model is phenomenal. There is ZERO vibration transferred to operator. You can use your hip as a support and you don't feel anything. I remember that after couple of hours using 5001 I was flat-out tired, while after using 5212 I feel even better and relaxed. That sound took me back in time. I wouldn't think that I could get sentimental over an old demo rotary hammer. Great job and good video. Thank you for showing us all this.
As others said, the arrow mark is most likely a UK military stock number. The MOD used to periodically hold auctions of surplus equipment at Hereford and many items sold had been in storage and not used. Like the Boy Scouts the Army has to "Be Prepared"!
Hi Dean, amazing stuff, I was the only other guy bidding for this drill in July. Would you believe it was watching your videos that started me buying 'spares or repair' Makita tools for my own use and giving them a mid life overhaul (bearings, seals, grease and a few new parts). I'm delighted you got a real bargain and even more so that you've shared another great video to help others. Eventually I bagged a good, used Bosch GBH 11 DE in lieu of the Makita. Guess who's excellent videos I'll be watching when I overhaul it. Cheers from a fellow greaser (well EP90 gear oil mostly but that's another story!).
Thanks Dean, you won the auction fair and square. I ducked out because I usually bid for items where the motor is at least running. Fortune favours the brave and you deserved the win not least for all the help and inspiration your great videos have given me.
"Never just assume not worth fixing." Words to live by. Over the years, I've probably fixed enough items to fill a skip. The number of things I've built into something else would easily fill a bin lorry. e.g. some old supermarket shelves were turned into a ramp for getting a lawnmower in and out of the back of a car when I was working as a gardener. Push the mower up and hook at the top of the ramp, lift from the bottom, and 2 legs dropped down to make a table to clean the mower before it went back into the car. I've been using that ramp for close to 20 years! 😂 Great video, thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
That was an awesome score bro . I work as a yardman for construction company. Last week as I was dumping some rubbish I found an old rusted arc welder thrown out with torch and earth clamp and mask. I recognized those welders back in 1981 Aussie made . So I cleaned around transformer,torch , earth clamp , spray electric coated it , changed frayed wiring . Finally plugged it in and walla , goes like a dream with smooth welding . Also found a burnt out industrial drill , did the same process clean commutator and armature check and it also run like a dream . Casing was badly burnt but still can make out its make as scintilla, that drill runs beautiful. I think it belongs to the Bosch drill family , not too sure
Yo Mr Dean thank you for sharing this all some video of a sweet Makita hammer you sure have got yourself a bargain there when is the next repairathon video I love them I could get though a four pack of beer watching them cheers take care my friend 😄
Nice teardown and a great find! The moment you took off the rubber cap of that shaft I was like yeah this one doesn't looked used at all, I think the super clean electronics kinda confirmed it.
LOVING These where you are hunting for these types of "faulty" items that you fix! You could literally clean up from eBay purchases of spares or repairs! Has this ever been a road you have gone down? This aint too bad for £80 is it ;-) Thumbs up.
Enjoyed this video (enjoy all your videos, Dean!) - but interesting to see your approach to everything. I recently bought a Metabo B560 power shear second hand (not sure if you have those in Ireland, I'm in Australia) to do some demo work on an old metal shed to cut up the sheets... a grinder would use too many discs... The Metabo tool was a bit old and sad but worked but could be better... but thought what would Dean do - tracked down parts, new shear head (could only get the new model one which fit but needed modifying the old tool body), new brushes (from The Netherlands!), gear oil and did a tear down, carefully, rebuilt, new head installed, new brushes, greased the gears and the thing is like new - just as you said at the end, just because something isn't working well doesn't mean it's for the bin... it's now working brilliantly and just took a bit of time to do. Thanks for taking the time to make all your videos and explaining things - you may not realize it but you are a great teacher, explaining without lecturing and showing without having to labour a point.
That black label has a little broad arrow mark. Denoting it was at some point government property and belonged to the British Army/navy etc... Not to mention the angle its slapped on, totally gov issue. Nobody else would slap on a label with so little care for such an expensive item. No way on earth was that label installed by Makita, the Japanese are the world most careful label applicators.
Eye spy the broad arrow…….. That sticker denotes MoD property, which explains it being held in stores and you getting it (almost as) new. Good old 5 finger discount from an ex service lad, and then on eBay 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Or stored forever, not needed and then auctioned off at some point. Buyer probably found it didn't work and stuck it on eBay spares or repairs. There's plenty of auctions like that at least in other countries, not sure about the UK. I know a chap who bought an insane mid-1950s petrol cooker off of the Swiss army in an auction, never used. That thing cracks out enormous heat but it's noisy as a jet engine, requires a lot of care and patience to light without burning down everything within a five-metre radius (if you don't preheat with alcohol until the heads are properly hot you'll get flames up to two metres tall) and if you run it on Aspen fuel it's ugly expensive to operate. Oh and the controls are on or off, no way of regulating the heat. Pretty much its only advantage over a gas ring on calor cylinders is that it will run fine in sub-freezing temperatures.
The used tools market must be very different in Europe b/c a broken tool like that as big and new as it is wouldn't bring more than $50 tops here in Los Angeles 😮😮😮 Great job fixing it!
The replacement or equivalent hammer drill would cost $1,200.00 here in the states and you can get a reconditioned one for about $400.00 but $132.00 with very few if any hours on it is not going to happen. Great find and service, Jersey Bill
The gearbox internals look factory fresh. It may have been used once, but not much and most of the plastic casings look perfect. It's almost too nice to use.
Was thinking, for cleaning up the armature, putting the spindle into a drill chuck and using Scotchbrite to clean up the armature and commutator might’ve been a better option.
Spares and repairs is my goto now, generally I can buy broken and fix for less than a budget version. Bosch gex sander £20 seller said under powered turns out he didn't know about speed knob... Festool ets/ec 150/3 with plug it lead £45,needed a new motor mount/bottom bearing £47 Ryobi 16g nail gun £30, needed a new trigger latch £11 Paslode im350 £60, needed a clean and treated it to a service kit and lube £25 2x festool palm Sanders £37 new bearings let's say £5 Festool kapex £130, needed the new motor refurb kit like the one dean fitted the other week £120,no shipping seller lived 1/2 mile away So I reckon I got about 3 grands worth of kit for about £600, a little bit of effort and lot of fun
@@deandohertygreaser thank you for all the tips and knowledge you share, the only problem I find with telling people how much it cost you and you fixed it your self, is that then they ask if you can then fix a chest of knackered kit rolling arround the back of their van.....

