Kind of describes the U.S.S.R.'s philosphy in general. Build it to last, no matter how shit it runs. I like the first part. The second... I can only understand if theres no other options that meet the first criteria, but there are. Just not in the Soviet Union where everyone had money, but nothing to buy.

Yes, but they/we "over engineered" in the past. We actually learned to engineer each part to last about the same amount of time and that time decided for the price we offer. They noticed in the past that a car junk yard had drive shafts that lasted forever, but certain other parts died too quick. So they learned to design everything for a certain amount of time/use. Not some of a thing last 100 years after the rest of it was replaced by new and the old in a trash landfill.

@@AnonymousAnarchist2 as cheap as possible while just barely meeting the quotas, not all that far off from modern capitalism, just instead of quotas it's investors and costumer satisfaction. fun fact, The USSR had a very impressive steel production, however it was pretty bad steel because the strict quotas didn't enable factories to upgrade there equipment much, as that runs the risk of lowered production during installation and re-organisation of the factory. So no matter how old the foundry is, if it still runs well enough to meet the quotas, it stays.

A lot of time when something runs like shit, it can be down to just poor maintenance or age. Lubricants dry out, parts get worn, or off balance, rubber that hardens and cracks. Things like this can be repaired with relative ease and make a world of difference. In some cases. All tools are not equal, of course.

Thank you for the education. I spent a lot of long, lonely nights in college, sitting at my desk, tinkering with these Soviet watches- sometimes succeeding, and sometimes throwing them out in frustration.

@@thedoubtfultechnician8067 Can relate, I got my start in college too with similar results. The movement you showed on camera was a ZiM 2608 from the mid-70s. Basically a center-seconds conversion of the old 2602. The USSR really extended the life of the Lip R26 design as far as it could possibly go. Not necessarily a bad thing, it being a good and solid platform even for its age. The designation of Soviet movements conformed to GOST standards, government standards to which every consumer product in the USSR had to adhere to. This would include your lovely hospital-blue drill. The 26 in 2608 stood for the diameter of the movement (26mm in this case) and the 08 indicated a movement with center seconds but no shock protection on the balance. This also means that it would be entirely possible for multiple different Soviet watch factories to produce movements of the same GOST code, despite being technically very different designs (as seen in the Raketa vs. Poljot vs. Vostok 2209s for instance.)

There was an inflation in USSR. It was seemed for Soviet citizens that there's no inflation. And prices was printed on factory. But it just because there was no any trade of civil goods with other countries. No in no out. So there was no real currency exchange. And without trade with all othere world there was no choice what to buy. And more awfull that goods was limited. And price was high. Price of this drill is 49 rub. In 1970, average salary after taxes was 120 Rubles after taxes. And there were speculations. Because of limited offer buyers was forced to pay extra money to shopmen. But the official price was correct. Or in some cases make some favor. Also, there was Ration Stamps for getting goods, cars, or even food. It was a horrible time. I'm glad that USSR is gone.

It doesn't really matter what unit is used for measurement, you just need the tools and the parts to follow ANY standard so they function for the work. While converting in metric is a simpler calculation anyone who can do middle school math proficiently will have no problem converting imperial or metric or counting the number of units to make any measurement..

But I try to always keep metric conversions in mind when I work on things and I never resist using metric measurements when I can.

@@GooglyMowgli And western companies dont provide tools? You realize that soviet union was a huge potemkin village and abundance of resources and opulence was easily offset by poor management.

Where you owned nothing and everything belongs to bosses with a strict corporate culture you have abide by or face punishment. Not so rosy and affordable now? Oh cold doctor is free wow! Ofcourse its free because they locked you in, tethered you to a lathe and made you follow ideological arbitrary rules you HAD to follow. They need you healthy-ish to work.

