Tool Time with roadking. Thanks for sharing I have had to do the same thing to my air ratchet before. Replaced what i call the reeds. Have a great weekend!!!
The center rotor collects dirt, dust and gunk and needs cleaned before the fiberglass vanes are installed. Carb spray and air is best. With the pad removed, clean the bearing the same way. But the fiberglass vanes will wear fast if this chamber is not cleaned and oiled. Run 12 times and clean with a rag or shop towels to remove oil to keep from contaminating your work before using. Just years of fixing and learning right vs wrong. ASE Master since 78, mechanic 69. Retired.
I like these side videos. Even though I doubt I will ever have to do that job, it's fascinating to take things apart and see how they work. I would be happy to see more of these videos if you feel like making them.
Most air tools require lubrication and daily oiling, however with the body tools nobody wants misting oil all over their soon to be painted surfaces! Great repair on that beauty!!!!!!!
Thanks Bud!! You need to explain that to the Crew!! They don't understand why I don't oil anything!! That was just a show for YT so I didn't have to hear the Trolls!!☺
Watching this video improved my mood quite a bit. I left work at 10pm, after shoveling about a foot of snow around my car. We only had about 6 inches of snow, but the wind was blowing it into drifts around everyone's cars. Luckily I always keep one of those telescoping snow shovels in my trunk. After that, I managed to creep my way home on poorly plowed roads, which was extra fun because my car is rear-wheel drive :P And then when I finally reached my house, I had to park in the street, so I could shovel the 6 inches of snow off of my 3-car, 40ft long driveway. And it was dense, heavy snow too :( That took me about an hour and fifteen minutes. Now I can relax. A hot meal and a Roadking video is just what I needed :)
Ah Ha a video on repairing a DA sander. Fantastic. Instead of a razor blade I might try a putty knife even if I had to grind the edge down some. Might work. This makes me wonder if the cheaper ones can be rebuilt. Probably not. Throw away like most of the junk they make today. That's a good brand. Devilbiss used to make pretty good stuff. I don't do much of body work anymore.
I saw you try to put the handle on upside down but I didn't want to embarrass you in front of the whole country... You figured it out anyway. Good fix, EJ.
That's the first muffler they've ever sold. Someone had to go out and buy a block of foam so they could cut it and put it in a bag and send it to you! Personal service! 😁
What a great name MUDHOG. I only have one DA. But for me it works as I don't have the volume of work. Very cool video. Thanks RK. I love the tool rebuild (repair vids). Thanks a lot. they do save me a lot of $$$$ Thinking of you and hope all is great with you sir. How is the shoulder--- is it??? We have to stick together buddy.
Ah servicing, repairing, refurbishing, those days were the good days when products were built with care and love, and with materials that weren't made from crushed up pop cans and chryslers... :P
The funny thing is, "National Detroit" sounds like exactly one of the names that Harbor Freight (or as I call it "Horror Fright") likes to put on their chinesesium products. Obviously this is the real deal! And, obsiously this is not the first time you've done this. :)
Alotta my other tools are Chicago Pneumatic, another great company, been around 126 years!! HF's brand is Central Pneumatic, that's so close it's embarrassing!!☺
When you go to buy a tool or somesuch,..just ask the sales people where you can buy replacement parts from,....then you'll know right there if you should buy it or not. If you can take it apart for service, then it's a 'good ' tool in my thoughts at least. Those 6000 series bearings are available everywhere bearings are sold, another mark of a good tool, that uses 'standard' replacement bearings. We used to flush the armature and cylinder out with something like WD40 before reassembling, then when all put together, we'd run that same lubricant/ cleaner through the air inlet and follow up with a drop or two of Airtool lube. You'll need to run it a while to clean out all the excess oil from the motor BEFORE you start back to bodywork.
I bought a knockoff version of that in the 80s. It worked for about 5 minutes and stopped. I took it apart and the whole thing was made of pot metal! Garbage can tool.
Can anyone comment on the REAL difference between a Dual Action sander and a Random Orbital sander? The actions seem the same and it seems like the only electric ones for sale are all CALLED Random Orbital. I'd rather have an electric version because I don't have a very large compressor. I know there are simply Orbital Sander but they are not the same at all.
