True dat, watching his videos has put me off buying makita, bosch and milwaukee for life as they are the ones mainly on his bench and half the time he is binning them as its too dear to repair them...
I love the way you stick up for the workers, and your right plasterers cannot spend hours after work cleaning their tools. Me I have a hard enough time keeping my DIY tools clean that I use every now and again, if I was a full time user of any tool, I would not want to waste valuable sleeping and resting time cleaning a cement mixing drill. I understand the workers ethics in using tools this way, thank goodness you do too, or you would never fix a single tool that comes to your shop. A very interesting fix it video my friend, very well done thank you for sharing your work day with us. Also maybe start a business sideline TOOL CLEANING 25 pounds an hour
The only thing you're ever going to see a plasterer doing apart from plastering and eating crisps at dinnertime is asking you for loads of money, the money they are on is unbelieveable...
@tolerance0519 it's strange, but two houses were built opposite my house in the street I live. Now, I took the time to follow the building of these houses, and when it came to cementing and plastering walls, I found out this was no longer done. Instead, they use plaster ceiling board and extend it all over the inside walls. Now I managed to ask these workers about this change from cementing and plastering walls, and they said there are really no plasterers anymore that all houses insides were done this way. Now I thought about this and saw the plaster board covered with a bit of grey paper and asked them how many times you could repaint this plaster board until this grey paper just pealed off the wall. They told me it never happens. But I sincerely doubt this. But the age of the wall plasterer has gone in 🇦🇺 Australia well in Western Australia anyway. I found this to be very sad as this ceiling board could not possibly be as strong as cement and plaster
I enjoy your videos. In the US it seems like every guy is into Milwaukee and calls it the best. It’s interesting to see you dissect the issues with them. Thanks
Yeah but thats people in general when it comes to brands isn't it, one person shilling says "its the best" usually on the advert and another immediately agrees without thinking about it or having used the tool or read any reviews or anything. So before you know it, "crap" is the best selling brand cos everyone wants to be seen buying and using "Crap, because Crap is the best" and they think that makes them better craftsmen and look more pro. When in reality, its repair technicians like Dean that know best that most of these big name brands are rubbish in a box with a plug on them or even worse a battery that costs more than a house and lasts about 15 seconds in any kind of pro scenario...
Brother when it's that cold, leave the heat on!! Just remind us about the fan when it kicks on 😀 We don't want you freezing while you're giving us all this great content!
Super good videos you make, love watching them👍👍. Just got my 1½ year old Makita DHP486, returned after a warranty repair at Makita Denmark, they have replaced the gear unit with a new one, it runs tighter and with a clear click, between hammer mode and drill mode, so it works until they have solved the problem with that. The gear shift also works better now, it goes into gear as it should when shifting.
I was so glad when you replaced the end cap on the saw with 'Evolution' the right way up! I must be on some sort of spectrum... Great stuff as always Dean, thanks.
Great videos Dean. Well done. Just a suggestion if you haven't done it. You could make a "Short" for the Makita design fault with only 2 pins in the gearbox and not 4 pins. Hopefully the Makita design team will watch the video and make some changes. I will also send a link to your short to the Makita Team as well.
Dream on...Makita are probably at this moment planning to take the other two metal pins out and replace them with plastic ones and raise the price of their new drills accordingly...Manufacturers are not interested in making their products better, only cheaper, as that raises the profit margin...
I love my DHP481 the 484 I have is on its second gear box because the auto hold breaks then the Chuck stops holding. It’s wanting doing again. Shame bloody good tool.
20:00 Gracias por desarmar la caja de cambio y explicar los detalles del diseño y funcionamiento. Siempre tuve curiosidad por saber esta importante información. Saludos desde Argentina👍
My dad had same problem with m12 grease gun as he uses it on his boat . When the last one broke he resin coated the board and 2 years later not a problem
When the service light comes on it’s usually after 120 hours or 200 hours depending on the model. When a tool works for this number of hours it doesn’t simply need a reset. When technicians reset the lights they have to do a full service on the tool. That means new o-rings and gaskets, and every component of the tool is inspected. The reason Hilti does this is because they have done a lot of research on their own tools, and have determined that after 120 or 200 hours the grease or oil in the tool has coagulated due to heat and use. The rubber components also begin to degrade as the grease and oil stop lubricating the internals as well as new grease and oil does. The reason for the light is because up until 120 or 200 hours the tool will still work and perform well. But after 120 or 200 hours the tool will not perform as well as it should. Hilti doesn’t want their customers to be struggling with broken or worn tools at the job site. So this system insures the customer always has a properly functioning tool. Also continuing to use the tool for more than 120 or 200 hours without doing a service wears out more components in the tool for no reason making a more costly repair
