Repairing a Bosch GBH 7 DE Hammer, 22 years old and worn out. But can it still be fixed? 

I love the longer format videos (30 mins plus)! The type doesn't really matter, the box full of tool and these more in-depth on one tool, they are all good! Happy Holidays!

We do new construction and remodeling and the meatheads beat the living hell out of the tools, so the owner and me spend a lot of beers in the evening repairing and maintaining the equipment, your channel has helped a lot Dean. Thank you.

I love the long videos with only one machine to be repaired. I like all the details with part numbers for parts and grease. Very helpful ! Soon i’m going to give my old Bosch GSH 5 CE a small service with new o-rings, grease and brushes 🙂 I don’t know why but you repairing Bosch hammers is my absolute favourites 🙂

I enjoy your problem solving skills, and your expert knowledge. It's impressive how you know how everything works, and immediately spot what's no good. The mix between buckets of tools and in depth jobs is a good balance.

Both formats are good but like the longer on one tool better as you explain and show all the details with tips on diagnosis

I have an older and larger machine,used to break concrete off fence posts. Amazing engineering goes into these! Have been repairing my own tools since 2004,but always ready to learn more. Despite owning 6 sds-max,have been scared to open them up. My oldest definitely needs a cleaning and re-grease. I prefer the more in depth single posts personally. Thanks and merry Christmas!

I like both the long single repair and the multiple unit repair videos

Absolutely amazing how this machine came back from the brink. Just goes to show how a quality machine will last, even when it's been abused.

These videos are my new favourites top man can repair any tool or appliance 👍

I like both the longer detailed video like this when dealing with a single machine and also the "grab bag" mix of tools with quick fixes. So I'd vote for continuing with a combination of the two. You're great at explaining what you're doing and why in both sorts, and that's a great help to the rest of us to learn from a tool repair master.

I love the way you just toss the parts 😂 Clearly know how they go back together. Fair play 👍🏻

I really appreciate the way you show the understanding and empathy you have for your customers- You really get how sometimes machine sympathy takes second place to putting food on the table. You are the most down to earth and sensible u tuber I know, long may you prosper. As to preference, This one was perfect for me.

Love your videos, I like the longer videos anyway, no matter if it's a one machine or multiple.

That rag pileup is a fire hazard! A shop locally burned down, they found via cctv that a can of rag’s spontaneously combusted

Longer the better Dean, could listen to you for hours. You're so informative on every item you do, never a dull moment. You're very underrated I don't see why you don't have a larger following. Can't get enough, keep them videos flooding in. All the best for the festive period to you and yours Dean and may the New Year bring plenty more subs/viewers 💪

Commenting for the algorithm, awesome repair Dean! I like both kinds of videos - sorry if that doesn’t help, but I’ll either watch these longer ones at the end of my day when my own repairs fail (I watch yours to get some motivation that eventually whatever I’m working on will be fixed), or I’ll watch your sprint fix videos during lunch for motivation to continue pushing through the day when I have limited time and know I can switch off without missing where I’m at Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺👍

👍👍 Old is gold.

I don't mind too much if it's many tools per video or just one, so long as the detail and information is there I don't mind the package too much. Doing a bit of both video types would have my vote. I used to be a network technician (technically still am but it's like 10% of work time if that now as the network just works fine), then I started repairing PCs along with that. Then the coffee maker. Then the dishwasher. Now I'm doing power tools at home as a hobby and a way to afford tools way out of my price range, broken costs not much it turns out and so many just get tossed over a bearing being dead it blows my mind. And while I could have and did figure out those repairs on my own, they always broke down again with milder use than I anticipated. Watching these has really opened my eyes to a lot of smaller tricks these mechanical devices need that you just wouldn't think of coming from an IT background. This has also helped me learn how to fix laptop hinges much better somehow, was just watching a bucket of tools video in the background working on that and something suddenly clicked with how those hinges divide force over a wide area but with age develop a wobbly, putting all the force on the end and then ripping the housing. Also lazy other techs often put only one screw back out of 3 to the same effect. Your insights have made me a hero at my job and have helped me take up woodworking with tools I could normally never afford. For that you have my thanks.

Great video, very informative, saved me service costs, changed the o-rings and works like a charm again. 🎉

what a beauty of a machine, thx for helping her. edit: me prefers the longer vids on one machine with more in detail work. thanks again, like ur skills!

Nice video Dean. I don't think any of us doubted you could save it.

Great to see the old machines going again, love to see it. Personally, I like the long(er) videos. For me it doesn't matter if it's a single machine or a box of tools. I like mixing them up for variety.

I like the longer videos of both multiple pieces and single pieces

Every one of these is like an episode of a serialized pulp detective story. RU-vid Studios presents… THE GREASER In THE CASE OF THE ROTARY HAMMER I’m glad this one had a happy ending. Keep these coming!

