Dean knows these tools better than they know themselves 😂

I just love the way you show your failures, or misjudgements too, it keeps reminding us we are people with the same kind of problems. For the rest... I just enjoy your channel and learn a lot of things about tool repair. ! 👍👍

I used to work somewhere where we actually numbered all the tools and equipment. If something was faulty, a tag was attached with the tool name, number, and the person who found the fault and took it out of the system. It made fixing kit soooo much quicker, and if you couldn't replicate the fault, you knew the exact person to talk to to find out what was wrong. Asking the big production companies that send you tools to introduce a system like that would save you and the companies a lot of time and money. Just a thought 😊👍👍👍👍👍

Always trying to save the customer money when possible, attention to detail, great service and repair. Good stuff.

I love the longer reparation videos, thanks for all your hard work in making these Dean!

Also thanks for sharing your knowledge with everyone!

[speed]

You make repairing these tools look way to easy, I enjoy watching and learning a thing or two along the way

Thank you you are awesome, God bless you

Makita in February is my vote. Would like to see the gasless version

[alexandres]

All Makitas with brush motors are easily repairable, except for brushless ones, almost all of the electronics must be changed. Over time, the good quality motor has been a champion!

Dean, my brother has the new Makita nail gun he lives over in New Zealand. He said it is not a light machine but that it really does sink the nails so well.

I have makita tools from the 70s/80s/90s/20s ❤

[Adas.M]

wating for nail guns

When I went into the trade 20 years ago, folk were telling me to avoid DeWalt because it just meant expensive repair/replacement bills for expensive tools.

I had a Makita chop saw I wanted repaired. Repair shop said £100 but new similar-ish ones were £160 then plus vat. I didn't take it in to have a discussion about money, so fix it please. It's more for its handy size and the van racking is geared up for it to fit in. Plus, £100 is cheaper than £160+vat. I find many repair shops etc.. are geared up about price. Maybe someone wants the tool fixed for sentimental reasons, it was their father's etc..

Thanks once again for your insight into power tool repair.
The bulge in the controller is a sign of overheating, on the trimmer, but as you say if the problem can't be replicated it makes for a difficult decision.

I have a very similar Trend router, probably made in the same factory, that arrived new today. Same problem as you described with included 2Ah battery, put a 5Ah battery on and works fine. Put 2Ah battery back on and works fine. I guess I was just starting it wrong, if that's possible.

Auf jeden Fall Makita Nailgun 👍im Februar

[elliejackson]

Hi Dean,
I think the new Makita might be an interesting tear down.
Cheers,
EJ

[ElMariachi]

I'm gonna go with faulty battery on that cordless router. Thanks for the repairathon.

[capk]

Have to laugh when I see the parts numbers etc written on the back of your hand - I often do that too then can’t remember what the hell they are 😂

[shifty]

YES yes yes! The new Dewalt and the Makita nail guns please! - although the Makita should take precedent!

Will you not be able to sell each bare tool new if you put it back as you find it? I would have guessed you would - re saying the patreon & YT funds only allow one or the other...

Another thing you need to preach to the viewers about Makita is not just ease of repair-ability but also the ergonomics from moulding in different places to to the shape of the handles and dimensions of the grips.

I picked up Dewalts probably most popular brushless impact the other day at work i think it was the 787 (with no speed switch) and the balance and grip felt absolutely disgusting relative to my 8 year old DTD129 and DTD172 Makitas.

This is apparent on a lot of different categories of tools not just impacts and drills.

Thumbs up.
