Once again a phenomenal video and a golden rule to follow at the end; "If you're borrowing tools and you need it more than once, you need to buy your own." Thanks, Dean!
Hence why you got cheap tools to lend and proper to keep for yourself. If someone need the proper ones, I go with my tools and use then myself. I didnt spent hundreds of Euro on my tools for a "Primitive Pete" to damage them, lend them to someone else or sold.
@darylhudson: so the one click on "See original (translated by Google)" or whatever it says on your device is too much trouble for you? The INTERnet is not English ...
Hi Dean, would you consider doing a tutorial-style "preventative maintenance" video about which things we should be cleaning, greasing, lubing or whatever to get the most out of our tools? Thanks!
New follower, greatr instructional videos and very informative and of course from a NI man, lol. I hate lending tools and agree totally with your ending comment, "If you're borrowing tools and you need it more than once, you need to buy your own." . Well said Dean.
I agree 100% with your last comment about not lending tools. My father was an engineer and said the same. "Your tools are yours and nobody else's. If you lend a tool and it is lost, or worse still is returned broken you lose not only your tool but also trust and respect for the person who borrowed it."
If i borrowed a tool i'd be sure to return it in the same if not better condition then when i borrowed it but a lot of people don't have that mentality. But i agree with the if you need it more than once then buy your own.
Normally when someone wants to borrow a tool, they obviously don't have one themselves, which generally means they dont know how to use that tool, coupled with "well its not my tool its cost me nothing" factor they tend to abuse them ! Anyone asks me to borrow a tool I always tell them its a golden rule NEVER to lend tools to anyone, most builders know this rule through bitter personal experience.
If a machine is unrepairable or uneconomical to repair, they should be forced to label it as a "Disposable Non professional tool" in big legible letters on all their packaging, all their advertising and anywhere its sold, under the trade descriptions act ! These are just cheap disposable goods masquerading as "professional" machines. a pro machine is supposed to be rugged and serviceable, its cheap DIY tools which you throw in the bin when they go wrong, because the cost of repair is more than the machine is worth.
Thank you Dean for your brilliant videos, I was given a Makita 8391D drill which was noisy and smelt of burning. Following watching you it gave me the confidence to fit a new motor to it and now it runs nicely, older machine but does the job.
Hadn't seen the inside of that Metabo either, but that one is a true nightmare design ... Also the CB440 is CB448 these days, still the same brushes just a different number. Not even gonna comment on the Dewalts anymore, everything electric is a one piece part these days and almost always exceeds half of the machines worth. Thanks for another great vid!
I just admire your mindset to use 2nd hand parts on those tools. Keeping the costs down for your customer but also the impact on the environment is much lower.... less production, less polution and less landfill. Just top Dean ! About lending my tools... after learning the hard way... never again !!
Must never buy a Metabo product if that angle grinder is an example of their repairability. The Makita circular saw should be described as stupid Customer User Not Technical. The acronym of the last four words is quite apt in this case. *Thank you* for the Masterclass Repair Video Dean. 👍
All my tools are metabo,drills,circsaw,grinders etc been running for years now never had any issues with them and they have awesome battery platform.Just cuz one tool is bad doesn't mean they all are.
@@AlexKall It would be for me if reliability was an issue, but in my 15 years in construction, I don't think I've broken more than 10 power tools in total.
I enjoy the analysis Dean does so quickly. That basic 20v Makita Circular saw wasn't powerful enough to cut through multiple 8x4 foot sheets. You need a solid mains unit for that. Or take longer about it, cutting each sheet individually.
Hiya Dean, Just wondered if you had any experience with the 36v double 18v sds Makitas? DHR263 (brushed) or DHR280 (Brushless) Thoughts on them as a tool? Thanks, thumbs up.
I have had the 18v counterpart brushless and it's really robust and like Dean said in the past it can work with low fairly grease without too much issues compared to others. Gearbox and motor are great in my opinion so if the 36v is as fantastic and reliable as the 18v ones you should be okay
Yes, both are very good machines and the gearbox gives very little trouble. Quite robust actually. But I would go with the brushless over the brushed machine as the brushless can handle a lot more work.
Nice video Dean !! Fascinated by you`re knowledge and work ethic. Just wonder if you repair tools that been used for asbestos, if so how do you do it ?
Excellent work. That DeWalt silicone gun is pretty much a no-buy in Oz, fail after 6 months, 6 month turnaround on warranty repair (2 years in Oz). DeWalt wants to sell them, but not provide parts.
I've been watching a few of your videos and had a quick question I notice when you use your drill and your bit driver that you use in this video have dimples on the side of it I'm assuming these are interchangeable bits that go into the head of the screwdriver or can go into the drill if you want. If you don't mind me asking what is the name of these particular ones
Hi Dean, Hoping you can help me some more . I have an AEG sds drill. Its knocking on at bit, like myself. I dont want to buy a new one . truthfully I probably wont get the use off it. I need a switch for the drill but have no idea where to go for it. Any ideas??
