Okay, I had this happen to my Makita impact over two years ago. Tried EVERYTHING to get it out. Magnets, picks, glue a piece on top to pull out and much much more. Today, I have seen the light. Hallelujah! I'm gathering the needed tools and will be performing a Makitaoscopy this weekend. THANK YOU for the timely content. So glad that I subscribed.
Lmao makitascopy
Thank you for the timely content....eventhough the bit broke off 2 yrs ago. Lol im jus messin w u
@@jacksmith2315 LMAO too. I gave up and just used other drills. I need to use an impact driver this weekend helping a neighbor. I missed it! Hope I can fix this.
Glad we could help. "Makitascopy", that's hilarious.
Well hopefully yours turned out better than mine. I couldn't get anything to budge.
Out of curiosity, if you'd already tried picks and magnets, then what was revolutionary about this?
Thanks mate 👍. I followed your instructions with my Makita impact driver today. It worked a treat. I still had to grip the bit with a large pliers and tap the pliers with a hammer. But now my Makita is saved. Someone else advised to disassemble on a towel to avoid the ball bearings rolling away- great tip. I would also suggest having a tea towel or something held over the tool as you dismantle it. That will help stop parts springing across the room (it happened to me). Thanks so much.
You just saved me a ton of hassle. Milwaukee and followed the instructions and had it out and back together in 3 minutes. What a saint.
Hi Tim, I pulled it out with a strong magnet, came right out, my 1/4 impact will not pull lugs off! Everything under the hood is not a problem, not lugs! Your tool talent is very impressive Tim, I’ve seen you do some tear downs and install a lift and now this broken bit repair, excellent quality video, ty so much, Bob,
Out of all the videos online, this one was the best. I SPENT HOURS watching videos and trying to get my bit out of my impact driver. I did everything this video said to do and it worked. The process took me ALOT LONGER but I did get the bit out and my driver is working as it should. I own a Makita (which I love) but to replace it would have cost $$$$$....thank you....PS. use a magnet tray for sure. The little parts can go flying..Be sure to do this in an area where you will be able to easily find and see tiny parts if dropped. I did end up spraying WD40 on it and letring it sit for a few hrs too. I DID THIS ABOUT 3 TIMES BEFORE i finally got it
You are the man!! Thank you for your part in extracting a step drill bit that broke off and was a little rusty on the end which caused it to stick inside that much harder. I was using a ryobi impact which has 3 ball bearings in it. I guess they don't want those bits coming out at all. Now off to give another guy props for putting what little bit of the bit that came out after your instructions, but needed to put the bit in a vise and tap on the impact shaft and it finally broke loose. Thanks again brother. Im subscribing tonight to your channel.
I have a Worx Switchdriver, and first month had this problem. Called the company, they sent me out a new one, one month goes by, and the second one gets a bit stuck in it again. Threw them both to the side and went back to my tried and true Makita.
Today, I found you and as soon as I get a magnet, I’m going to follow your instructions. Who knows, I might have two Switchdrivers that actually work. But, I’m never buying a Worx tool again…ever. Unless, you give one a good review. Cause I trust you. Thanks.
I saved this video because in several tool and construction Facebook groups I'm in I see posts almost every day from people upset about breaking off bits in their impact. In fact I've already posted this video on Facebook in response to someone who has broken a bit. This isn't necessarily the easiest method but it is the surefire method and that's what counts. Sometimes it's faster to go the surefire method and move on versus spending an hour trying to wiggle a broken bit out.
Long drill bit snapped and left the base in my dewalt DCH273. The 'get under the ball-bearing' trick here helped tremendously. Thank you 👍
Thank you, been struggling to get a bit out of my impact driver for awhile and couldn't find any good videos showing step by step.
Was changing brake pads when I broke my Milwaukee bit off deep in the driver head. 10 minutes later I was back in action thanks to you. Thank you!
This is the reason that we do what we do. Thanks so much for letting us know. Glad you got it fixed up.
Good stuff. Just broke a little deeper and just needed a couple downward taps since the ball bearing was out. Thank you!
A related tip…if you get a bit that is stuck because it twisted in the collet, there are two things to try.
1. Try using the tool in reverse while holding the bit with pliers, vice, etc. that may get it untwisted enough to remove. If not, try option 2
2. If you can get a solid hold on the bit using a slide hammer attachment, try using a slide hammer to remove it while holding the collet release. You might need a second pair of hands for this. This is why I now own a slide hammer, got a bit stuck in my impact and option 1 didn’t work. Option 2 got it out on the first try.