@@ryansteve8739 I get it's a necessary service, but why not allow other non-authorized technicians or even the customer itself to do it? Why does the hammer you paid a decent amount of money for require you to pay even more money whenever the brand wants? Does the hammer actually belong to you or are you just renting it out? I know exactly how this ends; every couple of years or so they lower that hour limit more and more so that you have to service it more often. Today might be 120hrs, next year's model will be 100hrs, and so on. It's completely anti consumer, let the people do whatever they want with the tools they bought.
I used to have a real fondness for Bosch tools and still have a few older, corded ones but has soon as production went to the far East, the quality dropped through the floor. On the heating side - I've a Diesel Heater in my workshop - it's noisy (thus it lives outside in a box I built for it) but is an excellent and inexpensive heat source.
That's why I've switched to Einhell cordless tools, they're about the same quality (if not even a bit better) than modern Bosh tools but roughly half the price (even less for spare batteries). Though I'm sill using mostly Bosch bits, drill heads, blades and the like, as these are still in the sweet spot for cost to quality ratio.
That is why I buy old Makita and Bosch tools.They are better than those now built in China.Have some as old as 24 years and the Bisch drill I bought about 6 years ago is struggling to stay alive.
That varnish on the controller is conformal coating, it protects it from water, oxidation and is dieletric. Not shire it is rugged enough forna powertool being tossed around though
As a retired tool repair tech, I love watching you. One thing if I may, when I was in the biz every repair went out cleaned as best as possible making the customer feel he was getting more than his money's worth from my shop.
There is something unnaturally satisfying about seeing that lump of plaster carved into a working mixing drill. You're a Michelangelo of rool repair. 😂
I have a dhp486 and I would like to preemptively fix the issue you describe. Can you give more specific directions on where to find (purchase) this ring assy? I found 450385-8 as part number but varying prices.
Yea, all the time now. Some come in the next day to get the machines. Because they seen it being fixed the pervious evening. Very handy for me, means I don't have to ring
I've been using makita LXT tools for just under 20 years now. I have had 1 battery die on me and it was one of the original 3.0ah batteries without the star on the case. I have batteries that have had literally hundreds on cycles on them and they are still going strong. Every now and again I get a dewalt or Milwaukee set and inevitably the batteries die after 2 or 3 years. Milwaukee batteries seem to have the magical ability to die sitting on a shelf. Had a few M12 tools a few years ago and 6 batteries. Bought them as light duty workshop tools for when I was doing furniture making and all the Makitas were out with the lads. One of the batteries never even got used in a tool, it was charged and put on the shelf and 14 months later I went back and it was dead, a second one died a few months later and had no more than 2 or 3 cycles on it. Will never buy a red tool again.
Love my DHP486 almost same as my DHP481. But as you say I also had a problem with a clutch (Iam hobby guy, my staff looks same as first day) still it broke. Luckaly just 2 days before warranty expired.... 🙂😂
Hi Dean, love your channel! How come so few festool machines come in? Are they so much better made that the don’t break so often? Low sales volumes? Br Jonas
@@deandohertygreaser Thanks for the reply! Okay! In Sweden where I live many finishing carpenters use them. Especially their track saw, miter saw and installation screw driver. Br:)
I feel like they can put a basic lip seal in front of the bearing to protect it better? I mean of course it would not last indefinitely, but will prolong the life of the bearing significantly.
What is the brand of the skinny security torx driver bit you are using in this video in the Makita drill? I bought a set of Neiko security torx bits and they deformed in no time.
Another great watch .. how do you remember all the little tips and tricks like the little connector pin when dismantling the Bosch machine ?? Good to know about the Makita drill gear speed selector issue thanks .. you should order some pins in and sell them on …. I’d defo buy them simple web page and link ?
no the DDF is a drill driver, drill driver drills are always more reliable than combi drills. I never understood why combi drills where so populare. The main issue is the the hammer funtion, no hammer, less problems
Surely there’s a market for a rubber grommet seal type gizmo to go over the attachment end of the mixing drill end to minimise the schmoo getting in ??
So Dean I just got back from Japan and every hotel we stayed in the housekeeping staff were all using these very nifty looking Makita cordless hoovers. What do think of these?
It's just bonkers that Makita used just 2 steel location pins in that cradle instead of 4 (Which the nylon part is designed to accept). I could even turn them up on the lathe. Why ruin their reputation for the want of 2 steel pins? It's nice to see a soldering iron with LED lights in it, Helpful idea.
