What makes this so satisfying is the electronic skill set you have. Most of us could do the tool restoration to varying degrees. But not many, myself included, have the ability to build a rechargeable battery from scratch. Very impressive.
Masterfully done. I'm a pretty good DIY guy, but I don't have the skillset to build a battery pack from scratch. Your knowledge of restoration and electronics is impressive.
But doesn't has the same feeling like this one ..,it's indeed different pleasure to rebuilt it with your hands...like to build your own House from the scratch..👍
Funny, I just came in from my backyard shop where I was refurbishing a DeWalt D28402 angle grinder. Everything seems pretty good with it so far, but I ordered two new brushes for it. And this video pops up for me to watch. Amazing what you can do with what looks like total junk if you are willing to clean such power tools up... Thumbs Up!
Hi, this kind of excellence is outstanding and very hard to find, this was done with pride and confidence and it works like new, very impressive video keep up your excellent quality work, ty, Bob,
Beautiful work! You should hit up the guys over at torque test channel and see if they’ll give it a few runs on their rig. I’m sure you’d get a shout out on their video if the decided to do it.
Curious how the yellow paint on the plastic held up. Seems a cleaner better restore would be ~$25 new clamshells. Also a better idea to modernize by getting 18v tool to 20vMax battery adapter rather than battery and charger bastardization. But I get it, for the sake of it for the video. Just not practical for future use. Plus what did that give you a 3ah battery when an adapter will leave you way more options. Cool ideas though. Nice resto work.
What you are doing a great job, but if you polish the cores, then the lamination is being destroyed, which is there to stop reduce eddy current, will affect the efficiency, eventually will affect the windings also