Looking at that 1st Matebo grinder. If motors like that one are still good, for example cut off the junk parts and get it to spin in a working chassis, they may still be valuable to sell. I've used junk power tools to build RC cars many times in the past, I'm sure people still do it. A cheap high speed brushless motor like that is easy to build around, although understandable a very small market.
You know your stuff and no doubt you'll know crap tools from good tools. I am looking for to buy a drill set, what would you recommend. I was about to order the dewalt dws780 until i saw your video and took your advice and ordered a makita instead. Thanks. In advance. 👍
Be sure to pick one with an aluminum gearbox like the ddf 484 The second gear ring grabs onto aluminum instead of a plastic part, much more robust. Have a nice day 😊
Hey Dan, how you doin ? Look man I enjoy your vids.. everytime I see you unscrewing things and talking about armatures I see that thing on your wrist... casio wr or some sorts.. ?. If you see my comment reply to me, I'll hook you up, limited edition seiko 5 lumibrite my dude. Preowned ofcorse it's taken a beating it still looks brand new.
I know a 6' 3" monster of joiner from llanberis, North Wales (hello Aaron, if you're reading), who snaps every single silicone gun within the hour. In all honesty, his grip is lethal and he should have been a strangler by trade. That silicone gun would get squoze to death within minutes.
If Ive lived in Ireland, I would send you my Makita HP001 XGT tool for review and teardown, but since we are sea and quite the land apart it would cost us both sending it.
Why would a brushed saw need a controller, there is no speed adjustment and obviously no overload protection. My guess is that a cheap switch can be used?
Whoever was operating that Makita impact wanted an early finish but they had to finish breaking out a load of concrete or brickwork so he took the handle off and disconnected the switch and when he's stuck it back together he's squashed the plug against the pins and bent them then he's gone back to his boss and said this machine has stopped working 😂😂😂
That Dewalt silicone gun!!!! Dewalt is fast becoming my least favourite big brand tool. Just like mobile phones now legally having to use the same charger socket so that less perfectly usable equipment is going in the bin, we need to have laws put in place to stop electronics companies from grouping items together like this and then charging stupidly high prices for a replacement! There is absolutely no valid reason for having everything as one piece like this. There's even less reason for companies not to be selling replacement parts to keep tools running properly for longer. If anything, I'm hoping that practices like this are hurting brand loyalty and customers are switching to brands that have a better spare parts supply system for their power tools.
Hard to believe that DeWalt continues to get away with their price / quality model - like paying Festool prices for Harbor Freight back in the day. Crikey.
But its time consuming. If you yourself got the tools and knowledge or have a friend who is good at this then sure. Youd also might need their diagram what goes where. Repair shops want it fix asap. Unless its a PC repair shops and they fix a graphics card, then they will dabble in thay circutry magic.
@@michaelfairchild might be worth a go. Often they are easy fixes and the same fault reoccurs, so each time you get that particular controller, you fix it faster. Perhaps one of the RUclips electronics fix channels might like a go at it such as Buy it Fix it.
@@UnCoolDad Sure it is, but mostly for people who either do it like you stated for content on YT or, if youre skilled on fixing it yourself. Most of the components on the PCB will be items you can buy everywhere. Unless its some cheap chinese part that doesnt have any markers and you need to guess the parameters of it.
@@michaelfairchild Most often it is a simple component which goes - like a capacitor, diode, or a bridge rectifier. I'd also say that many faults are commonly in the same place for the same board, so if someone can take all the faulty controllers, refurbish them, and make them available as second hand, it could be worthwhile - especially if they cost 250 euro!
people that borrow tools don't respect them because they haven't paid for them, and if you do borrow tools and you need it more than once you need to buy your own.
1:00 I really like how that Metabo grinder battery turns side to side like that. That's a good idea for sure. I wish my DeWalt (dcg413)grinder did that, but I guess changing head position is as close as I'm getting with that one. I'm pretty sure you can turn the head any direction on it but never tried & not 110% sure.🛠️🔩🔧🗜️🦺👍🏻👌🏻 ✊🏻🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸✊🏻

He probably would have done 2 or max 3 sheets at a time, but this is not the saw for going against the grain on ply with 2/3 sheets - the DHS680 is the beast for that with a 4amp battery which has the most powerful cells in the 18v Makita lineup.
Once again a phenomenal video and a golden rule to follow at the end; "If you're borrowing tools and you need it more than once, you need to buy your own." Thanks, Dean!
Here's a new rule if you borrow it and you break it you pay for it to be repaired or buy a new one. Get the agreement on video/audio as proof.
