27:00 Cant stress enough to check or at least, use a bit of heat and flux to Re-Melt the Solder joins to the Coil windings .. Believe it or not "Dry Solder joints" Can exist and are easily Fixed, before throwing away good windings .. IMO ... Otherwise Good Investigation and teaching 👍👍
Thank you for the great video. You dug into pulling the motor assembly apart further than i would have gone, basically, mostly a time factor. But the testing point procedure is what caught my attention. Most of my reciprocating saws were pawn shop purchases about 15 years ago. Other than replacing or fixing a power cord or disassembling a trigger switch that's about all I've done to them. Thanks for the educational video
I heard a guy from the Deep South call it a sawz y’all, sounded so funny that it stuck and now I can’t unsay it! I admit that I feel the same way about just tossing my tools and buying another. I would rather give a try to see the issue and repair it. Sure in a bind buy a cheap one at hobo freight, and repair the old one when I have time, but I just hate to throw away a tool especially if it’s something so small. Unless it’s a flux capacitor, or something WAY outta my league lol Keep up the great work my friend, And as always looking forward to your next video!
Hey Troy, I did go buy a new one, however, I'm going to take George's tip, and try to solder a new winding lead on, if I can get to the burnt end without wreaking the winding. I wish I had a "Flux Capacitor", I would learn how to fix it...maybe an apprenticeship with the Doc! Lol
Good Job, thanks for the video. I was trying to understand if I need to disassembly my saw of the similar type to clean it after a dusty project. It doesn't look like that to me now. 😂
Good try Alvin ! I have an old dewalt recipe saw and it be came a loaner, thought it was a gooner a few time but still works. Amazingly tough, was amazed at how strong the gear box is, took it apart to lubricate one time and it showed very little wear.
Hello Alvin. Well, it was worth the try. It would be off to Harbor Freight if it was me. As a matter of fact, they have one for $30 (US). I have repaired windings like that on my shop vacuum.I found where the lead goes into the winding, exposed it, and soldered the lead back on. Good luck if you try it. George B.
Hi George...I went out and bought a new saw, mostly because I need to get the old parts car salvaged. However, I am going to try your suggestion, and find the end of the winding to solder a lead back on...there's nothing to lose at this point! Thank you for the suggestion...with luck I will have a spare reciprocating saw on hand. 😎
Hi John...Bev got a good laugh from your comment! 🤣 This is not over yet...George made a great suggestion on how to repair the winding, I'm going to give it a try! No quitter here...yet! Lol

I got the problem on my armature parts. It was broken 2pcs to contact brush.. but your armature part is still good
My 25 years old Sears receptacle saw finally crapped out, went to Harbor freight bought a Warrior saw, $30.
Good Job, thanks for the video.

I bought that saw in 2004, I've used the heck out of it over the year, they sure are tough! 😊
