Here's an example of what a worn-out brush looks like. -- www.strippittech.com/Brushes-Wornout.jpg
Randy James. Thanks Randy, that will really help out
seejanedrill So Leah I have a question. With all of these new brushless power tools coming out is it better to buy those or stick with a brushed kind? Are the brushless going to last forever or is it just a way for manufacturers to keep you from replacing brushes and keeping a tool for 10+ years and them losing money? Thanks for the input.
@@nathanreed3302 : The brushless have more power, use less electricity and last longer. They cost a lot more though so you get to decide if it is worth it.
@@adama1294 brushed usually have more torque. And Brushless usually have more speed or RPMS. And yes there is a difference. I personally like brushed because you can replace brushes yourself. And brushless motors have computer chip that's expensive to replace. And requires more skilled hands.
Very helpful! Thank you.
I cannot like this video enough. I checked it out and my free dead router just needs new brushes. You’ve probably saved me $150. Lady, you rock!
Thanks, Terri!
Leah is just full of handy tips on a variety of subjects. Definitely a RUclips treasure.
Hi Leah.
You are without doubt my favourite person in RUclips land.
I love your very informative and sincere approach to your presentations. Every video is useful to me as a DIYer. I haven't come across a single one that hasn't benifited me in some way. Thank you so much for putting in the time and effort to make them.
The4thDensity what a lovely comment! She is great!
Me too
The4thDensity
Hey; can I be your second favorite person in RUclips land?

Nah, mediocre at best.
I'm only kidding, I'll check out your channel.👍
Yes, she is truly a great teacher.
This may have been said already, unplug the power prior to looking at the brushes.
Some more indicators:
Is the tool getting hotter than usual?
Do you see the blueish arcing when in use?
Do you smell ozone (electric motor smell)?
Many, many vacuum cleaners being tossed out just need new brushes.
I have a container that I stash all my decent brushes from dead tools. Have quite the collection 👍🇦🇺
Leah. I’ll never know why you don’t have a DIY show on HGTV entitled “You Can Do This!” I love your videos!
I was surprised at how few people know about these! I have changed them on a few power tools and a few months ago I changed them on my washing machine and saved a fortune! 👍🏼
Dear Leah,
As an electrician, I am very impressed with your wonderful way of explaining what could be a difficult concept. You I don't catch all of your videos but when I do you never cease to impress me. Please keep up the good work and thank you very much.
Robert, as an old, OLD goat now retired I find Leah to be the single most articulate presenter on RUclips. She can simplify most any concept and make it understandable to we dummies. By doing so she saves people money and gives them the CONFIDENCE to attack projects they never thought they could do. I spent decades in the trades but still learn things from Leah. I can't IMAGINE what a novice gains from her.
You can go on her page and see all of them.
BRUSHES are a Power Tools "BRAKES"
If your tool does not stop spinning when you let go of the trigger that's the first sign your brushes are bad
If there are sparks shooting out when you pull or let go of the trigger that's the second sign that your brushes are bad
If you have a lack of power that's another sign that your brushes could be bad
You have the heart of a teacher. I love your teaching technique. Thank you.
you're very welcome, and thank you!
She's a natural. Some people got, most don't.
Leah 2 years ago you showed me a simple tip that saved me hundreds of dollars and I was able to sell my house today I saw this video just browsing the internet you are a life saver keep the videos coming and thank you for saving us money and time.
Regina Allen Congratulations on selling your house. :)
Another good video. One of the charms of HF is that they sometimes include bonus spare brushes. I just got their 10.5 amp SDS Max hammer drill and it came with a pair.
This woman needs bombarded with sponsors.. most all of the other youtube channels I see or watch are for people who already do some kind of wood working or metal working, leah is introducing this industry to new people, so why wouldn't sponsors want to advertise here?? Rather than competing with people who already have their fav brands, their is the opportunity to make all kinds of new customers right here, not to mention, the benifits that leah would get from having a bunch of sponsors. . Not that she needs them but hey, I don't need 3m to sponsor me, but I'd sure love to have an unlimited supply of tape.. no what I mean vern??
It occurs to me that Leah is of a different era. I expect she'd balk at being sponsored by anyone whose products she didn't ACTUALLY believe in. There are a few people with that kind of integrity still around. It may make it harder for her to get sponsors. On the flip side her subscribers are the kind that will buy what she recommends. In my trade (retired) there IS no manufacturer of equipment today I'd recommend over any other. Thay ALL cut corners and make inferior products. Some have been at it a long time and in the past were companies with pride and integrity. Today they're all (in my opinion) crooks. No matter who makes it you're getting the same piece of garbage wearing a different skin. But not ALL companies and industries have fallen into that morass. I hope Leah gets hooked up with some good folks and expands her channel. She's a gold mine for DIYers, newbies in the trades and others, old goats like me who enjoy good work.
Tom Swinburn I'm talking about possibly 3m supplying her with electric tape, or painters tape, dewalt, or someone keeping her in brad nails, stuff like that. anybody would take a deal like that. or at least I would hope that they would. I'd love to have an unlimited supply of tape.. by your philosophy, your saying that a person like jimmy diresta is a sellout.
