Morning, as a FEIN drone we wanted thank you for posting the video. It's rare that anyone that works in the manufacturing sector really knows what the inside of their products look like, so this has been a real education. You make some great points based on your investigations, some based on fact some based on hypotheses, but all valid opinions. The sticker thing, we 100% agree with and will be re-feeding back into the manufacturing team. The tools are completed by hand in our factory in Germany so this should be an easy fix. As for the giveaway, this was unfortunate but we will stay clear in the future - it was one of those 'trying to helpful' but ended up being less helpful moments. Keep up the good work.

I feel like at some point down the road AvE will just develop his own language. Of course none of us will realize it, we'll all just be jibber jabbin away in this here comment section learning the language as he says it. Then one day we'll send out friend a real boobyjizzler of a video and they'll just look at us like we're nuts watching a man speaking gibberish in his wife's sewing room.

Hey AvE, The company I work for has 20 or so of these Fein machines and it falls to me to do the repairs. You were on the right track to remove the armature, use the heat and tap method. You use a heat gun to apply a little calorific excitation to that fine chunk of cast aluminium and then tap the case down against the vise jaws. The armature will pop right out. I believe they are installed that way to keep the vibration form tearing up that aluminium piece the armature bearing is mounted in.

Why does it only go to 6 instead of 11? Because 6 in German is Sechs. Which is super similar to the English word "sex". The German word for 11 is Elf. No one wants a tool that has a max speed of Elf.

I heard you comment on the clamping connectors they used to connect the power cord and I thought to share some connector design knowledge and explain why they made a perfect choice using the spring loaded clamping terminals. Although you naturally would feel that screw terminals are a better choice because you can tighten them down really hard they are actually the worst connectors you could choose from. The absolute wire termination force on a wire connection is totally irrelevant. The problem with screw terminals is that they are not flexible. Over time and without exception screw terminal connections will eventually loosen up due to micro movements caused by temp cycles and vibration. Subsequently, the space formed between the wire and terminal will slowly fill up with oxides and this will result in an increasing connection resistance and eventually will cause connection failure. Spring loaded terminals on the other hand are keeping a constant pressure on the contact area and, as a matter of speaking, are 'refreshing' the contact area continuously in harsh conditions. Spring loaded clamping connectors are even known for their ability to decrease contact resistance over time. A perfect connector choice for this application.

AvE, the person in industry who "took you to task" was half right and you were as well. The PA (Polyamide or Nylon) is in fact "filled" with glass fiber, how ever the glass fiber is acting as the reinforcement and the polymer is the matrix, you're absolutely correct when saying "glass fiber reinforced" and should continue to do so. In industry, the term filler is commonly used to refer to a cheap substance, ie calcium carbonate, saw dust etc. that does not typicaly enhance physical properties. Sincerely, a plastics and polymer engineer.

Every time I pull up your videos and think "35 minutes, damn it". Then I try to skip around and miss something so I go back and it ends up taking me 45-50 minutes to get through it. You are a master of continual captivation my friend, keep up the great work!

I've been watching AvE videos for about a year now and I think this my favorite one.I don't know if I'm just drunk or what. But he's doing his usual bumblefucking in the garage but this one he has clips of his kid. She seems like a great kid and I get the impression he's a great dad. And then he goes right back to swearing and hitting things with a hammer. You're the best man, don't change a fuckin' thing. Wish there were more people like you.

Cutest kid I've seen!! Elmo and a crowbar xD

going to bed, PHONE: Bzzz (new ave video) oooooo, opens youtube.

Hey AvE, just wanted to thank you for making these awesome vijeos! I am studying mechanical engineering in my third semester in Germany right now and, being at a university, it's mostly theoretical stuff. Seeing these real applied mechanics is really interesting and entertaining. Schöne Grüße aus Deutschland!

You know AvE since I've been watching you, I've been inspired to do random tear downs on stuff I never thought about ripping apart. I'm glad to know you have a cool Father's touch to your videos. Awesome kid puts a smile on my face.

That little girl is the cutest god-damn thing I've ever seen. "I'll help you, Papa." Awww.

Next Video BOLTR: A look inside the wife's magic wand

I like this guy's narration. His reaction to shock and alarm are priceless. He's also a very astute and witty guy, which makes watching a 34+ minute video a breeze. I also needn't dismantle my Fein due to this guy's inquisitive nature.

