It's easy to see what the common problem with dewalt impactors are. But at least they are repairable.

Every Friday at the end of the day, I take the last hour to clean all my tools. Everyone on the crew laughs at me, but they replace tools twice as often as me.
Absolutely fantastic think most people throw them away when it can be easily fixed if you know what your doing. Great videos👍👍
You should throw em away because they are Dewalt no because they are bro
Now there's a guy who knows exactly what he's doing
If he didn't at the start of the bucket, he has certainly become a switch cleaning wizard by the end :)
Nothing like watching someone who's done it before. Impressive and satisfying. Dewalt ought to make those triggers modular (with switch) if they're going to fail so often.
Got to love those Dewalts! Easy fix no parts required unlike milwaukee haha
Whoever brought those lot of DeWalts in had a good day with so many been fixed.
Been watching the videos. You helped me to strip, clean and fix a damaged reed valve on my paslode im360 so thanks for saving me £150 quid
i sell Milwaukee and Dewalt tools locally in NYC (no online sales). that DCF887 XR impact (as well as DCF787 and other cost down versions of that impact) break down constantly. same goes for the DCW210. they break all the time and i'm honestly sick of having to take them back, returning to vendor, re-selling, etc. Milwaukee tools are far more reliable but their batteries suck. Milwaukee 8ah and 12ah HO batteries stop working due to faulty BMS designs very often.
if you're shopping for dewalt 1/4" impacts, i recommend DCF840 and 845. far more reliable while also being smaller and lighter
Have tore appart a few tools either being curious or attempting to fix them, mostly being used ryobi so wasnt that concerned. Currently moving to dewalt and looking at tools for sale for parts because you have given me confidence
I think it's pretty neat that out of all the impact drivers only one required taking the actual hammer assembly apart to fix. And even that one required no parts so for the whole video you used only a couple springs and some contact cleaner.
it was probably dropped bit down, that's why the bushing was pushed inside.
Yes its pretty cool
What spray use for clean the contacts?
I'm glad I watched this. My 10yr old DeWalt 776 drill has the intermittent run symptom. I simply guessed motor issue. Gonna check the switch.
Great video! Keep it up record your videos just like this for people like me that are always on the go looking for a quick fix.
Pretty crazy how all those newer dewalt xr impacts are fried but only one old style. Ive burned through 2 of the xr impacts, my 2 originals thst sre 4/5 yesrs older holding up just fine
I've had an XR for about 4 years now and it's JUST now starting to freak on me and I think it is the issue that he had on the first impact....I'll try that. Otherwise, I love my XR impact.
Oh boy, a bucket full of deeeeeeeeeeeewalts! :)
That confirms I should have stayed with Makita or switched to Milwaukee
ah, been waiting for this one, perfect for a sunday eve
Dean, applied the switch clean on an old XR..now +1 on impacts. Thanks mate..
I didn't know that 1/4 hex chuck spring. Could be fixed. Never mind taken apart at all!!!
I have 3 sets at home im gonna get back running!!
How detailed are your customers in describing the faullt/faults in the tools they send in for repair. How often do you fix one problem only to realise there are several more.
Keep up the good work 👍
that is nearly every machine i fix. not often i get a note to say whats wrong with it. A lot of times there isnt even a phone number to ring the customer on.
You made it look easy!
Interesting channel mate. Good job
all the best from Melbourne Australia
PS if you were out there as a tradie these days
which one would you go for DeWalt Milwaukee or Makita for the 18 V stuff?
Great video.
What grease are you using to lube grinder gear cases and hammer assemblies?
Hey Dean, thanks for the videos and your work!
My dewalt i think its 887 impact; it feels weaker than other impacts… sometimes it’s like the gear changes. So I’m trying to drive a screw in on the highest speed and in the middle of it the speed and sound lowers and gives up. I try again and the speed comes back
Probably wiring issue getting juice like it sound for the first part of hitting trigger then isn't, then lit sit then u let it sit again an it does the same thing starts strong then cuts out, haven't seen any videos yet on that issue or would know how to fix it by now lol good luck
Enlightening video, thank you. Have you run across a problem where the drill function is selected, and stuck in that position?
I repair tools on the side. I didn't know that you could take the switch apart and clean it. I will try that. The Milwaukee fuel series you have to replace the whole assembly. That is why a lot of people just pitch the tools because it cost so much to repair it.
Well done, I do have a chinease 16v impact driver, i bought it lately, it has a strange error, it change speed quickly and suddenly, also if you do a precise job with low speed it may change direction and speed and fleck back again !!! A very strange thing i bever came across, may it be the trigger or the control board, it has this error since I got it, I hope you can advice
You sir are a wizard ;)
What cleaner are you spraying on the contacta?
Very good job