Being sponsored ruins channels
@@rocketman6478 can't believe how old the dewalt saw was. no yellow?
I'm SO glad I read your comment completely through. That last line brought back some great memories.
They are lots of RUclipsrs out they that does these kind of tips, but they seems like they're talking down to the viewer. And seems like they are in a hurry. And don't really explain it much.
Leah gives a nice detailed explanation. Takes her time explaining it. Isn't talking down to the viewer, and not in a hurry.
Thank you, Lord baal.
Wow! That’s some great power tool tips Leah!🤓 Just think how many power tools could be kept out of the landfills too! 👏🏻 Take care, -Paul
Paul Peck. Hey Paul
Leah ALWAYS has the most interesting and helpful topics in her videos. You’ll always come away from watching with valuable knowledge.
Thank you so much, Clint, as always!
So cool. Thank you for the time you put in to these videos. You are a gift to the world.
I am so grateful for these videos! I always try to do things myself and your videos are such a HUGE help! Thanks!!
Thanks for another great video.
We use foam cutting saws, at work. I've had to change their brushes, several times. Characteristically, I've found if the brushes are wearing out, the saws usually start making a clacking sound or they start and stop intermittently. Sometimes they just won't start at all.
Changing their brushes is quite tricky, because we have to take the entire plastic housing off. The brushes connect the same as usual, but they have a spring that's not held in a sleeve. If I'm not careful, the spring can go flying out, and it's really difficult to re-locate into position. Last time it took about ten minutes just to re-install the spring, before installing the new brush.
Thanks Leah! I always wondered what those springy spares were that came with my grinder. And I love Rite-in-the-Rain!
Kevin Micallef me too..lol
Thanks Leah, you never cease to amaze me with the professional presentations. They are clear and to the point. I have been tinkering around for over 55 years however always am impressed with your presentations. 👍
I just love how well she explains things!!!
Thank you for teaching us , you make things seem so easy and doable!
Thank you. I always learn good stuff in every one of your vids, Leah. Thanks
Girl you are a gem, I love DIY and stumbled over a lot over the years, since I've came across your channel though , you can't imagine how much you've helped threw your videos . ✉️❤️ from Scotland UK
Mind. Blown. Thank you for what you teach and how you teach.
I was wondering what that was in my power tool kit. You are a life saver Leah. Have a great Christmas and great New Year!
Great lesson. Thank you Leah.
Leah you are the greatest. I love your videos. I always learn something. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
Thank you for all your guidance
I had left out my circular saw out in the rain once. A few days later it wouldn't work the same way unless I banged it with a hammer while pulling the trigger. I decided to take it apart and clean the brushes and commutator (shaft) with a fine sandpaper and voila! It worked like new after that. I think sometimes the combination of moisture and debris/dust can cause build up that affects the effectiveness of the brushes rubbing against the commutator (shaft).
Best!
1.Those antique DeWalts were built to last.
2.I am impressed how you take the time to explain simple tasks to the rest of the public.
I have been working in and out of the wood shop for years.And,I can honestly saw,you know what your explaining to people over many years of experience with tools.
Me,I be been a carpenter for 30+ yrs,and it's the simplest things that the public needs.You are very good at explaining things.One day,I'd like to build a simple Bird House with you,just to say I tinkered around the shop with you.
Keep doing what you do,even if I never get to build a simple Bird House with you.The public needs individuals like yourself to walk through the steps.
👍
I learned something new today. Thanks Leah!
Fantastic video! Very helpful. Thank you.
Leah your tips are just what We homeowners need,! 😀😀 Thank you so much,,All the way from England,👏🏻👏🏻👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Wow ! Another home run Leah .... thanks. I was reading about this a long time ago but the video brings it to life. Got it !
I never knew what this was. You always amaze me thank you 😁
Growing up, I had several '60's and '70's Dodge's (Chrysler products). Unlike Fords and GMs, Chrysler had not sealed their alternators yet. I replaced brushes when they were out. Thank you for pointing out that these little brushes are in some of these tools that I now use and can deal with
Very good info. Thanks for the tip on sharping my multi tool blades you saved me money and they work like new.
Yes I can!!! Thanks to you Leah🙏🏾💪🏾❤
This is awesome! Going to Amazon right now! You're awesome Jane!!!
Glad your video popped up! Just got a rotary hammer and it came with a couple. Now I know how to swap them. Thanks, Leah!
Is a great thing to know. You are always showing me something I did not know. Love to learn.
I already had tons of love and respect for Leah before watching this video. That jumps a magnitude when she pulls out her trusty pocket knife.
Love your channel and your knowledge is Amazing! Thank you very much Leah! GodBless!
Thank you for all your tips. I have used a few.