You my friend, are a beauty of a man ! I'm in my mid 30's now and deal with tree carcasses. I'm so glad that I came across your channel as it has so much value in my day to day. This is the shit that you talk about took me 16 years to understand and learn. You put out the most basic shit out for people to understand. You remind me of the teachers I learnt from. DON'T STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING !!!!! EVER!! many thanks from Toronto Ont.

Clickspring just finished his clock. ...uh...how does that make you feel AvE? What now do we do with our lives?

Invoice from an old professional percussive maintainer: Hitting with a hammer - $5. Knowing where and how hard to hit with the hammer - $100.

This is an old video, but I totally melted by the intro 😁 I have no kids myself, but that was just precious 😊

The absolute high levels of concentrated wit in your sayings is a golden thing of beauty, sir. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.

I bought my Fein in the late 90's when their patent was still intact. It is still going strong, like the man says, it is only good for one or two jobs but for those jobs, there is nothing better. Actually there isn't anything at all other than a multi tool. Thanks for the videos

Maybe 6 is Metric for 11?

to gain access to the inner parts of the oscillating mechanism, first remove the tool change handle. Drive out the pin. on top you can now access a retaining clip. remove the clip and hammer out the shaft. this will give access to the inner workings.

I've done a fair amount of teaching of ESL students.. and these vids just crack me up. A lot of my students would actually take notes on this and come up to me after class to ask what a rippum is, lol.

Your daughter is adorable as frig. Handy with that prybar too

Most adorable Elmo ever. And I'm addicted to your channel on like a Charles Manson level of desire. ...Without all the LSD and murders, that is...

It is called a MultiTool because it can take many different tools that fit the arbor to do either cutting, scraping, grinding, sanding and such like. My Fein MultiTool is my get out of jail tool for awkward jobs no other tool can do or get too! Great video and very interesting!

Your personality is so refreshing. Reminds me of my dad talking with the town mechanic back in 80s.

35 minutes of top notch fun before the final verdict: "a proper skookum toocher".. Duly noted good Sir!

I am a happy owner of an older incarnation of this tool. Awesome thingy, powerful, light, and it really lives up to the legend.

24:08 - I thought the adage was, "if it ain't broke, you ain't trying hard enough." LOL

I just watched your video 'cause my housemate loves your language. I noted that since these tools use modified scotch yokes gearboxes, it sure looks from the schematic that the motor is simply press-fit into the gearbox with the idling yoke bearing held onto the motor's arbor with friction and a circlip. I see part #270 as the obvious motor arbor main bearing, 280 as the gearbox sealing parts, 300 as the yoke bearing, and 310 as the circlip. The whole motor arbor is simple press fit into the housing via the main bearing's friction on the motor arbor and the gearbox housing.

Of all the AvE vocabulary, "thumb detecting nut fucker" is definitely my favourite.

Pro-tip: Don't let Elmo play with the asbestos.

I bought this beauty today, actually a newer model without that pin for clamping the attachment and I gotta say it's was a love at the first sight. I don't know if they did any improvements on shock absorbing, but I can barely feel any vibrations in my hands at max rpms. It just carvs through anything like nothing. Amazing tool.

I worked at a car company, and one of my jobs was putting cert labels on. Even on a 30 - 80 thousand dollar car, they are put on by hand.

Got me watching a new video at 3am. Great job - I'm addicted.

Hard to find a way of saying how cute your kid is, without a) feeling like it could be misconstrued and b) feeling like a pansy. Nevertheless fucking adorable kid.

gods, you are so far and away my favorite youtuber; thank you to whomever or whatever sparked his decision to both start and maintain this channel.

"Are you going to help me?" "yip" Freaking. Heart. Warming!

Have you heard about the Global Village Construction Set? They're trying to create a whole array of open source designs, with the goal of being able to bootstrap the whole system. They still have a very long way to go, but they have some cool modular designs already, and it's all designed to be not only servicable by the owner, but actually made from raw materials.

Ave, you have the best videos on the internet. I fucking love it when people say it like it is.

“SAFETY SQUINTS!” 🤣😂🤣 I cant watch your videos while eating or drinking anymore cause you never know when the comedy is on its way. 😂

I’m a general contractor and do mostly interior residential remodel. Lots of trim and detailed “retrofitting “. I have put enough hours on a Fein to file suit for hearing loss. And that’s my main complaint with them, the older ones like mine at least, are LOUD!

