Fixing my old drill as its letting out smoke! 

Thought I’d mention when you said it had loads of brush left the issue was the dirt it’s the same with dewalt mine what I thought needed brushes turned out to be clogged with sh•t basically oil and god knows what but after a clean it works as good as new if you would have cleaned that motor/brushed motor you would have saved a bit of money as it looked like it only needed a quick clean and it seemed to have quite a bit of power in it hope you kept it as a spare incase it is needed in future anyway nice vid I’ve liked and subscribed

Salut Bonne vidéo. peux-tu me dire où est-ce que tu as acheté le moteur

Just what I needed, I could not find where the little spring went, Thank you for enlightening me.

Thank you so much! With your help I just revived my drill, she's special to me for she's the first of many tools I bought. I hope she'll stick with me for another 8 years!

My big wired drill started to smoke. Cant find a repair video for it. Dont know what to do. And it dont have nobody in my country trinidad that repairs drill. Heck its hard to get any dc motors to buy in my .country.

Thanks, that small metal clip/spring fell out of mine and i didn't know where it went. Do now.

Nice one ...can I ask .... how much and where you ordered the replacement motor from ....thanks

I would have greased it as well.

So it loooks like on this model, you cant just renew the brushes as they seem to be built in.

I've knackered my festool impact driver... She's started sparkling and smoking after 6/7 years of solid service😢

In the old days we used makita drills with the old long NIcd batteries. Those drills shut of when overheated. It seems that makita does not build in a temperature switch. From video's i've seen the brushless drills do not smoke as fast as the ones with a brush motor.

Thanks for the video. I just bought a MAKITA from my local Cashconverter. Was a bargain at 37€ with case + 2batteries. Bearings seem a shade wobbly - but maybe i can sort that out. i was able to compare it´s spin speed to your´s at the end of the video. Almost an E note so must be right. Time to play some `POUNDCAKE Van Halen. ! Cheers from Spain

My Makita 18V DUB182Z wirings melted and smokes. But there no videos or articles on what wire size AWG to be used for replacement. Any advice?

you also needed to clean the mechanism for gearbox. but the video is great

Just had same go on mine and no easy way to access the brushes even then, As you implied with all the dirt inside, it could also be the windings too so safest bet is to replace the motor. Wondering how to keep the dirt out from now on to prevent repeat occurance as it packed up on ly after about 3 years of light use.

Good job...you must have heard me yelling about the leaf spring.

Very good! Thank you

Can SEE WHY THERE'S NO COMMENTS

Really enjoyed this. Cheers
