Rage-Fixing a Broken Drill 

I just felled in love with the term "percussive maintenance"! I will henceforth appropriate it for future use of the working class XD Like "This Landlord is in dire need of some percussive maintenance in his wetware mainframe" (for a finer way to say "Give him a quick smack with a Hammer to the noggins! That rent-seeking Bas…d!) or "He couldn't fix that bug in the code, so He used the Desk for some percussive maintenance of his head-space"(a finer way of saying… you know it, don't you xD)

That's the wrong tool for concrete anyway. He should use a pneumatic hammer drill with SDS drill bits.

​@@DrHouse-zs9eb but then he wouldn't have $150 in his back pocket

A DeWalt impact driver has been sitting right next to me for days, waiting for me to look up what is wrong with it. Then this video pops up. It's a different tool, but the problem seems like it could be just about the same - it goes slow, then faster, then slower, etc.

hahaha same here! I thought he was going to short some leads together trying to connect the drill to the battery

A generation of people taught by corporations to throw their stuff away instead of repairing. Not only a dad moment, but a wise eco-friendly moment too.

😂😂😂😂

@@wetenschap123 i mean given modern stuff is junk out of the box and utterly irreparable, it's less "being taught" and more "being forced" by corporations

​@@wetenschap123 tbf, this drill is something that is actually repairable, only involving broken wires. Good luck replacing a part. If it has a circuit board only someone like Medhi would have the tools and the knowledge. Most people would love to repair, but usually isn't viable.

Romans 10:9-13 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

@@Barten0071 The systematic way he investigated, found the issue and resolved it. Critical thinking allows you to see through the trademark silliness and actually get his point...

No, that will last forever! Use thinner wires!

He likely drilled a slightly smaller hole beforehand, to make sure the drill doesn't push through his hand. He's not stupid.

@@AlexBesogonovSo being stupid is the key to confidence..? To the stupid mines I go then!

@@joeburrows6 He posted it earlier for his Patreon supporters.

Depends, really. Sometimes, yes, it being broken is already the worst-case scenario and you can't really make it worse. Other times, you can burn the whole house down, or kill or injure yourself during the repair attempt if you're careless or inexperienced. And sometimes you actually manage to repair the thing, but make it unsafe to use in the process, and might injure or kill someone else who uses it unaware of the botch job you did. When I repair stuff, I always take safety into account. And when something can't be fixed properly, or at least, not by me, I just leave it and either bring it in for repair, or buy a new one if necessary. Contrast that to my dad, who will "repair" ladders where the safety features have failed, by pop-riveting some thin sheets of aluminium of an unknown grade to keep everything together. At 75, he'd still rather balance on rickety ladders with compromised structural integrity than spend money on a new one.

This lady I work with does a lot of arts and crafts and her laminator machine (or whatever the hell it was, idk) got parchment paper stuck in it. I tried taking it apart to fix it, when that didn’t work, I suggested just grabbing an extension cord, hooking it up outside and then waiting until the parchment paper burned away. She didn’t do the last part, but I don’t think it would’ve broken it any more than it already was. Plus, I wanted to see a cool fire in the parking lot… oh well.

My thing is that you always know there's a line where if you mess up nobody can fix it but if you stop now somebody could probably fix it.

I always take one wild swing at fixing something before it goes in the trash, unless it's broken in an obvious way I definitely can't fix.

@@DudeRandom You know... I thought it was all jokes till that happened. Now I have to wonder how often they're jokes for kicks and how much of it is legit "oh shit" moments.

The Boom is Mehdi shouting when he drills into his hand🤣

Bro almost drilled his hand 😂

ElectroLAME… aside from the absolute pucker factor watching him almost drill into his hand. That part scared me, but I know he’s smart enough to set things up in such a way that he won’t actually hurt himself… I think.

@@BigZ-il5hg He also blew up the world. 9:06 Twice.