Tengo uno 18 volt, pero se me perdio el cargador gracias amigo👍🤝
Your a genius 👍

❤ Hey Dean. I have a Makita DTD171 (japan version i think).
It has a 'hold school' Bit Chuck, where you almos always need two hands to change the bit.
Do you know if you can Upgrade to a 'Fast Change' Bit Chuck?
Is it possible that the makita always comes with the new ones but they sold me a repaired machine to me with an old chuck?
My DCD796 has the trigger issue and has done for quiet some time, i wouldnt mind but its lead a fairly relaxed life and i treat my tools well.
It seems DeWalt need to revise their trigger design as its quite clearly flawed.
Great videos as usual 👍
You make it look easy, I have a few dewalt tools that could probly be repaired, I'm sure I'd mess them up worse tho.
Only reason I clicked was to see if it really was a bucket full. Not disappointed!!!
Do you replace entire electronic on or can you just fix the switch?
Was already excited too see this then I heard your accent, awesome
those dewilt 887s are so cheap from my local pawn shop that if one goes down, i pick up another one for $40-$50 then i have a spare everything unless its the ball or spring in the chuck then ill put new ones in. bought a handful of each as doing concrete form work is hard on the chucks.
if you dont mind me asking but where do you source your parts from? thanks.
Dean you legend, thank you so much for sharing your incredible knowledge!
Any chance you can take a look at the Milwaukee hedge trimmer (M18FPOH)?
Heaps of reports of units overheating, battery cutting off. Any hacks/tips??
YES, don't buy Milwaukee.
Im afraid they have the motor controller set up run hard and fast. Resulting in a shorter life span. A motor problem with a Milwaukee is simply not worth fixing. as the motor, controller, switch and battery contacts are all one piece. basically you would be replacing half the machine, for the price of a new one.
@@deandohertygreaserok, appreciate your input Dean and once again thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge!
What’s in that spray can you’re using on the contacts of the switches?
I love how you dont feel the need to give a detailed clean to the housing. Just quick repair and these little tanks are back at it. What are you spraying the triggers with? Is it a clp like i use on my guns?
cleaning with electrical contact cleaner and also applying a lay of silicon spray to help lube the brass wiper
@@deandohertygreaser thank you!
@@deandohertygreaserwhat do I need to clean if my 1, 2,3 switch doesn’t work all that great? Is it the trigger switch or the 1,2,3 switch? Thank you!!
Cool showing and telling, no loud song and hi speed
Turning your phone sideways puts it into landscape mode and we won’t get the wide black lines. Thanks.
It plays full screen on mobile.
It does not
🙄
Just a reminder some phones might not have that feature but some might
I don't have the black lines...
Have you ever done a dewalt dcs571 mini circ saw? Need to remove the trigger lock switch thing that you hold down to press switch?
Top chanell btw
You anything on the Dewalt cordless orbital sander ?
thanks for all u do. could you possibly do a 586 m-class vac bluetooth fix please? inside the unit (not remote, I've changed the battery) thanks in advance
Thanks bro i'm fix my drill thanks again
Hi Dean, I haven't really seen Bosch 18v tools for repair, can you tell me why? Or are they not that popular in Ireland?
They just don't break that often ;)
And metabo too?
What's the easiest way to get driver bit stuck in dewalt impact? Thank you
DeeeeeeeeeWalt switches, the purgatory of tools for a repair person
Can you repair DeWalt 60 v batteries I'm ready to give up on DeWalt I bought 12 and have 5 that won't charge and they are less than 1 yr old. Thinking about a new line of tools.
Hello Dean, i could really use your advise. I have a DeWalt DCF835 impactor. The battery charges to full so that one is fine. However when I press the switch all I see is one of the front led blink shortly and nothing else. I connected the battery directly to the motor and that runs well, so I am sure it must be in the switch. I cleaned it out like you do with contact spray etc.
When i measure the voltage coming into the switch on the Red/Black wires I measure the full 14V. But when I measure above the switch between the black and yellow wires I measure about 10v?? Not sure what the blue and white wires below the switch are for? Any ideas what could be wrong, and can I only replace the switch or do I need to but a complete new electric component which is almost as expensive a a new impactor!?
Hope you can advice or give me some tips to try?
Thanks for your help!
SKILLS...👍
My mannn I have a question on my dcn660 my jam light keeps coming on and I have t even shot but 15/20 nails
I know I ain't putting back together. I'll take it apart,
Which spray did you used fo contact clening?
Contact cleaner
Which one there is a lot of them
@@hairyrice5407 samestuff in all ot them take one that have something with "electronic" on it
I got to send mine in. Dewalt DCD709. It makes a start sound, but doesn’t move. I see the light on then off immediately.
I wish you lived closer! I have a few drills that could use your expertise 😔
I used dewalt for 1 power tool and ended up throwing it in the trash. Brand new it had issues. Replaced it with a milwaukee and could not be happier.
I opened my dewalt tools and replaced the Grease with lucas oils red n tacky
Unbelievable difference
Id recommended
