Repairing a whole box of Makita power tools that were sent in for repair

We live in a throw away society & its nice to find someone like you dean, if it can be taken apart then it has a chance of repairing it 👍

Regarding the Drill with the stuck chuck... I accidentially left my drill outside on a roof and it was pouring rain that night. I didn't notice until a week later when i was looking for that damn drill, when i suddenly remembered and got it back from that roof. The drill was suprisingly still working, but the chuck was stuck like yours and there even was still a 10mm drillbit 'welded' to it. I turned it upside down, so the chuck faced up. I then filled it up to the brim with WD40, and left it there for about 24 hours, casually refilling it when i saw the oil sank down into the chuck. After one day, i used a regular small pliers to unstuck it, and it still works to this very day.

It’s amazing how effectively you work No wasted movement I think you could do it blindfolded Love your channel Thanks

I have been repairing tools as a hobby for a few years now, and came across your channel. Really great stuff and very knowledgeable. Really like the new videos where you go trough a lot of tools even if the fixes are simple. It's a great way for guys like me to find out how to fix many different machines. Keep them coming and i will watch :-)

Strangely soothing watching this video... :) Always nice watching a professional at work! 👍

how many million of these tools have you fixed. fastest I have ever seen anyone fix hand tools . WOW pro.

I’ve got a few old machines I just threw in a box in the van, thanks to your videos, I’ve ordered new springs to hold the bit for the impact gun and a new chuck for my drill that got dropped down a flight of stairs, like you say I’ve tried getting tools fixed and it is usually not far off half the price of a brand new tool so I’ve tended to just ditch them and get a new 1 but il keep these 2 as spares or give them to somebody starting out 👍🏻

Great vid again Dean. Appreciate the amount of work you put in and your honest hardworking approach.

I really enjoy watching these videos. Thanks for making them 👍

Primarily all my tools are Makita so I am watching carefully all the repairs you do to the Makita tools. I Have learnt a great deal from you. Great videos and I thank you for taking the time to do them.

Love watching these videos man! Have to say you are tool genius!

Also can I request a "what type of tools I recommend to buy and for what purpose" video? For example you seem to be a fan of corded and brushless tools. And a "tools of the trade" video... Meaning all the basic tools you use daily. Just an idea for a video if you've time lad 👍

Got to give proper credit. You know your stuff. Only recently found your channel. Brilliant. You are the power tool whisperer 👍👍

Thanks!

Just came across your channel. Love watching u fix the tools that come in. Always interesting to see what comes in. Keep up the good work 🍺

personally i like loosening chucks with an imbus socket on my impact. that way you wont mess up the shaft nor the bearings. i use a huge one, a makita dtw1002, and have never killed any gears with it. learned so much from your channel, thanks!

Highly knowledgeable, a pleasure to watch.

Thanks for the video. Interesting what you said regarding brushless vs brushed for Angle Grinders. There's a few comments on here that you could have repaired more but I get the economics and like your fast triage and move on approach, especially if you only get paid for units repaired, not units examined.

Makita are some of the best to repair most parts are available and mostly not too expensive

Just came across your channel a few days ago, loven the content. thankyou 😊