The even bigger problem with dhp486 is the the slipping while you trying to tighten the chuck. It just doesn't hold it sometimes. Is there something can be done to fix that?
My DHP486 has a really good drill chuck, I have used it with an M12 mm cutting tap to cut threads in 10mm thick steel, it could hold the cutting tap fine without it slipping in the drill chuck. So I think there must be something wrong with your drill chuck.
What's the story with the split steel ring that was around the bearing on the plaster mixer but was still on the bench when you put the whole thing back together ???
That's not part of the mixer, Dean uses that to protect the aluminium casing on the mixer when pressing the bearing out. He uses that spacer a few times when using the bearing press in some of his other videos.
Seems like trigger and controller problems really kill Makita Tools. Have seen plenty of your videos where its a no fix straight away because the price of these parts is trough the roof.
Bosch 9-125, the small one with variable speed: If I leave it plugged in without using it it gets awfully hot. Should I send it for repair, still under warranty.
Annoys me that Milwaukee are so anti repair. The M12 stuff is so high performing and compact - and certainly seems to be more reliable than the 18v stuff
Powertools...Never in the history of mankind has man paid more money for a switch an electric motor and a few bits of wire...They make the prices of kitchen appliances look reasonable... But I have to say the grease coming out of that Milwaukee grease gun was truly, truly pathetic, but looking at the size of that motor in it, its no wonder is it...and what is worst the bloke now has two of them slowing him down...
I emailed Milwaukee service and parts on how shit and tacky their power tools are for repair parts at a component level and how I will never recommend any of their products to anyone even though I personally own a lot of their power tools and all I got off them is "We will pass on your email to the relevant department and get them to contact you" safe to say that was about 4 months ago heard nothing from them but what did I expect. If I was a power tool manufacturer I would modify any part that had a high problem or failure rate and sort it fair enough your not going to sell many spare parts but your products will get recommended more for reliability so people will choose you as a make than other makes I certainly would. I buy a cordless drill to drill things not use the hammer function or the clutch function, if I need to screw in a fastener I use trigger control I never use the clutch function.
No wonder you recommend Makita tools, you're repairing them 24/7...They've made you a fortune...lol... Personally I think Makita are overpriced crap for what they are as If I'm paying 4 to 500 or more quid for a drill or a saw I want a metal body on it, not a plastic piece of crap which is just about the same design and manufacture as the cheaper tools you can buy like say Parkside for a quarter the price but no big name... As it seems to me that lately with all the "Well known" Brand names all you are paying for is the name that very soon gets lost under the cement and paint. Bosch are the same, I used to work for Bosch in their parts department, I always thought their tools were useless crap as well, even their pro range was overpriced plastic garbage... Also as you point out regularly, most big manufacturers now especially Makita make a point of not selling the individual electronic components separately, but lump the controllers (which are all potted so you can't fix them either), switches and stators into one unit/item that is nearly as dear to buy as a new unit is. As having watched a lot of your videos it really boils my piss to see you constantly throwing away good tools because it is too dear to repair them, especially the good old school metal body ones as they are the last of the best of them and infact I think that repairing those no matter how much it costs in the short term, makes better sense as their metal construction is more durable and is going to take the knocks and last way longer than any cheapo plastic housing ever will. But that is the rule now, make whatever you can out of plastic that was once made of metal as it costs next to nothing, but still charge the same price as you would for a sturdy metal tool...A con basically. Good for Makita though as they sell more cheaply manufactured low quality tools at an extortionate markup considering the quality of the materials they are made from, but extremely bad for the environment and for your "Right to repair." So It seems that Makita especially are the BMW of power tools, it doesnt matter how old the tool is you are buying repair parts for, the components to fix it will be at such exhorbitant prices as to make the repair economnically unsound, to force you to buy a new one of lesser quality for a higher price and there is only one way round this. Buy off brand tools like Parkside etc for a quarter of the price, that last just as long and do everything about the same as the so called "Quality brands"...The equivalent of buying a Skoda rather than a BMW...
As a mechanic, I absolutely love the unbiased and quality opinions you give Dean. Great content.
True dat, watching his videos has put me off buying makita, bosch and milwaukee for life as they are the ones mainly on his bench and half the time he is binning them as its too dear to repair them...

