- In this episode we look at a Craftsman handheld blower and ask the question, "why do they build them like this"? If the thought of splitting your blower in half to do a simple restring gets you down then you'll want to follow along and see how easy it really is.

This is well done! I looked at variety of these repair videos and none were this well done.....disassembly, assembly, everything! Nice work
Thanks, and thanks for watching!
I am so glad that you showed the handle portion of the blower. When I took mine apart that bent rod just kinda fell out. I really had no idea where it went or even why it was in there. I guess it's an anti-static type of deal. I looked up the parts for the blower and the diagram doesn't even show that rod. Fortunately I was able to see where it went in your video. Thanks very much.
Glad to have helped and thanks for tuning in!
@@TheGreasyShopRag, while I have your attention, what size Torx are you using on those MTD Torx screws? A T-25 is too big and a T-20 seems like it's a hair too small. It seems like maybe a T-21 or T-22 would fit tight, but you can't find them anywhere.
@@RMartin631 Don't remember but it either T25 or T20. Maybe your T20 is a little rounded on the end?
OHHHH Man thank you so much... I couldn't figure out how to add tension to the coil thingy.
Glad you got your thingy all figured out. Thanks for watching!
Magnific 😊
Thanks for watching!
Hi. Do you remember what size starter cord you used for this job? I’m guessing maybe # 4 but wanted to be sure. Thanks!
Sorry, I don't remember.
Ugga Dugga? is that a regional/technical term? I think out here in West Texas we call it AKKK AKKK AAKKK..Thats the impact wrench torqing WAY TOO Mucho on a lil bitty screw🦍.Personally I try to stay away from akk akk guns on the reassembly. Damn plastic and pewter/ aluminum/whatever is jinky enough without putting the gorilla gun on it. 👍👍👍. Thanks for the info.And yeah I liked and subscribed.
Thanks for taking the time to comment and sub.
Is there a ceryain lenght for the pull crank rope?
Ther're all different. I don't know the exact length for this unit but I always try to put as much rope on as possible without binding the return spring at full extension.
How do you get the tube off ...he put it on the floor and couldnt dee .
On the left side of the tube is a slot where you can see a red tab. Push the red tab in and pull the tube off. At 2:02 you can see a good shot of the tab after tube has been removed.
It seems stuck on somehow . I have tried pushing it but won't come off . This is a terrible design . Ty for your time .
@@JamesArnold-bv8tc I must have had problems with it also if I took it to the floor like that and edited some of the footage out. Good luck.
One of these days Scot I’d like to get you on a Saturday afternoon stream with a bunch of people at the chat room people from the UK the USA and Canada join in on the fun it’s a Small Engine community that has a lot of fun we answer some questions and we talk about silly things daily common problems for two hours so why don’t you come and join us one of these days I think you’d like it let me know
It sounds wonderful.
What a terrible design. Why do people need to reinvent the wheel?
We live in a disposable society where it isn't necessary to make things easy to fix. Buy a new one!
Engineers rank right up there with politicians. Remove the engine to replace the pull chord? A pull chord with like 4 bends in it?
@@hrdman2luv exactly silly design
don't need to take all that handle apart.
I Hate Crapsman’s 😩🥵😳
