We used the machines in the 90s in our apprenticeship back then. I violated them for hours and days, I never saw a broken one. The best machine i have ever used in my life.
I do hope Makita is not going the same direction as Hilti did in the past regarding quality... but in respect of some Makita tools I really do have my doubts lately.... 🤔
Hey, thanks for the information - I will be attempting the same(?) repair sometime in the future on my TE 56. So, please forgive me if thiere is an obvious answer to my next question: Is the part that was broken in your video something that could be 3D-printed? Maybe possibly 'repaired' with epoxy or JB Weld? I have a very strong aversion to throwing something out for lack of a way to repair it - replacing/re-buying tools is the worst, esp. when a tool is mostly functional, but not all the way!
@jimmiejaymes - I totally agree with your last sentence. I am fixing tools myself for a hobby because I hate throwing things away when tools are working for except for a small part... 3-D Printing might get good results, just give it a try !!
That is 1 happy hilti owner. Fairplay to u