Having to send in a tool just to reset a built-in timer is ridiculous and a very bad move from Hilti, hopefully right to repair takes care of them.

Thank you for letting me know about hilti hammer drills. I have a Makita drill with hammer; I would rather have a plain drill.

I've been using makita LXT tools for just under 20 years now. I have had 1 battery die on me and it was one of the original 3.0ah batteries without the star on the case.

Hilti truly are the Apple of the tool world. Can't understand why anyone buys their tools.
I wonder if that pin issue is the same on the 40v drill. Mine slips heaps and its kind hard to replicate
11:13 that's some battery kung-fu moves!
There was a Disco in that Evolution saw motor.😂

That big plaster drill with the red grease inside looked gruesome...literally internal "guts"
Hi Dean, love your channel!
How come so few festool machines come in?
Are they so much better made that the don’t break so often? Low sales volumes?

Low sale volume, the saws and sanders are very good. Vacs also. The rest I find over priced and and don't hear good things on.

no the DDF is a drill driver, drill driver drills are always more reliable than combi drills. I never understood why combi drills where so populare.

Notice you don't recondition the commutator. That's something most shops in the US perform. Just sayin'
Dean Doherty, Ladies and Gentlemen
So, if the problem with makita gearbox is 2 more pins, why you did not istalled all 4 of them, when you did the swap? (2 from the defective gearbox).
Because I had already done that repair to that gearbox in the past. thats is why i opened the faulty gearbox and not the good one.