As a backup of my words you can search for different thematical topics, for example forum article " Профиль al13l Дрель родом из СССР " and by your logic only thing they could argue is how bad it was since no one could afford it. However, there are dozens of comments discussing their experience and not whining how they couldn't find it. Other thing is that you can find millions of cheap-ass offers on the secondary market right now, 30+ years after collapse of USSR. You could argue that just no one needs them in the era of capitalism, but by that logic soviet condenser microphone "19А-19" should also be ass cheap and not cost whole salary like they are right now. Because rare things cost much. Since your copypasta was aboud whole soviet economy, let me share an article on this topic: "Реальное ВВП СССР, России, США и других стран по годам⁠⁠" from pikabu. If short: share of industrial production of Russia in the mid 70's in the world was 20%. Again. 20% of industrial production in the midlle 70's was made in soviet russia. Of course by itself it can mean a lot of things, whole article proves my point that with soviet production capacity(I'm not even talking about military) there could not be country-level shortage you are talking about. It could be a local one, as situation wasn't solid everywhere. Even more ironic that after Gorbachev started to decommunize economy, and stand it on capitalist lines, new sellers and cooperators instead of patching old holes in soviet economy made a giant one by literally throwing away all goods. Search "СССР: Товарный дефицит (видеохроника 1989-91г.)" "No matter how bad west was , you got the money you have a drill and any accessory you want." I, indeed, have a drill. Moreover, more than one. A few of them from different times. One small issue: I live in Russia. And your fairy tales ain't gonna work on me or almost anyone who experienced living in USSR and knows when was "shortage" and when was real **shortage** . And it is reflected in sociological surveys. For example, one made in 2023 by FOM: 80 percent of Russians consider the Soviet era to be a good time, and 63 percent regret the collapse of the USSR, according to new data from the Public Opinion Foundation (FOM). 5 percent of citizens disagree with the good assessments of the Soviet era, 15 found it difficult to answer. Among those younger, from 18 to 30 years old, 64 percent have a positive opinion about the USSR as an era, among Russians from 31 to 45 years old - 79 percent, from 46 to 60 years old - 88 percent, among those over 60 years old - 86 percent. 63 percent of respondents regret the collapse of the Soviet Union, 22 percent do not regret it, 15 found it difficult to answer. 16 percent of Russians, when mentioning the Soviet Union, remember their childhood and youth, 14 percent come to mind good memories and feelings, 11 associate the USSR with a calm, stable life, 8 experience regret, nostalgia and a desire to return to Soviet times, 7 remember a good life in abundance, 6 - unity and friendship of peoples, 5 - care for people, 4 - the kindness of people, political leaders of that time and communism, 3 - stagnation and deficit, another 3 - a large country with a strong economy. So yeah. Twice as many people associate the USSR with a good life in abundance than with stagnation and scarcity. You are not fooling anyone here.

The stator and rotor are in series, the switch just reverses the polarity on the brushes relative to the stators

Nice try, but no! These are "Universal Motors" .They can work on AC or DC. They are built like a Series DC motor, not externally excited. Technically we don't use the terms "rotor" or "stator". except in AC induction motors. What we have is wound "Armatures" and two pole field windings. A lot of people do call them "rotor" and "stators", but that really isn't accurate. A very long time ago we had DC motors first and it wasn't until AC induction motors were invented that the terms "rotor" and "stator", came into usage. The motors are distinctly different and the terminology should not be used interchangeably. In order to change the direction, the current is reversed going through the brushes and the armature in relation to the field windings. Universal Motors are configured as Series motors because they immediately produce a lot of torque. We use gearboxes to slow the output speed. The armatures spin very fast, where as in AC induction motor, the speed is dictated by the AC frequency. These only exist in a single phase format. Your description of operation isn't horrible, just the terminology isn't accurate. Although universal motors can work on AC, the motor design and construction are that of a DC motor and not an induction motor. Therefore the proper terminology is that of a DC motor. In almost all AC induction motors, we don't use brushes because no supply voltage is fed to the rotor. Current in the rotor "windings', (usually cast aluminum vs. copper wires), is induced from the current that runs through the stator windings. The stator windings are symmetrical vs, the individually wound poles of DC and universal motors. Starting torque is much less and quickly drops off with load. There is an exception in the AC induction family, called a "wound rotor motor". These are 3 phase AC induction motors which have copper winding in the rotor, which are connected to "slip rings" through brushes. (not a commutator like the DC and universal motors. The wound rotor motor has high starting torque and offer adjustable control of torque and speed. Typical application is a hoist winch motor on AC cranes. They are not very common and modern AC variable frequency drives can produce similar characteristic electronically using regular AC induction motors. You won't find these motors in any household appliances. As an Electrical engineer, I think that sadly the internet spreads a lot of inaccurate information. If someone does videos like this they should start with the disclaimer that they aren't educated engineers and that the video is foe entertainment purposes.

@@professorg8383 It's all correct, but i call it roror because it rotates.

@@TheOriginalEviltech I understand the logic and the stator is stationary. But I'm an engineer and a real professor who teaches, so I lean toward using the proper terms. When I read misuse of such terms the alarm bells go off telling me the individual doesn't really know what he's talking about. If I read "the spinny part" and the "bolted down part" , I know that they aren't trying to sound like they know more than they do. I suppose we could all just make up our own terms for things, like little children often do. But when we are talking about a technical field of study, we should try to use the correct terminology. "Rotor" and "armature" are technical terms foe two distinctly different parts of two types of electric motors. The terms are not interchangeable or generic in nature

That’s because there was very little outside exchange in the Soviet Union. The market was very much internal and only to Soviet citizens. It was also quite hard to get your hands on one of these things. Sure, it might’ve been very affordable for your average Soviet proletariat, but the wait times were brutal. The Soviet Union (and a lot of other communist countries) had a very short supply of higher quality electronics, consumer goods, and yes even power tools.

