Fantastic job! I wish more people would repair broken items instead of sending them to landfill. I like to try and fix items if I can, if I can't they end up in my "bits box" for use in future art projects, I very rarely throw anything away, much to the frustration of my poor Mum! So I really appreciate what you're doing here. Cheers from the UK!
Good save. I had to do something similar to a cordless circular saw after a tumble of a roof. I bought a new one to take to work and assigned the repaired one to domestic use. However I use it a lot, even cutting scrap lumber up for firewood. It’s holding up without any problems.
I don't think putting the armature into the ultrasonic was a smart move. Ultrasonic MAY damage windings laquer making it sort out and the solvent (gasoline) you used probably washed the grease out of the bearings, unless you changed new bearings off camera. Otherwise nice repair and making it to be in working order again.
he didn't even check, how it works under pressure: only small screws was used without started impact in driver :D Why? Because body will break one more time in the same place :D That restorations are only for youtube, not to work with this tools :)
I was going to say exactly the same thing. The reality is, even his handle repair is unlikely to be able to sustain much in the way of pressure when actually using the impact aspect - yet alone the poor windings
@@darek098 Look, he's kept that tool out of landfill for the time being, it'll likely suffice as a non-impact drill. Maybe someone has use for it like that, you don't know. I for one appreciate the effort. If you can't then maybe this isn't the channel for you.
@@hbrestoration Wicked, thanks! It looks a lot like paint I used many years ago on a Red Dwarf Kryten vinyl model kit so I wondered what colour it was. Looks fantastic!
Don't listen to these guys about the super glue, you did a great job. You used "stitches" with a soldering iron plus epoxy, so it should be solid. Frankenstein impact lives!!
