I dont know about you but I use to take things apart as a kid I mean all of my toys all of then alot of them never went back together which is a shame cause they were first gen power Rangers zords and power Rangers figures along with street sharks .. I'm getting old. Some made it back together .. but now to this day I enjoy to tinker and can solder and fix electronics myself always enjoy the power tool repairs and electronics kinda runs hand in hand .
I enjoy hearing your diagnostics and value assessments. Provided a manufacturer can and WILL support products with quality parts, they can be saved. Another issue I've learnt from you is which good quality hand tools are worth buying. Items like small Torx drivers that are NOT made of Plasticine & fit properly. I have used crap in the past, they wreck screws and waste time. Thanks for being a good teacher.
I got cheap corded router from Biltema (Scandinavia) , lock lever snapped off after few uses , they send whole new machine because no spare parts of any kind , lock lever did not last long in replacement tool either , for €50 not much used, its tool hard to press down , lock lever needs pliers to operate . Now i have 12v Bosch and 18v Makita cordless routers , totally different feel and easy to use .
Another well spent weekend morning breakfast watching this. Please consider putting together some specific videos on bearing, motors and similar. It would be very helpful for those who want to educate themselves. You could be teaching this! Thanks either way : )
I sure hope the engineers at Milwaukee somehow come across channels like yours and take some necessary advice. They went from a great tool manufacturer to just good in my opinion.
Hi Dean, you should consider labelling some of your videos as restorations in the title. Especially really defective and dirty ones. It would bring in a lot of views. This knowledge you give needs to reach as many people as possible!!!
I hope this channel doesn’t become hand tool rescue( in a different way) 1 mill would be nice for dean but htr kind of doesn’t upload much, dean is on it with vids rain or shine
Good morning, I believe it would be a plus if you would wear rubber gloves when putting your hands into petroleum. I used to constantly put my hands in gasoline, kerosene, lacquer thinner and I stopped because of all the ill effects the petroleum products had on me. I do want to say thoroughly enjoy your Channel and you have a wonderful rest of your day, Mike
I got an old 30+ year old Bosch SDS 110v drill & to this day I still think it drills better than any other drills I used. I know Bosch invented the SDS system but there seems to be something different in how they actually drill that is way more efficient than others. The other fantastic drill I had was a original Metabo back when they were proper industrial build quality when every plumber & electrician had Metabo drills.
Was showing my boss your videos dean now he knows why Im sleeping in for work just cant get enough of the videos mate,iv musta seen most of them twice while waiting on the next one 😂
So satisfying when the fault is far from obvious yet you troubleshoot a fix, bringing it back to life. You are a pro my friend! Keep at her! Just out of curiosity, is this your business? Do you do warranty work for major brands? How long have you been doing repairs? I'd be interested in seeing a video on how you came to be where you are.
no its not my business. I work for a hardware shop doing all the repairs for them. And i would be a repair agent for Makita and Bosch tools so i can do all the warrenty repairs for them. as this shop mainly sells makita a bosch tools and likes to get there customers tools back to them as fast as possible.
Hi Dean. Looks like you were more of a sparks today! Not only can you fix all the mechanical stuff, but you also know all about what makes them tick!! Is there anything you CAN'T fix??!?
Guy with the Trend router is gonna be real popular and eye catching when he takes his router to the next Rave dance party with his router lit up like a Christmas tree
I have done a handful of those bosch board level repairs. Between Milwaulkee and some other brands, I've been able to save them when the board is either too expesive or unavailable. Just cant replace the main controller chip since they have programming I don't have.
I had one it was smaller than that Makita Grinder, the first one, in the video that I don't know if it was from the 70s probably the 80s and unfortunately I lost it in a storage. It still was good. I don't know what model, but it had a black slider switch on the side that you push it forward and it would stay running I mean you could let go of the switch.
I have one of them Milwaukee grinders I purchased it brand new in 2019 and went to replace it as a matter of course and that has that bearing fitted, but looking at the armature on the one your fixing is different in design yours has a red fan and a red end cap and also where that bearing is pressed on yours it isn't as beefy, that bit on mine is about the same diameter as the diameter of the bearing. And looking at yours it's a veritable speed unit that could be why the armature looks different maybe.
Great videos Dean. I have a question, what type of adhesive glue do you recommend using to reattach rubber comfort grips on drills and other tools? Thanks!
Ah the famous my machine is losing power and there is a disco inside the motor, must be the brushes 🥲 Thanks for the repairs again, I guess more and more people in Ireland have noticed your channel and decided to sent in their machines to have them featured in a vid of yours 👍
What are SKF bearings like, any good? Also what grease do you use, for example in the grinder? I have heard you mention Bosch grease at some point? Would be interesting with a video on grease if there are different greases you use for different parts of tools etc if there is enough to have a video on it.
Hi Dean, just to let you know, I bought a Wiha system 6 set from Amazon, and the quality is fantastic. However, the set is still incomplete even after 3 replacement orders bits are still missing. I've found Amazon is not the place to buy Wiha products
Dean ,see regarding the flexvolt batteries and their protection capabilities and difficulty to repair.would it make sense to check their voltage every few days to check when they start to lose power .then you can maybe boost them a bit to get them back up to a reasonable voltage before they fall below the required voltage to boost if that makes sense?
Dean I have had a couple of DeWalt brushless circular saws come in not powering up but if you twist the blade slightly it will work perfect and keep working until the blade stops again I can leave it run till it nearly stops and press the trigger and it will go perfect but soon as I leave it come to a complete stop Blade has to be twisted again for it to work have you ever seen this before if you could reply would be great help thanks
Rare to see an angle grinder last long enough for all the bearings and the gears to be worn out while the machine is still in good condition otherwise.
It sounds like you are a victim of your own success, your videos are a great advert for your repair service. You can repair pretty much anything and it's very notable that you are always considerate of the overall cost and viability of the repair. Many repair shops either give up too easily or don't consider if its really worth it for the customer.

