Also makes repairing the item feel better I do electronics repair for friends and I've always cleaned the items first everything from guitar amps to phones and game consoles and controllers and enjoy them saying the item looks and feels like it's brand new
12:38 Those graphite pads on the red board are extremely worn out. This same problem causes 'stick drifting' in game controllers. I wonder if they could be repaired using a defrost repair kit. They sell them in auto parts stores for fixing the rear defrost lines in cars.
I am glad that you was willing to do a little rigging to get the impact driver going again instead of using a bunch of expensive parts that would have quickly added up to the cost of a new machine.
Fantastic video as usual Dean. I like all your added tips - especially the donor Milwaukee carcass for the additional plastic - nice touch 👍 Cheers for the regular and high quality content.
Have you considered getting an ultrasonic parts cleaner? Particularly good for cleaning electronic parts. Switches don't necessarily need to be dismantled so long as they have some opening to allow the cleaning fluid to enter.

- you keep me company a lot of hours... - just a quick note, whenever we leave some wires unconnected, it is a good practice to insulate them, since they may be not passive, but bring power to the sub-board, like the one that counts strokes.
I loved that you cleaned and repainted this tool. Now I am wondering if there's some type of colored plastic liquid that you can form and will harden. My go to brand is JB Weld for adhesives, etc
Hey, I heard you was going to go off the tube. I hope that was a big fat live because I certainly enjoy watching you work on all kinds of equipment and I knew you would clean the outside and the inside as well. You’re a good man and a good worker, we don’t have more like you over here in the United States Tallahassee, Fred
All my tools are spotless and kept sealed in their boxes or packets and stored on shelves away from dirt, fingerprints and grime. I must make a video to show them to TH-camrs one day.
You know, a 3D printer should pump out those little silicone dust boots no problem. I'm certain I heard they can 3D print silicone now. It would probably add to cost but a 3D printer would be an investment to repairing these mostly plastic tools.
You mentioned on a previous video that your go-to bosch repair drill sounded worse than the one you were repairing. How about a self-repair video of your bosch driver using your skil or something? Just a thought...
I would love to have seen his face when he got a nearly new gun back. Out if curiosity, whats the hourly rate for repairs. I have a load of broken tools from my years as a joiner but never thought it economical to repair them. Cheers. Good show
Great job Dean , as always . I've noticed this is the second impact wrench that is missing the push spring behind the battery retainer where You've put the o-ring, must have been opened before ...
Dean your deadly fair play I love this channel I’ve been following the tik tok with a year or so I’d say, I must ask you do you come across any snap on power tools and if so what way do you find them
How much did it cost to do these repairs/restoration? Just curious to the cost of repairs vs the cost of a new tool. Great job btw and great video too. Thanks!!
Hi Dean, nothing to do with Milwaukee just a question for you. Do you know if there is a Makita switch which will fit the Eibenstock PLD182.1 core drill, someone said that there was. I was thinking, if anyone knew it would be you.
I don't know if Ingersoll Rand is even in business anymore because I haven't been around it for years but I loved their tools and I had a Craftsman 1/2" air impact gun with 600 ft lb of reverse torque that was great.
Does kerosene have any impact on the pcb or electronic components? Because I usually use ipa but it less effective at removing all that grime on the stator. Thanks
The manufacturer declares it in user manual, if not try search online. Any type of lithium based grease will do, but viscosity can depend on type of power tool.
Anyone know how to fix a loose anvil on one of these? I took it apart but didn't see much. The tool doesn't really owe me anything it is 6-7 years old. I did notice that the front nose housing is broken around the anvil. Not sure if that is what holds it tight? Thanks to anyone who replies.
How can anyone treat their power tools this way. My Milwaukee high torque is 1 year old, I use it everyday and I clean it at the end of everyday. It still looks brand new due to using Tub O Towels to clean them. Do not be lazy techs, those tools are your life line. There is ZERO excuse for this filth.
@@hb_main1471 I just look after my tools. 5 minutes at the end of the day is pretty damn cheap insurance. There are ZERO excuses for filthy dirty tools.
ill agree with you as a homeowner you dont need milwaukee. ryobe or bosch is fine. but you will get made fun of on a jobsite or mechanic garage with those underpowered tools. they call those fisher price kids toys.
⚠️ Dean, be careful of contact / break cleaner and solvents in general 🙏🏻 It is really nasty stuff, I advise you to spray them outside when possible and limit skin contact to the minimum, really. You should not be stuborn on that point 😌 Take care !
Client must have been amazed to get it back in such amazing condition. Great work!
In 20 years of repairing tools I've never returned a repaired tool that was not cleaned inside and out, It just helps make the customer feel better.
Also makes repairing the item feel better I do electronics repair for friends and I've always cleaned the items first everything from guitar amps to phones and game consoles and controllers and enjoy them saying the item looks and feels like it's brand new
Helps in fault finding, too. Far too easy to miss something broken that's covered in shite
It also makes the tool perform closer to New …..
You deserve a cookie
Most of deans repairs are closed and returned dirty af
He should clean all tools he repairs
Is it weird that I love seeing you throw things on the table, screws, parts.. etc feels like everything is in your way 😂
This is more like a restoration than a repair. Thanks for the video.
Installing the hog ring using the soft tabletop was brilliant! 🏆

