These 3 boxes of tools arrived last week from 3 different customers.
I've been putting this job off for too long, but now to get stuck in and get them checked over and of the floor.
It's funny, some days, you get through hardly any tools, but everything gets fixed. Others, you get through loads of tools, but it feels like nothing got fixed.
Only a few in this lot were worth fixing. The rest were simply not worth fixing, and it would be cheaper to replace in the long run.
As for batteries, this is a good representation as to how many get fixed. 9 times out of 10, batters are not worth fixing.
You have to remember, even if you swap cells over, you still end up with a battery with old worn-out cells inside. You are simply paying a lot of labour for something that is going to eventually fail again.
Best advice for batteries is only to fix simple problems. If the board or cells die, replace the battery with another genuine one. It will save you money in the long run.

Ya need a donate box for some of the dead stuff. Plenty of weekend DIYers would play the battery cell swap. Obviously not cost effective for professionals but DIYers would love that stuff and to pull apart dead gear to "understand" how it works. Best thing I've learnt from watching is the business case you put for company provided tools being brushless. Your vids offer Value at every turn.

Brutal honest assessment of the economics of whether to repair or not. If it is ‘brushed’ and it’s an overheated armature scrap it, if it’s ‘brushless’ with a blown circuit board scrap it and if it’s dead cell in a battery scrap it.

@@dojostarfox4520 Repair Cafe is a movement for repairing things and avoiding chucking them away. We volunteers meet monthly at a local venue and members of the public bring along stuff that needs fixing - electronics, clothes, jewellery, computers, phones, garden machinery etc. We don't charge for the repair, but hope they leave a small donation. We then donate the money to local charities.

@KiwiCatherineJemma 5 месяцев назад

@@Jueyes-vg2gb Thanks for your question, we sometimes forget that even having the English Language in common, there is quite an amount of cultural difference among several Westernised Countries. Often people of retirement age, already receiving a, "Old Age Pension" of some kind, enough to pay their daily costs, will volunteer their efforts for a few hours a day, for a few days a week. (mostly men) may spend time at a "Repair Cafe" or a "Menz Shed" keeping busy in their retirement years, while "giving back" to the community. That is why they do it for free instead of being paid. A small donation towards costs like Drill-bits and Hacksaw Blades, might be appreciated. Sometimes space for such initiatives is provided free by a church or local city/town council community hall. Similarly (mostly women) may choose to volunteer at a Charity Shop (often connected to a church) where they sort donated clothes and household items for sale, and staff the shop, on a volunteer basis. Funds raised go to a church connected charity. Here in New Zealand there are a number of "Menz Sheds". They're often equipped with machines and handtools for Woodworking, Metalworking, and fixing simple faults in Electrical Appliances. The volunteers have often had a lifetime of experience in a related trade field.

@chippyminton8711 5 месяцев назад

@@Jueyes-vg2gb There are many repair cafes across the UK where volunteers repair different items free of charge to keep items from landfill if possible, we also have Mens Sheds where maybe retired folk do small jobs within the community to help others, it may be something simple like making bird boxes for a woodland project , repairing tables and chairs for a group short on funds. Not everyone has this attitude you get nowt for free, it's a disease of the capitalist system, many electrical items are made to fail ( built in obsolescence), no small wonder there are so many electrical items that are sealed and unrepairable. This attitude needs to change and we need to take a step back to the 70s when nearly all electrical goods were able to be repaired instead of thrown away and replaced !!

@Garth2011 6 месяцев назад

Very true on many of the hand power tools that are cordless. The deciding factor is to figure in the replacement cost of a new tool w/ the battery mainly because the battery is usually more expensive than the tool itself. So, if batteries are gone as well, fixing the tool may not be much value when the tool and battery are sold together for much less than tool or battery only.

Yes, a disturbing thing to see the screws and other parts tossed around willi-nilli, no concern for keeping order. Having the fully understood system to know the individual parts and their best order of return to their proper place. Very cool. But it’s like anything else that has been done enough times, it’s just a matter of knowing your processes.

@@emanuelmifsud6754 yup, the long ones only work in the long holes etc. still, seeing the guts being thrown about makes me cringe. These are fascinating videos to watch. Learning something new every day. I’ve had people ask why I vacuum my orbital sander seemingly every use, my answer is simple. The dust particles can get anywhere, and since the vacuum is still running anyway, it’s easier to keep it out if I don’t let it accumulate. A bit fussy, but I only enjoy buying the tool the first time. Even that can be a tad annoying, unless I’m buying it for a project that pays for it immediately and it’s something I want to buy. I keep my car engine compartment clean for the same reason, it’s nicer to work on a cleaner machine than a filthy one

@emanuelmifsud6754 5 месяцев назад

@@STV-H4H I repair powertools not as a business for myself generally. How he works we can easily shows better methods of work. I am like you, the workmanship to make the tool should be respected. I certainly do not throw parts around willy nilly and would never demonstrate that to anyone. He knows his stuff. 95% of repairs are bearings, brushes, switch, or electrical lead. Rarely every circuit board. Also nearly all repairs are due to wear, corrosion, tool neglect/ abuse, and occasionally wrong manufacturing.