Good tips, thanks for sharing them. Thanks for watching.
2 worked like a charm! didnt have a slide hammer but tapped my locking pliers downward with a hammer once it was clamped onto the bit and it popped right out.
Dude you're a fking genius. Fuck that damn o-ring. You saved me from poking my fingers even more with the fking flathead. Thank you.
@@JordanSTX254 You’re welcome.
Didn't work for me. Took it apart, removed the 2 bearings and it still won't come out, I have a Kobalt 24V I also put wd40 wait one hour and nothing used, tap on the impact shaft and nothing.. Thank you everyone in advance if any other advise
Use a powerful industrial magnetic.
That works sometimes, but it sometimes requires more in depth operation.
Unfortunately the magnet kept hitting the chuck not the bit itself
Luckily keep earth mags everywhere
Small pen magnet works for me most of the time. Use a impact daily and snap 3/8 hex shank yearly.
Throw it in an MRI and gain Dr Manhattan powers
The Porter Cable impact driver I got in a package from Costco was exactly like the Milwaukee you did. Worked like a charm. Thanks!
Good to know! Thanks for sharing.
Broke a hard steel hex drive @ 1/8" under flush. Lost seven drill bits, two fingers and an eye while trying to remove it. Good thing I had some brain left to look for your video and one eye left to see it. Big thank you!
This video taught me nothing..... what am i missing?
I needed a lit magnifying ring to do this on my Makita, but was shocked how easy it was. Perfect instructions!
Saw a post last week a guy was wondering how to get a broken bit out. Good video.
Thank you very much, we really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for this video, brother! Very helpful and informative. Now, our makita driller is as good as new. 🙏🏼 Thank you, thank you! 🙏🏼
Sir you just saved me so much trouble. I’ve been trying to free a bit from my Milwaukee for two days. Thank you!!!!!!
Man, I’ve got the exact makita impact and had one break off deep inside
You saved a LOT of frustration
Worked perfectly
lol just had to make sure not to drop the ball bearings
Thank you for real!!!
Worked like a charm on my Makita. Thank you so much for publishing this!
Thank you, great information. I have shared on woodworking forums. I was thinking keeping a strong magnet or two nearby to where you are disassembling might snag any runaway ball bearing before it headed off to the abyss never to be seen again. Also if you spread a cloth about 24x24 inches out you'll have a surface that ball bearings will not roll away on.
I lost a runaway ball bearing for the makita, what size are the balls?
@@rogmeister088 were you able to find out? I lost one too
Thanks! really helpful!
Helped me fix my impact with a broken drill bit.
I've tried everything else on the internet, thank you for giving me one more option! Hopefully this will do it before I pitch a perfectly good drill!
Did it work?
Thank you for the very useful tip, my Makita is back up and running at no cost to me.
Thank you so much for this video,this happen to my tool I was trying to figure how to remove it, excellent video
Thanks! I was able to save my Hitachi driver. Two nut-picks worked pretty well to get the clamp off.
Great simple video. First REMOVE THE BATTERY PACK. Also, DeWalt outer snap ring may try to fly into stratosphere.
Had exactly the same problem, followed tutorial, had to use wd40 as bit left a long time and had corroded in. Little tricky getting snap ring back in butworks great! Many thanks from the UK! Love Milwaukee!!
Awesome! Glad it worked for you. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video, I was about to drill into the broken off bit.
This video has been the light just today! Thanks a lot
thanks, tried to drill it out first, made more work for me. glad to find your video.
Excellent. Thanks for taking the time. Helped me tremendously.
Nice one. Thanks, saved me sending it in for repairs. Took less that 2 minutes.
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! Your video just saved me from losing my mind over the order that this went back together. Excellent video. Thank you so much.
Awesome, glad we could help. Thanks for watching.
Great video, no magnet needed only 2 little screwdrivers, works for my milwaukee impact
Great video solved my problem did real quick too. Thanks for the help.
Thank you for this video, you saved me time and money. I was able to fix my impact
Thanks a lot. I looked everywhere for that C Pin on my Ryobi impact. It was stuck to the bit I was using to cut a doorknob size hole
Thank you! I thought I had lost my impact driver, but this was most helpful. I had a galvanized bit break off wayyy down inside. I actually had to take a small drill bit and drill into the part that was lodged to pull it out. SUCCESS!
