In this video we're going to be looking at a faulty Milwaukee Hole Hawg Drill. When the battery is put in and you press the button all it does it make a slight click from inside, and doesn't turn. Let's take it apart, try and diagnose what's wrong with it, and hopefully repair it!

I went down the rabbit hole trying to figure out if Milwaukee owned the Torx company (or at least the Torx screwdriver company) and discovered that the company that invented the Torx screw head, Textron, started out as a manufacturer of synthetic yarn! That led them to parachutes and eventually aviation. The screws started out on Cessnas.

Just a tip for getting to the numbers on the chips that are coated like that. I found ACETONE breaks that coating down very well, as it does my daughters nail polish!! LOL. I let it sit for a beer or two, then begin to scrape the chip with an old credit card that has been ground down to act as a scraper. That helps with not destroying the lazer etching. Then I switch to 99% ipa for a few wipes, then smear whiteout over the number, let it dry for a few seconds only, then smear my finger over it until I begin to see numbers, and if there is a number? you will see it with the correct light deflection and the microscope my friend. Hope this helps. Keep the great videos coming please.

@andygardiner6526 7 месяцев назад

The right to repair in the US seems to have caused the manufacturers to supply many parts as major subassemblies. In many cases Milwalkee (for example) will not supply a simple battery connector - you have to buy it with the switch, stator and motor controller as an assembly which makes an out of warranty repair uneconomic ... technically fixable just uneconomic to do so.

@BuyitFixit 7 месяцев назад

@BuyitFixit 6 месяцев назад

Sounds like a problem on the control board. There is a processor on there that should have 3.3V when power is connected. I did do a video on a nail gun but it was a different issue to the one that you have.

@smbrob 7 месяцев назад

@BuyitFixit 7 месяцев назад

@rossxxxx 6 месяцев назад

Just a thought that any ball bearing in that sort of environment would be greased not oiled, and putting three in one on it would just dilute the grease making the bearing looser and more noisy ending in failure. And there's no magic in BLDC control chips, and the Hall effects inputs are probably pretty standard. Just have to work out if the speed control is analogue or PWM and get one of the thousands of controllers available. Of course you have to also get a programming board (AUD$30-40) and a bit of free software to match input from switch with speed of mosfet firing. Still be cheaper, and more fun, than just shelling out the AUD$500 plus for a new skin. Keep up the good work. Love the concision and lack of intrusive music.

@snafu2350 6 месяцев назад

..however, if the bearing was already failing, there's little point in being finicky with it as it has no bearing (hah!) on the immediate fix. If this was a full refurb job then fine, but for this just to get the m/c working again for a bit, no, IMO

@BuyitFixit 6 месяцев назад

First of all thanks for the support. The BLDC controller in these tools does more than just control the motor. It also monitors the battery, as there is no over discharge protection in the Milwaukee batteries, it is all done in the tool. So the microcontroller won't allow the motor to try and run if the battery is too low. It also controls things such as the front LED when the trigger is pressed, and monitors the battery temperature. This is why it's a microcontroller containing firmware with a BLDC pre-driver. It takes the inputs from the hall effect transistors which are pretty standard as you say. I had thought about creating a replacement open source board, as the circular saws are very prone to failure.

@BuyitFixit 6 месяцев назад

"No bearing on it" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍

@mondotv4216 2 месяца назад

Tip - when you're pulling those boards off the motor just mark one of the sides of the board and motor housing with a chinagraph or a permanent marker or even electrical tape so you get the orientation right.

@BuyitFixit 2 месяца назад

Yes, lesson learned from this one. I did exactly that in a more recent video on the Kenwood mixer I looked at 👍

@Hellhound604 7 месяцев назад

Hate those BLDC motors… if the controller fails, next to impossible to get hold of the controller chips, esp. if the motor is 10 years or older….🤬🤬🤬

@BuyitFixit 7 месяцев назад

Yeah, they are a lot more common now as they provide more torque and more energy efficiency in a smaller motor than a standard brushed motor.

@cormaclogan7250 6 месяцев назад

I have a sawzall that seems to be the same board and the resistor at C32 burnt up! Just wondering where I can find the spec for these and where to buy them if you could help? Love your videos keep them going

@BuyitFixit 6 месяцев назад

I did look at one of those a while back. If it's the same model as you might be able to see what part it is. C denotes capacitor not resistor, so it sounds like a capacitor has failed. Usually it's not a huge issue unless it has shorted in which case remove it and see what happens.

@chrisbartlett6022 6 месяцев назад

@elektro-peter1954 6 месяцев назад

I noticed one thing while you were checking the FETs: You only checked G-S and G-D. In my experience you also need to check D-S because I have seen enough broken Mosfets where D-S was shorted and the gate was still high impedance. I typically only check G-S and D-S by the way, I can't recall ever seing any FETs where G-D was shorted without all three terminals just being compeltely shorted together.

@BuyitFixit 6 месяцев назад

I didn't have the Datasheet at hand, so couldn't remember which pin was which at the time, apart from the gate pin. Normally I'd check the S-D pins too but most of the failures I've seen on these is either the mosfet is competely shorted or exploded.

@BuyitFixit 6 месяцев назад

I've had this problem on a number of tools. I think if the tool jams or if it's had too much pressure on it, they can blow. Sometimes it takes the control chip out too if it goes short and sends 18v down the gate line into the IC.

Hi. Love this channel. I have a question. I have an M18 Fuel 3/4 drive impact gun. It suddenly stopped working. The led comes on, and the motor starts for maybe half a revolution and stops. I have it apart. I'd say the motor board is identical to the one here. So, none of the mosfets show a short, neither do the caps. The resistors seem ok as well. Do you think it might be the hall effect sensors? And do you have a vid where you have done those? Fingers crossed it's not the main board, as it's an expensive tool. I'm just a little out of my comfort zone with the hall effect stuff. Thanks, whether you answer or not.

@BuyitFixit 6 месяцев назад

Nice fix. Replacing the blown mosfet was probably cheaper than replacing the whole tool.

@BuyitFixit 7 месяцев назад

Thanks 👍A new tool is around £250-£350 the mosfet was around £3

Nice video as always.. I wonder if that thing would still work if you only cut off the legs of the broken MOSFET. Sure only 5/6 phases would work but the thing would still be usable? No?

@BuyitFixit 7 месяцев назад

Thanks 👍No it wouldn't work as there are 3 coils, so you would be missing a 3rd of the rotation. If you span it by hand fast enough they do run, but as soon as you put any load on it, it would just stop. I had an SDS drill like that which kind of worked but not properly, until I fixed it 🙂

Its nice that the controller knows a mosfet is shorted and won't destroy the rest of the fets when someone attempts to use it again.

@BuyitFixit 7 месяцев назад

Yes they have current sensing resistors on the back of the motor board, although I have had it where 4 mosfets were shorted on saw and it had sent 18v down the ribbon cable and fried the motor controller chip.

Suggestion: you and other electronics fixers on YT do collab with TronixFix (and maybe his wife) owing to his current health situation.

@@BuyitFixit Check his blog and latest video. Lymphoma - undergoing chemo, but soldiering on with creating content. He may not be able to do so with regularity and he says his wife may step in. I thought it would be great if the fixit community lent him a helping hand and some support.

@@BuyitFixit Reach out to your peers here and see if you can get together and do it in a coordinated way. I've put comments on StezStixFix, My Mate Vince and several others to get their attention. Hopefully you can all pull something off together (assuming TronixFix is open to the idea).