The Soviet drill probably lasts for the rest of your life if you treat it carefully, even if heavily used. A modern drill probably fails after 2 years if heavily used. PS: and if it fails the Russian drill is easy to repair, while most modern electric devices are built in a way that makes repair all but impossible.

It does, thank you.

Wonder if they got NPT from the Lend-Lease. We sent millions of tons of stuff, including machine tools from the US to the Soviets.

Heat is the function of current and not voltage, though, but it's a good point. So your advice is for high current applications, regardless of voltage.

Actually lower voltage stuff typically deliver much more amperage Just compare the wires you see in a car and the ones inside your home 200w @ 220v is 0.9A 200w @ 12v is 16A Solder is fine for mains application, just look inside any power supply and you'd see them solder wires directly into the PCB

This feels like as good a place as any, though, to point out that the withdrawals from Codeine are comparable to those from Heroin (I said 'comparable', not the same, and yes, I do have experience of both, before anyone comes on telling me 'Buddy, you don't know Jack~sh1+!') - so yeah, in the same ball~park as Heroin, but for relatively negligible pain~killing ability compared to your over~the~counter options×, and, for what it's worth, pretty negligible 'buzz' as well. My point being, if it's helping with 'your' pain (not _you_ specifically), great, but the sooner one can taper off that stuff, the better. And for those messing about with it in search of a high, Codeine is serious business - there really are better highs available for the same stakes! (Hopefully I don't need to add, that is not meant as encouragement!) ×'DF118' (No doubt it goes under something snappier sounding in the States) is probably a better - and worse - option in this respect, but if your croaker has you on that, s/he might be better off considering the non~opiate, Lyrica - horrendous withdrawals, horrendous side~effects, but actually decent potential to hit pain, or certain types of pain anyway. Yes, you can also get a bit of a 'dunt' off it, but again, especially for what you get, really, _really_ not worth it. PS - To the O/C, you have my serious respect for knocking the opiate pain meds on the head, it sounds like most of what I've said here is pretty much redundant with regard to yourself. Best of luck with your continued recovery. (And I don't mean to come across like I'm giving anyone who _does_ need those meds a hard time. I'd hardly be in a position to!) "Hey Kids! Come look! I've got you a surprise!" "But Dad - we don't like Thomas the Tank Engine - we're 12 and 14!" "Well, Daddy's out fourteen hundred _bucks!_ *So you damn well like him NOW, savvy?!"*

@@richiehoyt8487 hydrcodone, morphine, oxycontin for starters. Then ambien for sleep, and more. I feel for those who become addicted. I was able to quickly wean off and stop. Now, I absolutely dont want the stuff and refuse it when offered by doctors. I am constantly in pain, but the drugs dont fix it and in fact simply make you not care about the pain but also anything else.

Though this was about drills, not drugs.

Next video!

That's the cloud around cordless tools. Less run time. But think of the convenience!

That would’ve been funny- where were you when I was making this video??

You should remember who saved you from your so friendly kingdom of Sweden....you wouldnt be a Finn if there was no Russia. Remember that when you again have russophobic toughts. What a tool🤢

Its just a sign of murican exceptionalism and hegemony. Simple as that.

ConEd stopped distributing DC in 2007.

You, sir, have a deal!

@@thedoubtfultechnician8067 I hope it is fine with you, I have shared this video on my channel. Since I watched it I have thought about it a couple of times thought the day and I just found it fascinating so I think more people should see it. I don't have a big subscriber count, but I still hope it helps you out on your way to 10 000 000+ views, because this video surely deserves it!

Smaller and lighter? You mean made more cheaply and out of inferior materials?

@@0hn0haha this soviet drill is basically a motor with a pistol grip bolted on and a drill transmission on the front. I wonder what other things used these motors

So $193.55 after inflation in todays money

Another comment pointed put the 49 on the drill was 49 rubles (most likely 1970)

Another comment said there was no inflation, though you will need need to adjust for post soviet inflation

Bro have you TRIED unbolting Jep YJ body panels?

America just recognizes it when they see fit...so if it was German,they would sue....but if was a yank....they would attack Belgium and Haag. So.....

You don't know how true. Actually, hammer and vice grip. Sometime the vice grips serve as the hammer, eliminating the hammer.

It is! Had it for years. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I have 240v 3 phase in my garage- quite rare in the US in a residential building. I use it for my old two post lift. I wish I had a VFD- I use an old fashioned rotary phase converter.