So do recommend grinding it flat and going that route? I literally have down to just the head😅. I'll never use one of these bits again 😅
What drill bit did you use? I tried using a self tapping screw and it barely makes a dent in it
Luckily a magnet and small brass hammer usually does the trick for us!
Yep! That’s what I was thinking, less work. Haha.
Magnet usually does the trick, but we've had several that were twisted in the chuck. Moreso, we've had users/viewers that have posted pictures of pure destruction of their tools trying to remove a bit. Makes no sense.
Worked well on my Bosch. Unsure why the top video instructs people to bash the driver into something hard with a magnet. No tools were harmed in the making of this video.
Thanks to your through presentation I just fixed my xgt impact, cheers!!
Great video, and I have a challenge with a RYOBI impact driver with a stuck chuck collar and prevents changing the bit. So, following your detailed step by step instruction, I was able to remove the spring clip, washer and tension spring, at which point the chuck collar was still stuck. Using a tip from another youtuble video, I placed the stuck bit in a bench vise and pushed the reverse button. Success, the chuck collar loosened and I was able to remove the bit, and subsequently slide the collar off. Surprisingly, there were no bearings. I was very careful to disassemble the tool on my work bench and capture each piece in sequence as you recommended. I am curious, could the bearings have disintegrated due to my excessive use. This tool is just a week old, but I have been constructing campaign signs with 3 and 1/2 inch wood screws and salt treated 2x4s. After day four, I found that I could not remove the T25 bit. It appears to be manufactured to utilize two bearings, given that you can see day light thru the shaft from the opposing holes. Any suggestions? Have you taken apart a RYOBI impact driver? If so, did it have bearings? If I have lost my bearings (literally) how do I acquire the correct size? Thanks!
Many thanks you helped me out, I was trying to drill a mail box ended up being best to grind off old lock add new lock from a 6 hour in 2 days job to a 30 min find grind move on lessons learned, oddly my miluakee has two holes 🕳 no spring ball mechanism. The tip still wedged was able to use small screw drive to push Tru hole and move it upward this let me tap it back down and I was set free
I have yet to see a video on this subject. Great idea, STR
Thank you very much, glad we could enlighten.
When I tried using my recent purchased Ryobi brushless 18V 4 Speed Impact Driver (PBLID02) I didn't have any problems like these, and I've been using the tool in my jobsite for 3 weeks now, installing Timberloks and Spax for the Attached Deck. I got a Makita T-30 Torx bit that broke and I moved the collet forward and the broken bit ejected with ease. I guess it's because of the Ryobi collet have a strong spring mechanisms there not like my DeWalt DCF887 and Hitachi triple hammer impact driver where I have to disassemble the collet to be able to retrieve the broken bit.
Thanks for this info, proved invaluable in respect of the Makita - as I had a bit get stuck. Proved to be an easy fix thanks to you - cheers
I tried for 4 hours trying to remove stupid stuck bit hold using hammer and pliers did wot you show here in 5mins and out thank well done 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for making this video, just pulled a broken bit with your help
Glad it helped. That's why we do these. Thanks for sharing.
Hi mate I tried to do it that way in my Makita impact but after taking off the spring and washer, the collar is not coming out. Do you have an idea why is this happening? Cheers and thanks for your videos!
having the same problem, any solution yet?
@@evanmeyer817 unfortunately not. I took it to the local tool shop near my area and they couldn't fix it either. I think it needs to be sent back to the manufacturer
That's why I'm here after searching the comments. I have a DTD154 (models are sometimes different nums but close here in Australia) got the ring clip, washer and spring out but the collet won't pull off. Help
Great informative video.
Work on a cloth. Things won't roll away and get lost when they fall onto a cloth.
Lithium grease will hold BBs in place. Even in automatic transmission valve bodies.
Great points and I agree on both suggestions. We don't use a cloth, just for pure aesthetic reasons, the stainless top looks better. I probably should have used a little great to hold the BBs in. Thanks for watching.
Hi, thank you so much for yor video, but I made a mistake that put a oversize bit into the impact drive, do you have any tip to take it out?
My ryobi did this a few days ago with a super short makita torx bit. Hoping this works for me!