Learning how to keep tools as well..
Keeping them clean.
Very nice job, and I'm sure the customer will appreciate the attention. Nice work!
"Unless you're one of the odd people that use the bluetooth function" 😄
There’s a few who do 😂 but I think it’s safe to say that mechanic wasn’t going home and checking the Bluetooth on his impact gun
@@Cormacmoore1It’s a gimmick. I wish they spent that dollar or two making some other part better. Like, say, the switch 😂
Learning all the time Dean thanks for sharing 🦘
Have you considered getting an ultrasonic parts cleaner? Particularly good for cleaning electronic parts. Switches don't necessarily need to be dismantled so long as they have some opening to allow the cleaning fluid to enter.
It's more about getting out the dirt and seeing it has gone.
@@jostouw4366 that's why I said that the part needs an opening for the fluid to enter.

Great work, Dean--that's a really nice bit of work.
Lovely job, Sir 👍
My old M18 fuel hammer drill won't die.... I've performed open heart surgery on it 2 or 3 times😂
Thanks Dean! Keep them coming!!!!!!
Master of the craft, excellent workmanship
*Thank you* for the video Dean. Greatly appreciated as always. 👍
Great job Dean
Attention to detail is 👌🏻
I've got one it's a beast unbelievable power
Another happy customer

no plans to stop posting videos any time soon. Ill stop posting the repair videos when i run out of repairs. 👍
Keep posting please..still learning from u in Malaysia now here..@@deandohertygreaser

Zip ties should also work for repairing that body, they are cheap and easy to melt, and also easy to maneuver.
Perhaps but using the same plastic with glass fibre in it lasts longer.
Ahhh but I've job Dean, looking forward to another!!!

45eur body, 10eur retaining ring thank you milwacky
Nice fix, the owner must've thought he'd got a new machine 😊

Wish my 1/2 inch Makita impact had an O-ring on the anvil as the hog ring doesn't hold well. Not sure what they were thinking as my 3/8 has a O-ring.
Fixing a Milwaukee with a Bosch 😎
The ultimate indignity!
I would love to have seen his face when he got a nearly new gun back.
Out if curiosity, whats the hourly rate for repairs. I have a load of broken tools from my years as a joiner but never thought it economical to repair them.
Cheers.
Good show
Where do u find the replacement motor units or only used parts?
Great job Dean , as always . I've noticed this is the second impact wrench that is missing the push spring behind the battery retainer where You've put the o-ring, must have been opened before ...
No, milwaukee changed the design and removed the spring. They have springs anymore so the battery contacts burn up faster
Nice job
Great video.
The 3 year old tool that looked like a 20+ year old warrior now looks almost new. Can I come there to get some of that treatment for my body??
Hello, tell me, please, what kind of lubricant do you lubricate the impact mechanisms of the wrenches?
Hi Dean, great video as always. Curious what brand you would recommend for DIYing bit of everything - woodwork, working on car, general use. Cheers
Nice video. What are you useing to clean body and all?
Kerosene
After cleaning stop working... lights comes on but not spins... ant idea what could be?
Dean your deadly fair play I love this channel I’ve been following the tik tok with a year or so I’d say, I must ask you do you come across any snap on power tools and if so what way do you find them
I never see snapon tools.
How much did it cost to do these repairs/restoration? Just curious to the cost of repairs vs the cost of a new tool. Great job btw and great video too. Thanks!!
6:20 What does Bluetooth do on this? Edit: 8:35 - settings, gotcha 👍
Buen trabajo saludos desde mexico
This is really cool. The only question I have is why put so much grease where that bushing is but none on the actual gears?
I do grease the gears, but experience has shown me not to put on to much. As it just comes back out and into the motor
@@deandohertygreaser good to know. Thanks for the tips
i think i will do that this winter i got a bunch to do 😅