The dewalt wasnt a diode? It was just a bad connector?
@@connahjones8178 Did it flash the diode there was something wrong? Also I dont say what the fix is, so people can watch themselves and not spoil it.
I find these videos so relaxing for some reason, I guess everyone like to watch someone else who knows what hey are going work
It is a pleasure and intriguing to watch a pro do his thing.
I dont know about you but I use to take things apart as a kid I mean all of my toys all of then alot of them never went back together which is a shame cause they were first gen power Rangers zords and power Rangers figures along with street sharks ..

Yep I have been binge watching and the Wife wants me to do other things.
I told her when I am through, I am relaxing right now
😁😁😁
So you are the Louis Rossman of tool repair. While I dont need to repair my tools, I'm glad to learn through your videos!
Nice job Dean. Pool by forward to the next video

The perfect start to a Sunday morning.
You inspired me to bid on defective dewalt tools to get for cheap and repair! I use to get them used for cheap now i can get them even cheaper!
You will be suprized at how many are a simple snd cheap fix
I like your straight talking style keeping us informed along the way. With all your knowledge, you should be the tool design engineer.
Thanks for the bearing tutorial. Nice video.
That’s a cool wiha interchangeable set you have, I like their tools

Nice video Dean. Nice job. I had to watch it in 2 patrs. Had stuff to do in the shop.

Really good content in all the videos you post Dean absolutely amazing and very interesting thanks
Another great video Dean .
18:47 planned obsolence, it would cost the manufacturer 1 buck more to seal the PCB with resin but nope.
Was showing my boss your videos dean now he knows why Im sleeping in for work just cant get enough of the videos mate,iv musta seen most of them twice while waiting on the next one 😂
Thanks 👍
I donno why but Milwaukee tools feels like toys, temporary toys. They just don't give me the secure feeling that old tools used to have.

@deandohertygreaser that's awesome brother, thanks for the info. You are clearly very talented
Hi Dean. Looks like you were more of a sparks today! Not only can you fix all the mechanical stuff, but you also know all about what makes them tick!! Is there anything you CAN'T fix??!?
Thanks for the fireworks display with that trend router
Nice one, spotting the bad connectors in the DeWalt nail gun, that's not an easy thing to find.

Thanks for the repairs again, I guess more and more people in Ireland have noticed your channel and decided to sent in their machines to have them featured in a vid of yours 👍
Would it be worth opening up new Bosch cheepo tools and potting the controller board yourself? Sort of preventative maintenance.
What are SKF bearings like, any good? Also what grease do you use, for example in the grinder? I have heard you mention Bosch grease at some point? Would be interesting with a video on grease if there are different greases you use for different parts of tools etc if there is enough to have a video on it.
Love the "clicks and ticks" when you reassemble the tool. Fantastic videos, keep it up. What type of film set up do you use?
You forgot 4 Screws at the end by the Makita 9” grinder.
I thought that too.
Hi Dean, just to let you know, I bought a Wiha system 6 set from Amazon, and the quality is fantastic. However, the set is still incomplete even after 3 replacement orders bits are still missing. I've found Amazon is not the place to buy Wiha products

Loving videos mate my Makita 18 v rip snorter playing up still working just! But you have to slide battery in and out for it spin is it worth fixing?
Which chemistry do you use for cleaning the instruments ??
If you are asking about parts washer, then its kerosene. For things like buttons/switches Dean use contact cleaner.
@@michaelfairchild Thanks for the answer, was wondering the same!
Oh yeah baby.
Dean põe legendas pra nós do Brazil
Which drive-loc wiha kit is that? Never seen them in a hard case...
Dean I have had a couple of DeWalt brushless circular saws come in not powering up but if you twist the blade slightly it will work perfect and keep working until the blade stops again I can leave it run till it nearly stops and press the trigger and it will go perfect but soon as I leave it come to a complete stop Blade has to be twisted again for it to work have you ever seen this before if you could reply would be great help thanks
Would some De-Oxit possibly bring that Bosch board back to life with the green corrosion?
Going to have to get you an apprentice to keep up lol. Let him cut his teeth on the new stuff
Rare to see an angle grinder last long enough for all the bearings and the gears to be worn out while the machine is still in good condition otherwise.
what do you use for cleaner in your parts washer?
He use kerosene.
Hi Do you ever get in Ryobi tools for repairs???
the old blue ryobi yes, the new modern yellow ryobi is not repairable as they have to parts available for them.
Hie how much to repair Grider
im a chef and I love them happy times. what are you using in your parts washer
what liquid do you use to wash such greasy parts 5:44
Kerosene
Blasphemy-- wet environment? In Ireland?

Where can i buy spareparts like you get? I live in Sweden.
Trend was associated with good router bits at one time so why make a crap machine I always stay away from Chinese copies