Yo tire uno a la basura que lo compré en home dephot me costo $170 solo use 3 beses y se trono la punta donde ya solo.daba buelta y es de los nuevos estilos. Pienso que esta mejor Milwaukee tengo uno ya va 2 años y esta trabajando
I've got one 3 speed just started not working on speeds and then nothing , any idea
That day is a suich day 😂😂
I love that you use a makita to fix dewalt
Dose any body know where I could find a motor for rotary laser DW079LG? I cant even find the parts diagram for those. Help appreciated
I have one (drill driver) that works sometimes and mostly nothing happens when you push the trigger normal but if you slap the trigger on and off really fast you can get it to spin. I want to toss in trash but still it sits there. I see what you are doing, but I do not understand the things that you are doing. Lifting here pushing there disconnecting this disconnecting that is there any way you can either slow down your video or zoom in and get closer and show exactly what you're doing when you are working on these switches? Hell from your video. We can't even tell what your spraying on that. Thank you very much. It's exactly what I need if I can get a little bit more third grade level. And yes I've been building engines and cars since I was young and I'm 63 but I just can't get the learning effect. I need to be able to do this myself from the videos I'm watching. I guess maybe I'm asking for a little bit more talking maybe pausing the video zooming in on what you're doing and how you're getting these things apart so I don't open up mine and end up with a basket of parts.
Whats the spary called thats used to clean these tools
electrical contact cleaner
Its weird that they are all basically the same model impact driver. Note to self, stay away from the 787 lol.
In your opinion sir, which do u think is the most reliable manufacturer & built to last?
afraid there is no right answer. for me its Makita. but each brand have there good and bad tools. for makita there bad tools are nail guns and table saws.
so it more depends on what tools you will be running.
i work as an cctv camera installer and i need a hammer drill cordless i only need few milimiter deep small holes to drill i am thinking to move on from my corded bosh rotarty hammer drill to a lighter regular hammer drill which one would you reccomend ? 18v ,
Hey man,
As a suggestion go with the one where u already have some batteries for.
If you don't have any, Makita Milwaukee or DeWalt will give you great results regardless of the brand. Festool and Hilti are also popular but much more expensive.
Either way, just make sure to have a brushless motor on it and you will be just fine.
@@Matt-ns2ty yeah i am thinking about milwaukee gen 4 hammer drill i found a good deal with drill driver combo
Yeah, if you're just drilling small holes for masonry anchors & screws(1/4", 3/32", etc), any of the brushless cordless hammerdrills will be fine. They're not the best for bigger holes but I'm sure you'd use an actual hammerdrill for that. What ever brand batteries you're invested in already would be the one I'd go with. 👍👌🛠️🗜️🔧🔩📏⚡⚠️🔌😄
The 12v milwaukee tools look great and very compact. I use 18v makita but do anything and everything. If I were up and down ladders just doing small holes I'd look at 12v
@@Smithb83 i was thinking the same but occacionaly i chukck sds bits to bore big holes for few cables to fit through and i want drill to handle the abuse
They have dewalt tools in Ireland and the UK? I didn’t know that.
If I follow theses steps I will be the owner of 4 working impact drivers
Problème de conception bravo 7 visseuse réparées
What if there Brushless like the Milwaukee M18 FUEL SURGE, is there anything that would go bad in place of being Brushless if there's no brushes is there something else that takes place of the brushes I mean thank you, watch theses videos when got time fun & interesting to learn
How do you learn how to fix all of these ?
Where can I buy them used
what do u use to clean out the switched on the dewalt impacts, brake and clutch cleaner?
What happened to the planer?
It only needed blades,
5:35 i cant believe you saw that i guess you had to be holding it in your hand also FYI that stupid untilly knife you got on the table DOES NOT WORK for scraping glass you need the thinner razor blade with the hard back and the tool that goes with it that puts it at a 45 on the glass, anyone that works with glass knows that's the one to use, and that box cutter (thats all its good for if you can get the dam thing out) is useless in a utily knife you can get the extra 1/4 like the drywall knifes that lets those bigger blades sit in 2 different positions a longer or shorter
Around, this man does not fuck.
I asume that this guestion have been asked million times but what camera would be good for making this kind of videos?
Waw that’s a lot of dewalt to fix
No wonder you are getting quite a hang of it !! 🤣
Where you from? Derry?
My Dewalt mini blower got wet from rain. It will start to blow but shut off after a second. Where is a good starting point for me. Not the battery, batteries work in everything else. Thanks!

It's discouraging to see all those broken impact drivers. I have one. (I haven't broken it yet.)
❤🎉
👏👏👏
I like battery operated tools, but they are worthless without a charger. Had 4 cobalts go over a period of three months.

how do i send you some tools? from county armagh newry direction
Hey, I learned one thing HILTI Power tools are worth the extra money they just out preform everything else. Not assoc. With Hilti but free tools are excepted. 😂😂😂
👍
Are Dewalt tools any good?
Yes, mostly dust cause the malfunction.😂😂
