Jesus Dean , your knowledge is on a different level with these tool repairs . These videos are excellent to watch . Manufacturers should listen to you as well 👌👌👌👌
Dean your videos are inspiring me to fix all my broken tools in the shed.ive kept them all in the hope of one day fixing them .just cant get the time or the peace to do it 😂😂.class work
This guy is just the master, can’t get enough of the vids, just Rip them apart and dump it all on the bench then somehow it’s put back together, baffles me
This is the first 100% fixer I've seen you have. It was rewarding to watch so I can only imagine how it is to accomplish something like that. Must be a great phone call to make especially how cheap the final bill is. No expensive parts used, just expertise.
Nice fixes again! I'm still amazed though how heaps of your repairs come in without any description on what's wrong with them. Ofcourse some of them are obvious, but the ones like that Dewalt SDS drill where it's losing power over time are a lot harder to diagnose with just a quick test and not knowing why the customer sent it in.
Not many of your calibre of not only knowledge but trying to keep the cost down for your customers that is key to many people getting ripped off because we don’t know much respect dean a man after my own heart and it’s better than the telly hehe
Great video brother. Love the fact you show the the part costs so we can guage the price difference between fixing and replacing. Just curious how the business side of it works as well. Do you charge by the fix or is there a flat rate? Wouldn't mind seeing some tools you would deem a no-fix based on cost. Cheers
Always a pleasure to look at the work of a skilled repair guy. My I ask you for a tip? My makita DBN500 suddenly have less power, the pins no longer driven down in a hardwood 15mm glassing beat.
Hey Dean, I love the videos! Question - Has the quality of Makita gone downhill since they started producing them in China? To the point that it puts them on par with every other major brand, such as DeWalt, Milwaukee, etc.
To an extent, yes. they are never going to last as long at they use to. But unlike a lot of other brands, makita sell a lot of parts seperatly, so they can be maintained and kept going for years if you want to repair them.
Me on the other hand, still stuck with 4 almost stripped screws on my worcraft reciprocating saw trying to find out why it died only after a few runs 😂
Tools fixed in this video: 1:22 Makita DHP482 drill | Fault: Problem with starting 4:47 DeWalt DCH253 SDS Drill | Fault: Motor losing power (according to owner) 17:40 DeWalt DCN692 (Type 2) nailer | Fault: Not firing 30:16 DeWalt DCD1196 Drill | Fault: Stuck in hammer mode 52:25 Alfra EHR23/2 (possibly) concrete mixer Cheers to Dean for telling model number, rather than me doing some CSI investigations.
@@mickymeltdown Sorry mate, Im not Dean, nor I am associated with him. Just average bloke who post this timestamps and model name, if someone has this model and same problem, so he can try to fix it himself.
I am on the market for a cordless drill, and I was about to get a Milwaukee M18 Fuel, but thank God I found your channel and watched few of your videos about talking that brand. I am now considering Makita or Dewalt but leaning towards the Makit 40V. Can I ask can you if you can recommend a better brand, because now I will get the drill but in the future I would probably get more tools and I want them to be on the same platform.
What brand of tools would you say is most likely to break. It seems from your videos it'd be DeWalt first and Milwaukee second but those are also the most commonly bought brands in the UK. What is your opinion on this?
Been watching the channel for a few months now and I haven't seen any multitool failures. I'm looking to buy the 18v dewalt multitool as I'm on the platform, is it any good? I can get the solo tool for about 140eur, DCS356. Cheers from Greece.
Hi Dean ,fantastic jobs ! I am following you whenever I have to sharpen my attention when occasionally I repair my tools . I have a GBH 4 DFE | 0 611 236 703 and somehow after ordering parts for servicing the hammer ,watching your video more than 5-6 times I finally succed to put all together but unfortunately did not work the hammer mode , open again and find out that the Pos 830 - Aandrijflager 1 615 819 022 the outer ring of the bearing was broken. In The Netherlands and probably all over is no more in stock ; And now my question : is it possible to have that part and in case yes , would you like to sell it to me ? The point is I have spent more than 100 euro on parts and now I have to fix the problem ,otherwise is a waste of time and money . Anyway , either cases I am your fan in repairing tools section !