AvE and Clickspring in one day? What is this, Christmas?

"Hot-dog down a hallway.." I learn so much from you brother.

My parents used to buy me clocks to take apart so I wouldn't ruin stuff at the house. This led to my first paid job where I worked 12 hours a day pumping gas at my dads shop. As a 12 year old working your entire summer vacation, you learn the value of the ten bucks you were paid for a full day elbow deep in solvent and covered in grease from sorting bolts. I loved it. There were so many killer hot rods rolling through I got the bug and never looked back. Your vids are funny as hell and bring my mind back to the good old days. Thanks.

About what you were saying at the start, I had the same issue with vibration when I tried one of these Fein ones. I ended up getting a Makita 18v version as it was said by a few people online to be the lowest vibration and noise compared to most others. The difference is pretty huge. I only use it about once a month, but when it's needed i find it useful, great for cutting in tight corners.

I'm the israeli guy! thanks alot AvE!!!! i still got the Bosch!!!! its still waiting for somone!!! :) thanks again!!!

you should do a teardown of your wifes magic wand

Nice vageo, quite the enrichment of your english vocabulair. About this fein tool. They are durable, at a previous job a fein supercut was bought in 2000 and it ran over a decade every week day for a few hours sawing through carbonfibre reinforced epoxy composites. Only once or twice it needed repair, shortcircuit on the electronics by small conducting carbonfibres. Seen the lifespan i think that is a achievement. Anyway thanks for the video's and sharing!

That's a mighty purty copper thumbuster ya's gots there...

cute little helper there

Spring clamping cable terminals are industrial standarad... actually screw terminals are mostly prohibited for mains voltage.Screw terminal has high clamping force, but for how long? A day? Then everything settle, mostly cables because of deformation and all clamping force is gone, completly gone and cable is holding only because of local deformation from screw. At other hand the spring clamp maintains most of its clamping force for decades and also presence of force pushing on the cable prevents forming of thick oxidation layer on cable / contact!

Something about your videos both calms and humors me. I get tied up in your successes and failures in your endeavors, and your individualist jargon pleases me.

I laughed for a solid minute when you said safety squints... Your timing was perfect

Awesome, love your videos. I also like the metal tags, a couple of Fein tools I have lost the stickers and it can be a challenge to figure out the model. Never taken apart a Fein model that new, I suspect that you need to put a bearing puller on the screw used to hole the blades down, which should pull the drive shaft assembly out. Nice Felo Screwdrivers, still the best ones I've used.

6:40 Hitachi magic wand hahahaha !! I just bought my woman one of those ain't seen her in 3 days.. Great vids. Thanks.

Ave-your personality is so funny and posetive, and your general knowledge of all things is very impressive to say the least,we don't get a lot of your brand name products here in Australia but when you do dismantle a ryobi or bosch or something we get here im always keen to learn what's inside of these tools. Love your sense of humour, if everyone had your posetive outlook on everything the world would be a much better place. 👌👍👏

Hell, my ex grew up in beautiful Humptulips Washington! Never could get my buddies in New Mexico to believe me. Between the Duckabush and the Hamma Hamma Rivers, my vocab got chooched!

not even 4 minutes in. this is a diffrent channel... i like it

"if ya cant get the thing to chooch, take it apart and clean up the shmoo" - AvE 2016

AvE has proven that the Jeremy Clarkson way of maintenance is valid. "I'LL GET MY HAMMER" As a hobby blacksmith I approve of percussive maintenance.

AvE, Dude, from a Chinook grey hair with a PhD in bio-physics...you are a superlative example of Skookum and a compliment to future generations. My grandmother taught me that the Enemy of Good is Better. But unless Folks like you tear into our normal, most things stay unknowingly broken. Thank You

On the other side, I would say a screw terminal may be prone to unscrew after long exposure to vibrations, while a strong spring loaded terminal will always have the spring pressure.

I'm oscillating with excitement

Please, please make a short out of your adorable daughter helping you with the floor. That’s just about the cutest scene I’ve ever seen on KZfaq. It’s proof you’re a good father, too.

Company I worked for had ONE, so it was switched from crew to crew depending on who was in the greatest need. Needless to say, it was used to hell and back quickly but still outlasted a great many other name brand tools. When it started acting up it was one of the few tools so handy, that I attempted to fix it in field. The tension on the push pin clamps is fine for the application. The vibration actually made the wire itself fail. Due to the clamping method used it was hands down the fastest in field fix ever. Great tool.