Yet another great video for novices and tradesmen alike.As a retired mechanic and someone who started woodworking with Dad at age 8 or 9, I've always repaired repaired my power tools if repairable. I've bought or mostly been given many power tools at yard sales that dont work well or at all anymore. A quick brush replacement costing next to nothing, and most times away they go for several more years.When power tools come with a spare set of brushes, I immediately write on the little bag which tool they're for and I store all my spare brushes in a multi-drawer organizer onthe workbench, so I always know where they are. If the tool instructions have a parts diagram, I'll try to remember to write the brush part no. on the bag too.
These are so comforting. Thank you.
I can’t thank you enough for your tips! It’s the KIS method and I’m lovin it, thank you!!!
Leah! I love your show. Thank you.
Very useful and thanks again for another great video.
FANTASTIC video, Leah! This is a small yet critical thing many people don’t know about power tools. I’m so happy you did a video on this. Your explanations were great. As a side note, more power tools are now “brushless”, but for those of us using or buying older/used tools this is a huge tip. Kudos to you for this and all your other excellent videos. Keep up the great work! 👍🏼
I learn so much from you! Thanks, Leah!
you're very welcome, Kathy!
Leah I can't thank you enough for your channel and your knowledge. I honestly did not know about the brushes in power tools and the belt in the vacuum. Also the bath silicone diy video was so useful. I am also looking at doing our kitchen, so that advice was just eye opening. God bless you and thank you for sharing.
you're very welcome, and thanks so much for watching!
I LOVE YOU LEAH! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
Fantastic lesson. Thanks for sharing
you're welcome, Scott, and thanks!
I assumed with it being so easy the price would be prohibitive for the brushes. Pleasantly surprised how cheap and readily available they are. I never thought I'd look forward to a broken power tool. Now I plan to head out to the flea market and some yard sales this weekend and see if I can find some tools that aren't working. And if it's raining I'll just use my Rite in the Rain products (I've been using them for years because I hike and backpack quite a bit and they're invaluable).
I've been spending more on brushless tools lately and now I regret it :)
So clever. Thank you!!!
I have the same Milwaukee circular saw for 42 years. Changed the brushes maybe 3 times. Still using it
Good to know this info. Your the best informative person in your field. Thanks for top notch videos.
Thx Leah for the info
Very helpful video, thank you.
Thanks Leah! This tip is genius :) They have the brushless power tools now but the tool companies sell them at a premium. It'll be a long while before brushless is the standard.
Eric Sorensen think the brushless cost more because they use more copper but they are creeping down in price.
I restored a mid 1950's Kitchenaid mixer by cleaning it up and replacing the brushes, Still works like a champ today!
You're a good teacher! Thanks!
Great video Leah! Thank you from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 👍
Thank you for the lesson Leah. 😁
Thank youfor showing a variety of instances!
Salty Diarrhea it's my pleasure
As always simple and beautiful information... Pls keep it up!
Thank you for all your great videos and info. You have helped my husband and I out many times. I tell all my friends and family about you and your videos.
jan whipple 😊
Thankyou for you great on the point videos. Just a little tip The screw in holders for Brushes are very easy to damage. Do not screw in with a lot of force, be gentle. Easy to forget when your power tool is playing up.
I have always thrown away the brushes because I had no idea what they were and couldn't figure it out! I've learned so many new things from your videos. Thank you for what you do!
Thank you so much for your videos!!
I learn so much from you!! You are amazing!
WOW! Thank you Leah, You just Awesome.
thanks, Paul!
Great tip Leah, thanks!
Wow leah! I been using power tools for a long time, i had no idea about this. This was a very good tip. Thank you.
Love your videos. I learn so much from them. Thank you!!
I love watching your channel Leah. 😁👍
Leah, you rock! Thanks for sharing!
thanks
Great video! Thank you.
Jane drill is a jack of all trades thanks.
Good stuff Leah!
WOW! I'm kicking myself for throwing away so many tools! Thanx Leah, your great!
great tip!! thanks Leah!
you're welcome, David!
Just another example of the fine teaching provided by Leah.
thank you, Jack.
Awesome!!! Thank you, I was just about to by new drill
Gotta love Jane!
I agree , I still use late 1950's , early 60's power tools that were thrown out in the trash...changed brushes and away we go....
That’s so awesome thanks Leah.
Thank you Leah
Thank you for your videos.
Another awesome video!
Wow thanks for the info
I knew about the brushes in my power tools , but loved your video and your presentation I imagine lots of folks didn’t know about them and would go out buy a new tool like you say. Take care and can’t wait till your next video.
thank you, Wolly!
Thanks for another great addition to my tool education!!
Thank you for reminding me of those. My Dad kept those on hand all of the time. He was a cheapskate and jack of all trades anyway. That’s what he use to replace in his old silver metal drill. He still has it 40-some-odd or more years later.
Oh, you're awesome! Unfortunately, I found this video a year too late - I already replaced a drill. But they won't get me next time something stops working, thanks to you! Thank you Leah!
Watching your vids relaxed my mind
Leah,.....where would we be without your helpful tips? This information is awesome and very useful thanks for saving me some money.
Joe De Jesus. It's my pleasure