No, the boom is the sound our minds make being blown when we see him able to fix it. And the little bit of information he teaches us in this video. LOL. 💥

I'm pretty sure he made that on purpose, he is known for this stuff. I bet he had a pre-drilled but not totally finished hole in there to guide the tip, so we see the rest of the drilling and think he made a full drill, then he just had to make sure his hand was not exactly on the pre known hole exit on the other side but still close enough for dramatic effect.

fr

Pretty high bar, but I feel like that is the most scared ive seen him :P almost seemed real..

Yes, you can see him lining up the drill bit with the pre-drilled hole.

Mehdi is super smart. I don't think he's made any genuine mistakes. This guy meticulously plans out his videos and delivers to perfection every time for our education and entertainment.

😂 Jesus is calling you today. Come to him, repent from your sins, bear his cross and live the victorious life

Unfortunately, most homegamers don't want to spend that kind of money on tools they'll only use every once in a while. That's why the market is flooded with cheap ones that last a couple of years under light/infrequent use. I don't like the mentality either; I prefer quality tools because not only do they last longer and work more reliably, they usually also feel a lot better in the hand, are more ergonomic and less fatiguing/painful, and a joy to work with. But I get where someone's coming from when they tell me they rather just replace their old drill when broken because they can get 3-5 of those for the price of one "good" one.

@@EvenTheDogAgreesThank you for not referring to DeWalt as quality tools LOL. Only good at the top tier of price.

​@@EvenTheDogAgreesproblem with expensive tool is that they'll get babied. it's like that nice expensive tea cup, it'll never see the light of day except for few special occasion. unless it's company's inventory, I'll just settle with cheap tools that can do its job well.

These higher standards are basically the requirement for that. (which kind of is what the EU currently does with manufacturers being required to provide spare parts for 10 years after last sale; "right-to-repair rule". Also true for the US that are doing some right-to-repair stuff too.) Because from my experience (and independent tests) it's not possible to generalize "higher cost item equals higher quality" and it's quite often the other way around. So basically impossible to know who build it to last and who did it for the quick buck. Besides "every" product can break for unforeseen / rare reasons. And even businesses like sennheiser which are known for their high sound quality products produce cheap (as in money) products that are basically worse than any noname or chinese knock-off. Every product has to be evaluated independently. Which is why I hate buying new things.. way too much time and research required because the last you should trust is a corporation or seller.. (there are exceptions but most do everything for more profit, especially every public corporation) Sadly reviews are not necessary the best solution.. as there are lots of hidden gems that are basically no-name, cheap and yet work surprisingly good but also usually not tested at all. And reviews can obviously only test products as is, not after 4+ years of use... especially since the product would have been replaced by 2 newer and "better" versions by that time and not sold anymore. I wouldn't mind forcing longer warranties, penalties for failing products etc. Also, I would allow exceptions like if the manufacturer or seller claims prominently, highly visible on the packaging: "this product sucks, we don't allow full warranty" to have it their way if they want to cheap out. Basically like an "this product is alpha / untested" label so that small businesses and startups can still sell their stuff without fearing to go bankrupt. While serious competitors or solid products won't need it and have to offer long warranties and maybe penalties for failures (like compensating consumers for failures, lost time debugging the issue and so forth). So you can see which company actually trusts their own product. TL;DL: can't go by price, can't trust brands, pick "whatever" and hope for the best or spend lots of time researching to still hope for the best in the end (with higher success?), humans (public corporations) are greedy and cheap out on parts for more short-term profit, always short-term thinking, ruling by nations are basically required to force corporations to build longer lasting stuff...

@@doughboi2346 She thought i performed some magic tricks, even when i spilled the secrets and told her exactly what i did and that it took no effort at all she still thinks im a magician for fixing it. LOL

It was the same for me, fixing a 10$ kitchen scale, by open it up and soldering a new 10 cents push button switch. My wife looked at me like I’m some kind of a sorcerer. Ya it’s only a 10$ scale, but…

My wife also used to think i had some magical ability because i'd fix tons of simple things. Unfortunately, having the entire wiring harness of our family car currently decorating the garage to try and find the fault has convinced her otherwise...