That happens for using the poor quality drivers that break easily. Thank you thank you 🙏👍
Great video! appreciate the big help! Finally i can use my new milwaukee impact again lol
Thank you!! It worked. I used two pointy nails. And some wd40 to make it loose. 💪
Thanks did it . Just commenting to help your channel like you helped me .
Love from Jerusalem
Followed your video, it worked like a charm. Thank you, you are best!!
Thats amazing, I have learnt it a lot, you are the men😄🌻
You're the man. I wish I would've found this video before the drill slipped and went through my thumb. 👍😬
This was awesome on a Milwaukee. Thank you so much!
On the Milwaukee, I am not able to get the snap ring back on - I bent it slightly up on one end when I pulled it out. Any tips to get it back in or should I get a replacement at this point?
Great info. However I have a P237 Ryobi impact drill. I cannot see a snap ring to pull up.
Thanks for the video.... saved me alot of headache!
...yay!!! Thanks so much!!...my bit didnt break but it was a red painted GRK bit that was made wonkey or something because even with the balls out it was still stuck!! Had to stick it in a vise and pull so damn hard haha
Any ideas for one that twisted off flush and is twisted inside of the chuck? No cobalt bits where I am at now to drill it, no punches I have will dent it enough to twist it back straight. Only thought is to completely disassemble it and try to hit from the back.
A very excellent and well done presentation.
Brilliant stuff mate. Thanks
Thanks for this video. I had one snapped this week and tried to drill it. The drill snapped and I drilled my thumb.. I will try this method now
i did this and i bloody slipped and stabbed my thin screw driver right through my finger.. bandaged up im trying to push it the bit out via the ball holes still.. bits too small to plier hold
@@RichiRothschild
I got someone to weld a small screw to the snapped bit and managed to pull it out.
Thank you so much 🎉 I greatly appreciate your lesson and Input
I cannot thank you enough litterly , my bad I didn't listen to everything I nearly lose the washer on the milwaukee , didn't wait to hear its loaded and it shot up , was looking for a good 10 minutes for it , all good now
Awesome! Glad it worked for you. Thanks for watching.
Thanks a lot! I was able to fix my impact drill 👍🏾.
How does a Bosch GDX series impact driver come apart? How dopes it differ from the three in this video?
Thank You worked perfect.
Had to file piece of metal rod down to make a pic
Thank you for your video , very helpful !
Thank you for you video help to get out the bit
Very helpful video. Very nice. Love it. Thanks.
Thank so much man, god bless your soul for this video!
Note: watchers, make sure you watch the entire video! You don’t know why😂
Works similar with Kobalt 24V Max but be warned...
It was a bit different (pun intended) but the principles were similar. Remove the locking rings (an inner and outer) then finagle the outer to release an inner casing with a washer and spring behind it., then remove ball bearings. Can confirm....they fly across the room... BUT, something happened that makes the ball bearing no longer release by bit after reassembly.
I now have an adapter stuck in my drill.... If it breaks off I will just disassemble and replace the adapter. Any tips or ideas would be awesome!
The drill has been dismantled and put back together half a dozen times, cant see anything that causes the release issue.
Thanks Tim great advice
I have an older model makita a d once i take out the spring washer and clip, there seems to be something stopping the chuck slide from coming off.
Thank you for your help
Thanks. Found this video very helpful!
You are a life saver ,thanks
It worked👍, thank you very much for your tip🙂
So helpful, just saved me a ton of time on site 🙏🏾🇦🇺
Glad it helped! That's why we do it. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video and the assist!!!
Another excellent video Mr. J 💥🇺🇲🖐
Thank you very much, much appreciated.
I was so ready for this to work but I have a cheap bit that has rotated inside the sleeve of my Makita which has locked the ball bearings in place, sticking out so I can't pull the sleeve off. It's a short bit too so impossible to get a grip on it it to try and rotate it back. Gotta find a drill press and drill through it i reckon
Thanks helped me alot!
what do you do with the driver bit head still in the extension bit or the place its still in?
Hey mate I just tried this on my xgt and got it all apart but the bit wouldn’t come out at all even with the ball bearings out i tried everything
Did you find a solution?
Is it possible to replace the whole collet? It seems to be one piece with the shaft in mine
Took me an hour or more, but I did it 😅, thanks for the video
Thanks so helpful.
Thank you!
This video was amazing, thank you so much!
Glad I found this video. It worked for me. Thank you.
Great to hear! Thanks for watching.
