    I hate wasting, throwing away broken anything that can be fixed easily. Not only repairing will reduce waste and saves perfectly good resources, it saves you a ton of money! That is if the cost of repairing is not more than buying a new one, or maybe even sometimes?! I mean think about a functioning motor in a drill, the magnets, the gears!!! So much good stuff!! I stop rambling now.

    Had my drill fail a few months ago. After taking it apart I found that 1 of the wires connected to the motor broke off at the terminal. Turns out what happened is there’s nothing physically holding the motor in place. So every time the motor ran the torque would cause the motor housing to rotate a bit eventually braking the 1 terminal connection. After a while I realized if I extended that wire about 1cm and rerouted it that would place tension on the motor in both directions. That prevented the motor from moving and the drill now works perfectly.

    • @EvenTheDogAgrees
      @EvenTheDogAgrees 2 месяца назад +37

      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.

      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.

    • @reneschumann8922

      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...

      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.

    I had a similar issue with my Dewalt electric push mower. The "high amperage" power switch in the handle actually had its contacts get too oxidized and wouldnt make electrical contact anymore. It was kinda wild. I tore it apart, filed them down and it works like new. That being said, it would be nice for power control to be controlled by a relay or a solid state device. They actually used 16/3 extension cable cord to run the current from the main unit on the deck of the mower ALL the way up to the handle and BACK again! Other manufactures use a low voltage, low current switch in the handle. Much less wire!

    Man. the satisfying feeling of fixing something that is expensive without having to pay a single cent...
    My girlfriend has one of those overpriced wireless gaming headphones and the powerswitch had a lose connection causing it to shut off every time you moved your head to hard.. just a simple disassembly of the headphone and the powerswitch and cleanup with rubbing alcohol and it works like new again. this feeling is so freaking good.

      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.

Lucky I could pull more of the other cable through and rejoin the broken cable after stripping it back a little so it looks no different.

    Nicely done! I consider DeWalt as '2nd best' with regard to battery powered tools, Milwaukee as best overall. Still, I've put a non-hammer drill version through a lot of stress when fixing a barn, and thus exposing it to sand and manure, as well as high stress (drilling a 1/2" hole through old, hard 6x6 posts). For what it's worth, a dedicated hammer drill for concrete is worth it if you have to drill a lot of holes. It's a lot easier on the user for sure.
    Great diagnostic work, plus nice demonstration of 'be sure it works before all the reassembly steps are done'!