Thank you for your comment, I was about to write the same thing!

Yup, I tried a multifunction drill and gave up right quick. Got a nice Bosch hammer/rotary drill. Sometimes a one function tool is worth it, even if you don't need it all the time.

Aint nothing like a SDS max punching through rebar like it's flesh. Meanwhile Mr "My drill has a hammer switch" is literally on fire.

I see a lot of recommendations for rotary hammers. I’ve got one recently and while it’s much faster I find it much less precise when I’am trying to drill some 6mm mounting holes. I had to start the holes with a regular cordless drill and only then go deeper with the rotary hammer. And at that stage I realized that 6x40mm holes don’t take that long with a regular (non sds) hammer drill and I can just get the job done with a single tool.

how different it is compared to an impact drill? or is it just the same thing but with a fancier name?

Same!

He’s teaching more people how to use their brains. Trial-and-error can be applied to any field, plus he throws in a lot of entertainment to keep people satiated.

I had to look that up. Cool stuff. I knew of those hand brace drills and egg-beater style drills that were manually powered, but never heard of this one.

How intractable.

hahaha same here😂

No hammer setting i take it?

I thought before he fully mentioned it, that the sensors were used to find the speed or location of the motor. Like a rotary encoder.

I bet he hasn't charged it since he started the channel

@@polishtimmy505 then it must be the worlds most energy-dense battery

i think its more of a 0v battery now

The problem he is facing is the age old problem everybode has to deal with who is working with a lathe or a milling machine.

Yes, practically impossible! But maybe it's only conglomerate concrete! I really doubt that he can drill with that "toy" reinforced or vibrated concrete!

​@@MyNotSoHumbleOpinionwith one of these non-SDS drills with a hammer function that a home gamer is gonna be using its fine, we're usually just getting through concrete block or floor and I've never had any trouble honestly. Sds is much faster but of course it is.

If you were going through an entire masonry wall you'd want an SDS drill yeah. If you're just drilling a small hole into a concrete wall to hang a picture frame for example, these are absolutely fine on hammer mode.

This. Also, buy Makita... 😊

Not a problem for a Boomer, maybe a big deal for a Gen Z snowflake while Gen aplha just order a hole from Temu what do you think all the holes were drilled with before SDS?

i know Mehdi is not that dumb to drill straight into his hand without some sort of protection, he acts dumb, but hes not THAT dumb. So the moment he was about to drill, i started thinking how he could have done it. The best way i can come up is: drill a pilot hole first, then on the drill side of the pilot hole, drill a hole halfway to put a pvc pipe as a guide to make sure the bit doesnt wonder in the wood. Then, place the hand close to the pilot hole on the other side of the wood before sending the drill bits through it.

​@acrazydurian probably. only time he did something dangerously that i know of is jacobs ladder

okay?

Very wise

Very likely

Remember to test is by drilling towards your unprotected hand through a block of wood first.

Always the 2 taps

I hope he had a pilot hole to pull off that joke :)

He didn't have a drill bit in the chuck. So it was safe to do

@@daveb8598 Probably considering it doesn't look like a wood drill bit, would require much more force and throw chips all over the place

@@subzero_deegres That is very weird. Usually he would use a metal drill bit. LOL

@@gizmowizard352 in the beginning he did have a drill bit in the chuck

Yeah, you need to watch that "Jacob's Ladder" video 👀

Does it have a straw spray nozzle? That’ll make it a little bit easier if you didn’t apply it already 👍✨

Don't use wd40 as such a lubricant. WD40 can dissolve proper lubricant and evaporates. Instead remove the door and use proper grease.

WD40 is not a lubricant, it's a cleaner

​@@siedenburg1doors should generally use a dry lubricant, grease picks up dust and they're not sealed. I use houdini lock lube but it's expensive.

Well then learn. Knowing how to be handy is extremely useful