A brushed motor used the brushed to contact the rotor. When the brushes contact each set of com bars the energize one segment of the rotor to produce a electro magnet. This magnet repels the field permanent magnet causing the rotor to rotate and energize the next segment and so on and so forth. Making the rotor turn fast. But the brushes crease friction and hear that wears out the motor over time. Brushless motors use a computer controler to energize different segments of the field at exact times to get the rotor spinning. Nothing contacts the rotor meaning no friction and very little heat produced. This gives brushless motors more run time, higher power and more efficiency. An ideal choice for cordless tools.
Also as a side note I see at 26 minutes in you use the Erbauer impact. Those I think are manafuctured by Chevron (SKIL) for Screwfix exclusively and B&Q. At £150 when on offer for the impact and combi and 2 x 5ah they are a bargain. They are a bargain at the current price of £200 for that kit with charger. Your thoughts?
That small label looks like government crows foot like they use in the military. However, it must be a different department because that is not a military number. The 99 means NATO I think then a serial number but there should be 4 numbers before the 99?
Dean I received my hedge trimmer that Makita just serviced and it has nearly no power they replaced the motor and dlade and now it has very low power why do you think that is
In retrospect. Do you think using the belt sander right over the open case was a bad idea? I’m learning so much from your videos! I’ve already repaired my Makita 9403 using your videos. Thank you!

Sorry about that.
At least you got a good one in the end. The bosch gbh11de is a beast of a machine.
Thanks Dean, you won the auction fair and square. I ducked out because I usually bid for items where the motor is at least running. Fortune favours the brave and you deserved the win not least for all the help and inspiration your great videos have given me.
Fantastic purchase and yeah it does still look brand new and sounds amazing well done
Super repair and what a bargain - but only because you know what you are doing!! Many thanks for the videos!
Great score, Dean! Glad it wasn't too difficult to get her back up and running. Thanks for sharing!
Great video Deane as the guy below said The broad arrow marking signifies military issue !! Great Work❤the channel👍
Great skills, great bargain

That's an absolute steal, congratulations on that find, nice to see people get lucky like this 👍

Nice find
I have a makita demo hammer from the same year..Still bustin concrete.. Absolute tank of a tool..

The way you break down tools is insane
Congrats on The Deal of The Year, maybe even Century! 😯 🤩
Nice Job and Mad Skills @ 17:04. 👍🤝😊 Cheers
Early Christmas present! Well done.

thanks for that, and fantastic job fixing up the shears.
Dont get many shears here, not as populare. Most lads like the nibblers here.
Saludos y gracias por tu videos Roto martillos ❤❤😊😊🎉🎉

Definatley MOD
I thought NSN as soon as I saw it too
Thats a wild guess
If it was government property it explains why it was left to rot, typical.
Just came on here to say this
Worth the money and time. Cheers

Great job!!!!
I have one, I do not know how old it is, it banged allot and running strong.
WOOHOO God blessed you good on that one, my Dear Brother Dean. Another prayer of mine answered 😇👍
Good video Dean
Is that a government service serial number on that black label?
The used tools market must be very different in Europe b/c a broken tool like that as big and new as it is wouldn't bring more than $50 tops here in Los Angeles 😮😮😮
Great job fixing it!
Awesome video dean! Great video to watch whilst having my evening grub 😋😊