If you have reflexes like a snake you can get away during the zero crossing moment. This guy has a lot of snake like traits too so I think he'll be OK.

High voltage DC REALLY scares me. No zero crossing moment. You’re on there ‘til you’re medium well.

@@thedoubtfultechnician8067 pure DC is such a rarity though. A lot of it is pulsed or glitchy for whatever reasons.

Next time present it as a PSA, not enough people know this and win Darwin awards for grabbing stuff the wrong way.

The US is 120/240/480 iirc, but homes only get 120/240 standard.

I can only really speak for Germany, but here pretty much every house or apartment gets 3-phase 400V (very old ones sometimes do not).. Try to run an electric oven plus something on the stove on 235v single-phase, it won´t work that well. And if you got a continuous-flow water heater, they come with 18, 21 or 24kw, that definitely only works with all three phases, each with a 32A fuse. Regular outlets and lighting of course run a single 235v phase to neutral (16A fuse), all the circuits in the house are evenly spread over the three phases (which of course does not always result in even load, noone really knows what the tenant will plug in where).

​@@sthenzelNice. I'm from Romania and here almost all residential flats have 25A single phase (newer ones have 32A) Houses on ground (2-3bedroom) have 32A single phase and 60A single phase if newer. Bigger houses or on request can upgrade to three phase 60A. More than 60A is availabale but with huge costs to get bigger cables or even install a trasformation unit nearby. On my house in the countryside i have 60A three phase for an old soviet mill and metal lathe. At business higher voltages and special contracts are available. At work we have a dyno for cars up to 200kW (in electric dyno motors) and up to 500kW in generation (the car engine turn the dyno motors in braking generating electricity back to mains.. this works on 10kV line with a special transformation unit in the lab with the dyno. Special needs with special solutions.

OP probably means the primary is divided that way for houses from the distribution point, for load balance concerns. Like sthenzel says, most if not all houses would have multi-phase (2 or 3) power outlets for at least the stove.They look special and are only used for that purpose I think. Then you can of course get 3-phase outlets installed in other places if you have the need. Probably the garage, for welding and such. Used to be from some really fifties industrial looking sockets. Much like that Fallout looking drill. If someone just showed me those drills without branding on, I probably would have guessed the US one was the USSR because of it. But I suppose the design language makes sense now. ;)

@@AltCutTV yes. I wonder how three phase work in US. Having 180degrees two phase as standard.. any 120degrees three phase is hard to do i guess without power losses. Maybe it's another distribution point just for three phase. Or maybe it's a 6phase 60 degrees apart and three two-phase 180 deg apart is routed for two phase and two 3-phase 120degrees are routed for three phase.. which also leaves the option for single 6phase 60 degrees).. just speculating here.. idk how us system work. I'll dig deeper on google since it made me curious. What i said is that all distribution point in most EU is three phase 400v and single phase 230v. This single phase is just one phase out of the same 400v 3phase. EU does not use two phase at all (it would be wonky to have 330v 240degrees apart two phase)

Thanks for the info!

Wrong they make at as minimalistic as possible

They made it simple because it had to be as cheap.and rugged as possible. User experience wasn't a concern.

Has less to due with the country but rather the different times. Old American tools were work horses too man just look at his craftsman 😂

@@Dan_711 yep, but I still think that craftman is a little overengineered. Same principal like M16 vs Kalasshnikov

@@Dan_711 I have the experience of many US tools being rather clunky. With some exceptions ofc. For a great while you could only depend on things like Snap On being made for humans and not Gorillas. My experience with old russian things are that they are made to be repaired..easily. Fit and finish comes at best second if it's not one of the important bits. Imho things that are easily repaired and serviced will last for a very long time.

I'm pretty sure the average American citizen could buy one for 1/8 of their paycheck while the Soviet citizen had to use half of their paycheck

@@Davids6994 Not to mention the Soviet citizen was not allowed to use tools they would typically use for labor to sell to other people. All labor was public (owned by the authoritarian state), so there was little incentive to privately own tools aside for hobbies.

Well, it wasn't. It was more than 1/3 of an average monthly paycheck. Besides, it was much harder to buy because power tools were considered "for professional use" by the government, so they were produced in fairly small quantities. People mainly used crank-driven "egg-beater" manual drills, knockoffs of Millers Falls drills from the thirties.

@@Davids6994 That's true, but it is still a comparison between a high grade tool and a cheap one.

@@Davids6994 Maybe, its hard to know since the craftsman powerdrill has no price tag. But thats still no fair comparison, since in USSR e.g. healthcare was free for all, while in america the paycheck also needs to cover any medical expenses.