Huh - in many large mine sites in Western Australia, screw terminal blocks are banned, and only those spring type terminal blocks are allowed.

"Take it apaaht." Now I want an AvE commentary/rant to a EEVBlog teardown.

I love my multimaster. Used the dewalt, milwaukee, dremel and other forgotten cheap named brands. This thing whoops ass. Blades are strong and it's hilarious when someone who isn't familiar with star lock tries to use it then I show them how easy blades come off and usually I get an awe inspiring "dang..." Get one if you use them often. Buy once cry once for sure

The blown up diagram you got from their website looks like pdfs of seiko watches I use when I service them. Very helpful!

He just went from CRAZY TOOL MAN to a caring nice loving father

We got some names in Pennsylvania too. Blue ball, Intercourse, fuck I forget the rest.

Aloha AvE! I'm a new subscriber and I gotta say you are my newest hero. I have never, ever seen a review of any tool done this way. You had me cracking up and learning at the same time. Thanks for helping me make up my mind about this tool.

2:36 "Princess Auto PowerFister" 3:15 "so does your wife!" Yet more reasons why even 5 seconds of AvE is not safe to watch in family situations!

AVE I have this exact tool and love it the only thing you have to be careful with is the bear trap

"nothing special about this cord".... I disagree, it's 16.4 feet long! compared to 13 feet for the DeWalt DWE315K.

I have my fathers fein multi master , also used it a few times but well worth it . It’s has so many uses you would never think of when you don’t have the proper tool

So yeah, ran across your channel by chance earlier today.... Hours of binge watching later and you have a new fan. Beauty.

I own this tool. Here is a tip. Fein also makes the best blades. Try the "long life" variety. Don't waste your money buying another brand.

Adorable kid . . .must take after her Mother

Elmo with a crowbar really put into perspective how I miss my childhood

My lizard beer brain portman-toad a phrase based on your televidiery: "Hot dog down a Hall effect." Thanks for keeping my brain in a vice.

Oh my god, that little one is the cutest ever!

That's the cutest little daddies girl I've seen. You seem like a very good father. God bless you and yours.

Hiya,.... I enjoy watching your tear-downs and your Canadian humor leaves me on the floor. I'm one of those persons who has deep seated fear of "the dancing pixies" and almost none existent knowledge of schematics, but from watching your "V-joes" with all your attention to detail and patience in explaining the basics of how motors, AC/DC fundamentals, hydraulics, etc i am learning things that i've always wanted to lean. The one thing that i wanted to for awhile now contribute monetarily but the site that you use only excepts a donation on a monthly basis and I would prefer to donate a lump sum from time to time. I have NP sending a money order through our "snail mail" from the good old USA to PO Box up in Canada. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family!

i have one of the old super cut construction or somthing like that and it has seen some use over the years. great tool

"Shaniya Twang, the other one, and Justin Beaver." +4 double bonus

Ok we want an Hitachi magic wand teardown now for sure

CLASSIC "we fix it till it is broke" LMAO

That tile job video is my favorite video of yours. lol.

AVE, while I'm not going so far as to accuse you of fanboyism, it seems like you were defending some things you would normally be more critical of. Things that come to mind are the lack of protection that's letting in all that dust, and the wiring on the motor not being coated. The big non-serviceable part kind of raises an eyebrow too, but maybe everything in there's really well designed, I don't know. seems like a solid tool for all the reasons you pointed out, but for some reason, you didn't seem to judge it as harshly as you normally do.

Bam! I smashed the frig out of that like button! It was almost criminal.

Wow taking apart father's radio at 9 brings back memories!! I dismantled everything lol

I haven’t laughed tears running down my boat … informative, educational fun and hilarious brilliant ..! Sign me up 👍🏻😂

Dude, who makes that sexy as ish brass hammer!!?!??!

I got a Fein multi in next to new condition at a cash advanced place for $15. They didn't know what they sold :)

You know what I like about this brand (which I have never used and don't own)? I like the way the saws are almost as long as an electrical box is deep. Everyone elses are too short.

Man, I wish I could give you a gazillion likes for the commentary about the modern machinery being a bunch of over-complicated crap. I got a fair amount of machinery and have pretty much pulled the electronics where possible and went old school. Way less problems trouble shooting and fixing things later.