Wow, that's cheaper than renting one for a week here in the states.
Nice one, had one they were an excellent machine.
I think that's what you call a result! 😮
that black sticker means that it was British military issue that is a stock number
la frase más usada por Dean ,:" no se tan mal " , saludos desde Bs As , ( que no se vé tan mal )
The black label definitely Looks like a British MOD crows foot mark followed by the NATO Stock number,
Normally has four digits before the -99- though
A nice bargain Dean
Definitely a military property label 👍
Good deals on used parts on eBay, if one isn't in a hurry.
What a steal sir
Spares and repairs is my goto now, generally I can buy broken and fix for less than a budget version.
Bosch gex sander £20 seller said under powered turns out he didn't know about speed knob...
Festool ets/ec 150/3 with plug it lead £45,needed a new motor mount/bottom bearing £47
Ryobi 16g nail gun £30, needed a new trigger latch £11
Paslode im350 £60, needed a clean and treated it to a service kit and lube £25
2x festool palm Sanders £37 new bearings let's say £5
Festool kapex £130, needed the new motor refurb kit like the one dean fitted the other week £120,no shipping seller lived 1/2 mile away
So I reckon I got about 3 grands worth of kit for about £600, a little bit of effort and lot of fun
That's the way to do it.
I love seeing peoples faces when you tell them how much the cost you. Makes lads green envy. 👌
@@deandohertygreaser thank you for all the tips and knowledge you share, the only problem I find with telling people how much it cost you and you fixed it your self, is that then they ask if you can then fix a chest of knackered kit rolling arround the back of their van.....

Makita 👏 👏
Hope this doesn sound like a Stupid Question but what are the brushes for and how come nowadays you have brushless motors .
Whats the difference?
A brushed motor used the brushed to contact the rotor. When the brushes contact each set of com bars the energize one segment of the rotor to produce a electro magnet. This magnet repels the field permanent magnet causing the rotor to rotate and energize the next segment and so on and so forth. Making the rotor turn fast.
But the brushes crease friction and hear that wears out the motor over time.
Brushless motors use a computer controler to energize different segments of the field at exact times to get the rotor spinning.
Nothing contacts the rotor meaning no friction and very little heat produced.
This gives brushless motors more run time, higher power and more efficiency.
An ideal choice for cordless tools.
Ok you got my attention LOL. Just bought a hilti te 5 for 59 euros, body only. Just want to see if it is serviceable. If not, you ought me 59 euros 😜
I got a sneaking suspicion that this one is actually going to be on display and the Frankenstein GSH 11 E is the one that will be doing the work.
Dean I bought a dewalt anniversary drillan doesn't want to stay in reverse is there an easy fix
Ever thought about a small laser rust removal for the small pieces of equipment?
Also as a side note I see at 26 minutes in you use the Erbauer impact.
Those I think are manafuctured by Chevron (SKIL) for Screwfix exclusively and B&Q. At £150 when on offer for the impact and combi and 2 x 5ah they are a bargain. They are a bargain at the current price of £200 for that kit with charger.
Your thoughts?
Couldn't agree more. Nothing wring with the erbauer or skil tools
Petit commentaire pour le référencement !!! le petit com qui fait plaisir.................
Hey Dean can you fix a makita radio because I also have several that I don’t know how I fix it
He has done some in the past, one was the charger and another was the board from memory, they do sell all the parts you might need btw :)
That small label looks like government crows foot like they use in the military. However, it must be a different department because that is not a military number. The 99 means NATO I think then a serial number but there should be 4 numbers before the 99?
Military crows foot sticker = might be ex-MOD?
1L water 100g citric acid and 63g of bicarb soda, cheapest evaporust you’ll ever make
👍👍👍👍
Will you be selling it?
How do you rate Hilti tools?
Serious? A beltsander to clean the armature? 😂😂😂 I actually would not dare to do it.
Question I'm not being rude or anything is hell a good word
Dean I received my hedge trimmer that Makita just serviced and it has nearly no power they replaced the motor and dlade and now it has very low power why do you think that is
Sounds like they didn't fit the parts correctly. I take it it is a battery one
@@deandohertygreaser yes I sent it back but it’s annoying without my kit let’s see what they say
How do you know it's a real Makita when you pay?
"Crows foot"
Not a bad way to make money for an overseas holiday each year $120 out sell it for $600 so that 4 or 5 times a year = great holiday
When I make extra money,, I can guarantee you I wouldn't be spending it on a holiday.
I find it far more relaxing spending my time at home.
@deandohertygreaser I'm the same mate especially when I'm in Australia
You say that they still come in for service but we dont see these anywhere near the amount of Bosch you show
Bosch is and was way more popular as they are a better price to buy. Plus the makita hammers where simply better and lasted longer.
Dean. You've probably been asked this loads of times but.... Do you have a favourite power tool brand?
Makita, why do you think I buy makita tools from ebay.
Why does makita uses such a very liquid grease it keeps leaking out while using their drills and angle grinder isn't that bad behavior
Give you 120 for it 😉
You forgot a zero 🤣
Please
british and their silly yellow plugs
In retrospect. Do you think using the belt sander right over the open case was a bad idea? I’m learning so much from your videos! I’ve already repaired my Makita 9403 using your videos. Thank you!