Seems like trigger and controller problems really kill Makita Tools.
Have seen plenty of your videos where its a no fix straight away because the price of these parts is trough the roof.
"and... ...Milwaukee."
The sound of disappointment.
Bosch 9-125, the small one with variable speed: If I leave it plugged in without using it it gets awfully hot. Should I send it for repair, still under warranty.
diffinantly, should not be getting hot when not in use
@@deandohertygreaser thanks man
Annoys me that Milwaukee are so anti repair. The M12 stuff is so high performing and compact - and certainly seems to be more reliable than the 18v stuff
Dear Mr. Doherty could you make a video ruining some tools just to show people what NOT to do if they value their tools? 😎
That's an idea, might do when I get some free time.
20 Euro for brushes for a saw that’s like 40 - 50 euro. They really want us to throw stuff away…
How the hell did you learn how to fix all these things
Just a prediction, the Milwaukee will have a chip issue, therefore not worth his time
Edit: oh damn, they sell it separately?!
51:05 That totally sounds like a Sony Timer, horrible.
Powertools...Never in the history of mankind has man paid more money for a switch an electric motor and a few bits of wire...They make the prices of kitchen appliances look reasonable...
But I have to say the grease coming out of that Milwaukee grease gun was truly, truly pathetic, but looking at the size of that motor in it, its no wonder is it...and what is worst the bloke now has two of them slowing him down...
Too bad you can't seal that board with silicone spray huh?
Too bad Makita doesn't honor a warranty from it's date code
I emailed Milwaukee service and parts on how shit and tacky their power tools are for repair parts at a component level and how I will never recommend any of their products to anyone even though I personally own a lot of their power tools and all I got off them is "We will pass on your email to the relevant department and get them to contact you" safe to say that was about 4 months ago heard nothing from them but what did I expect.
If I was a power tool manufacturer I would modify any part that had a high problem or failure rate and sort it fair enough your not going to sell many spare parts but your products will get recommended more for reliability so people will choose you as a make than other makes I certainly would.
I buy a cordless drill to drill things not use the hammer function or the clutch function, if I need to screw in a fastener I use trigger control I never use the clutch function.
How can we all sit idly by while a poor disabled Makita gets screwed by a Bosch? Is this what our world has come to?
Bought the makita drill second hand 😂probably stolen
why buy makita when you can buy Bosch😄
send me your 18650 calls
No wonder you recommend Makita tools, you're repairing them 24/7...They've made you a fortune...lol...
Personally I think Makita are overpriced crap for what they are as If I'm paying 4 to 500 or more quid for a drill or a saw I want a metal body on it, not a plastic piece of crap which is just about the same design and manufacture as the cheaper tools you can buy like say Parkside for a quarter the price but no big name...
As it seems to me that lately with all the "Well known" Brand names all you are paying for is the name that very soon gets lost under the cement and paint. Bosch are the same, I used to work for Bosch in their parts department, I always thought their tools were useless crap as well, even their pro range was overpriced plastic garbage...
Also as you point out regularly, most big manufacturers now especially Makita make a point of not selling the individual electronic components separately, but lump the controllers (which are all potted so you can't fix them either), switches and stators into one unit/item that is nearly as dear to buy as a new unit is.
As having watched a lot of your videos it really boils my piss to see you constantly throwing away good tools because it is too dear to repair them, especially the good old school metal body ones as they are the last of the best of them and infact I think that repairing those no matter how much it costs in the short term, makes better sense as their metal construction is more durable and is going to take the knocks and last way longer than any cheapo plastic housing ever will.
But that is the rule now, make whatever you can out of plastic that was once made of metal as it costs next to nothing, but still charge the same price as you would for a sturdy metal tool...A con basically.
Good for Makita though as they sell more cheaply manufactured low quality tools at an extortionate markup considering the quality of the materials they are made from, but extremely bad for the environment and for your "Right to repair."
So It seems that Makita especially are the BMW of power tools, it doesnt matter how old the tool is you are buying repair parts for, the components to fix it will be at such exhorbitant prices as to make the repair economnically unsound, to force you to buy a new one of lesser quality for a higher price and there is only one way round this. Buy off brand tools like Parkside etc for a quarter of the price, that last just as long and do everything about the same as the so called "Quality brands"...The equivalent of buying a Skoda rather than a BMW...
8:44 LMAO imagine buying that overpriced grease gun, it barely spits any grease.
What i dont get is. You are doing this to make money. And you say its not wort fixing. Its like to say you dont want to make money?