They are still around. TBH quality is not what it used to be but still solid enough on average but every company has gone downhill on quality control.
so much love for a Milwaukee, Dean are you okay?
I did prepare myself. But it still stings
That’s some serious Gooch Collector vibes :)
I've replaced a few hog rings. Haha, learned something.
Same. I feel like an idiot after seeing that.
is it safe to say dont use break cleaner on these things
Love the notches on the drivers, what set is that from And what do they call it?
System 6
@deandohertygreaser thanks buddy
Whats the best liquid to clean out the machine, because im a mecanic and a always use brake clean, but seeing the video i made a bad call😅😅
Hiya young man hru wat is aground wire is it earth
I think releasing the parts washing as ASMR would get Dean good viewing figures 😂😁
Does kerosene have any impact on the pcb or electronic components? Because I usually use ipa but it less effective at removing all that grime on the stator.
Thanks
If I remember right he said that it doesn't do anything to the electronics
Question from a novice in South Africa. What grease is best for metal gears and bearings in power tools please.
The manufacturer declares it in user manual, if not try search online. Any type of lithium based grease will do, but viscosity can depend on type of power tool.
I am a mechanic....my Tools are allways Clean !!!

"Today on The Detail Geek..."
What's the solution you use in that parts cleaner? Is it just a detergent/dish washing liquid or something more special?
kerosene
@@deandohertygreaser oh wow, I would've thought Kero would attack the bonding of the soft plastic over molding, fair enough
Dean how about if we put a drop of superglue for the battery retainer instead of sotering the plastic
glue is soft,you want something hard to pack out the movement of the battery
wont be as durable over time considering the battery might be smashing in and out on a weekly basis the superglue will deform or break down quicker.
Super glue is very brittle and doesn't bond well with most types of plastic.
It's probably been answered before but what do you use in the parts washer as the cleaner?
Kerosene
@@Thailandescapades thanks!
How much do you charge for this magic?
11:21 Wow Dean you sure do work really fast when you're cleaning that thing out in the recently cleaned parts washer!😂😅👍🏻👌🏻🛠️🔧🔩🤦🏻♂️
✊🏻🇺🇸🦅
Time is money
The dirt inside that Milwaukee was probably full of metal particles oil and Grease. Not great stuff inside a switch.
Does that extra power come at a cost?
yes, Milwaukee tools last no time, and are generally not worth fixing when they fail outside warranty.
Bet you wish the parts wash was turbo speed all the time
You bet
That thing has seen war in 3 years 😂
Thought you had given up on Milwaukee Dean
Milwaukee isn’t actually the most powerful 1/2 but gun now, that goes to the dcf961
What do you use for cleaner and your parts washer
Kerosene
diesel works too but it smells terrible 😂
@@paulmcgeoch2603For real?
IF YOU HAVE ONE - HOT GLUE GUN WORKS WELL TO PACK OUT LOOSE HOUSING PARTS
Good Job. Good plastic surgery, but your soldering iron tip may not solder the same?
That is something Milwaukee don’t do went we send tool to repair clean the tool and make them new
Another one saved from the WEE graveyard.
Cheers Dean.
45 euro for the housing? 😮

Jeez she was boggin
Wow , works & looks great........maybe should clean the outside on others...LOL
I mean I understand you own a mechanic shop but at least clean your tools at least like once a year
Some job done there
Milfuckee...
Nice work as always 👏 👍 👌 💪
Can buy a new one for $90 bucks!
i call this bullshit, you put it in a muddy water, no way it's that nasty inside
great video tho
⚠️ Dean, be careful of contact / break cleaner and solvents in general 🙏🏻
It is really nasty stuff, I advise you to spray them outside when possible and limit skin contact to the minimum, really.
You should not be stuborn on that point 😌
Take care !