Honestly I enjoy all of your videos so keep up the good work I look forward to a new video each time I see it ! Never gets old seeing tool repairs

The wife just asked what I was watching. "A man with a growler", I said. Niche websites again. Love what you're doing, keep it up.

I love watching all your content and personally like the longer ones , keep up the wonderful content

Anything goes Dean,, well all come for your knowledge.

First time seeing a "Growler" interesting bit of kit..

Great knowledge and knowhow, great job

Definitely longer format, either or works for me regarding single or multiple tools, just enjoy watching a skilled worker doing a great job and including all the info that you do, great job mate!!!! Watching from south wales

Liked every video I've watched up to now .... really good content, very honest and true to the specific tool

I'm enjoying both the individual and lot repairs. Longer videos preferred and would like to see more cleanings in your process, if applicable. Thanks!

Far prefer full screen longer videos. The way you solve is interesting.

dean, im glad your channel came along. its going to make my winter tool clean up go so much more easier. i do concete and at the end of every season, i tear down my tools, corded and cordless, clean all the dust and dirt out, re lube and repair as needed. after all, they make me money so i dont want them going down in the middle of the season which wouldnt be that big of a deal as i stock my own parts but finding the time is another thing. as far as videos, i appreciate any and all repair/informational vids. because i use them so much, i like the in depth, how/why it works bosch rotohammer vids of any model as i have 5 different size hammers from the 1 1/8 sds plus all the way up to 1 1/8 hex. i believe in having the right tool for the job plus it doesnt overwork the tool. thanks again and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

You can buy the greases from Bosch also in 1000ml containers. Just change the last digit of the partnumber, for the lighter stuff the code for 1000ml container ends with 016.

Fantastic thank you dean , long videos especially when they come in buckets 😂. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and yours

I like the mixed tools repair videos but I don't mind the single repair either. Either way just keep them coming 😂

Great job. Great video and thanks for posting it.

Hey Dean: Thanks for all the great videos and information, really enjoyed going through it. Have a good Christmas & try not to drink too much black nectar.

22 years old drill impressed how it can be repaired so easy a new one cost at least 8k euro

Nice one Bosch are very good equipment i found a drill that has tourqe overload protection that doesnt tear your arms off on big drilling jobs Great to see the detailed video and resurrection

Long or short, if you post them we will watch. Preference towards the 30min - 1 hour. If its useless dewalts throw a few of them in the same video, if its an old timer they often deserve their own video.

I both formats, the long one I can just play while doing something else but for old equipment that is no longer manufactured, oddballs and interesting repairs a separated video is alright.

I can watch paint dry when its being applied by someone whos brilliant at what they do. Thanks for the great videos, keep em coming and very best wishes and happy christmas to you and your family Dean

Happy New Year, Dean!

Beautiful job sir

I guess something 22 years old might be a lot more durable than something built today.

Thanks!

I don't mind what kind of video it is, if you make it i will watch it.

If you are not subscribed and like what Dean does, then press the subscribed button!

Packie Bonner would be proud of that save…

When you fix a tool can you initially display on screen the cost new and used please

The best grease I have found for these is synthetic CV axle grease for cv joints

Lube fixes many things 🙈👍🏻😁

Ah I wondered why there wasn’t any hilti tools getting fixed. I assume there taking it all in house?

Have you done a video about all the different lubricants you use? and I’m a massive fan of blue handled Bosch my drill is over thirty years old!

Can anyone help me? I got Milwaukee K 545 S and when I press trigger, it starts full speed and after like 3 secs it slows down half the speed it should be running and keeps running like that until i let go trigger and use it again, i got new set of brushes btw

Interesting tester for the motor. Any idea if they are still available? Or is there a more modern equivalent?

Ok how do you test both sides of the motor

Really nice video as always - why 2 different types of grease? and which kind are they

Hello,I have same machine and have problem with potentiometer.Sometimes work properly but sometimes work on high speed only and dont respond.Its very danger to drill because machine can speed up in second and can hurt hand.Can it be fixed or need to change part.Its little expensive,about 70 euro for that part.

Hi dean I have a view ryobi tools to repair ,saw sds and angle grinders would you be interested in doing them for me .

GBH Good Broken Hammer.

"Testing on the growler" “growler” is Yorkshire slang for pork pie, but also a lewd term for female genitalia. I remember that one from old Top Gear episode.

My eBike motor is made by Bosch. I don't suppose it'll last 22 years

Can you add Turkish subtitles to the videos?

Why have you stopped doing hilti repairs?

You know... a little bosch freak with a nut driver would make short work of those bolts...

I plump for longer videos, i have a question, do you get tools in that the owner wants a complete repair, due to sentimental reasons, old tool belonged to dad, uncle etc, and they want it fix regardless

Is there a story behind stopping Hilti repairs?

Either.

This hammer was in Ukraine probably look what he survived 😮
