Repairing a Bosch GBH 5-40 DE Rotary hammer, FULL Service tool restoration.

Рет қаралды 82,124

7 ай бұрын

This is a Bosch GBH 5-40 DE Rotart hammer from 2008. Time and work have worn the seals and o rings inside, causing it to lose hammer action.
Looks like someone had already opened it and closed it up again incorrectly. As the change mechanism was not ingaged inside the tool. Meaning it was stuck in rotary mode.
Servicing any hammer is a stand repair after so much work. Every hammer will eventually need some sort of service to keep it hammering.
Bosch knows this and readily supplies a pre packed kit for the job.
Servicing a hammer can cost anywhere from 100 to 500 euro. Depending on the size and brand of the hammer.
But a good hammer can cost anywhere from 400 to 2000 euro.
So it will always be several times cheaper than buying a new machine.
The age and condition of the tool must be considered when deciding to service a machine or not.
When cleaning, check each part for signs of wear, especially critical expensive components like the armature, hammer pipe, tools holder crank, and torque limiter. Any excessive wear or damage on these parts can make the repair uneconomical.

I'm amazed by your knowledge of how to dismantle and repair every single tool, regardless of brand. And the way you just throw the dismantled parts around your bench without a care in the world, or worrying about which part of the tool they came from, is just outstanding! Kudos to you sir !

i'm a licesned powertool technitian and i love watching your videos. but for the love of god wear some gloves :D i used to work on tools just like you...and grease, cleaning solutions, oil and dirt damaged my skin, my nails... specially during winter.. when you constantly wash them with abrasive cleaners.. I thought I was unable to work in gloves...but eventually found a type that fits and protects...and still have a good feel in my fingers. not to mention....my wife is much happier. :D one pair costs arund 1,5 euros...and they last 2-3 days.. on a monthly basis...a few packs of cigarettes for clean and healthy hands. not to mention all the paperwork after the repair...my keyboard, papers...were all dirty and greasy.. now i just take the gloves on and off and continue with repairs.

I think you’ve got the content spot on so I’m not sure specific tool reviews are needed. I tend to take notice of what you get in for repair and why you’re having to repair it. Case in point being the Mafell MT55 plunge saw. Nearly went for one but after hearing what you said about the switch fitted it put me off. In comparison you had nothing negative to say about the Festool TSC55 you rebuilt. This helped me choose. Having said that though I did enjoy the strip down of the Parkside and review of the intervals for that. Enjoy watching and learning all the while. Keep posting your efforts are appreciated by us all.

i can say right away - makita and bosch are great bang for buck on hammers and battery tools. but it's more about a whole tool platform...when you choose a brand...you should stick to it, cause od battery compatibility. for precision, durability and ergonomics... would say hilti and festool. but makita is my personal favorite... quite cheap and simple to repair and service, has a full range of battery tools.... has some great tools that are unchanged for decades....and available parts for 40 year old tools.

Would love to see some reviews and your point of view for different brands like - build quality, -durability/long life - for professional and home use and tools that have potential to be used in startup of small business, - price/performance, - what to stay away from. Also levels of use for tool in different classes... for exp. there are a lot of Bosch drilling hammer tools for construction. It would be great to have an idea where is the border where you don't overbuy for your need. For one big project like punting up a house you need something dependable for a short period but not the most expensive hammer. Maybe reviews Of Parkside from Lidl and Ferrex from Aldis/Hofer. They sell a lot of machines. Are they all garbage or is something good to own from there? In a recent video you commented that Milwaukee tools are not so good, DIY tool with hefty price. I have been quite surprised, a lot of businesses use them including at my workplace and I have been considering buying my next tool from them. Bullet dogged.

after hundreds of machines it's simple as breathing. i repair mostly makita tools, and i can replace an armature and full service kit on a hammer under half an hour. cleaning parts takes most of the time....putting apart and assembly is quick and easy...you just need 3-4 years of experience. it's even easyer if you specialize just one tool brand. for example...where i live is mostly bosch and makita... and once in a while i get metabo...dewalt or milwaukee.. basically they operate on a same principle...but have some diferences on how they are put together...or tools needed fot the repair. this is a great channel, work seems very complicated for a average Joe.... but for us technitions...it's a walk in the park. plus..if you have something complicated...all brands have excellent aftersales and tech support, with diagrams, part numbers and even assembly numbers for putting parts back together. but i can't remember when i last used that. ,

@deandohertygreaser 3 ай бұрын

There is no real logic behind it. One grease will do fine. I simply like to use the heavy bosch grease when building the machine. The finish by filling with the correct grease. The heavy grease will help male a better seal and protect the greases on startup bit it will quickly mix together after a few seconds running. So it make no odds it really just makes less mess for me when rebuilding.

@markopetrunic7598 7 ай бұрын

GSH and GBH hammers use the same armature, but that's where most similaritys end. different tool holder, no selector rings, no selector, no gears, no clutch. GSH are much simpler than GBH, thus lighter and better for just one operation - as a demolition hammer. there is no way you can add a drill function on a hammer. next time just buy a tool with both functions. that hammer has it's use - for plumbers and electritians and instaling piping and cables.

Thanks for sharing and showing me how it works, Dean. I've ran this machine enough to know to watch my skinny legs when drilling down through rock filled concrete, or elbows when drilling at shoulder height through 12" foundation; it'll kick your butt if you let it. Quality drill, I will attest. Does this same design model get larger? It's nagging me that it does; the one I frequently used had that design, just seems a bit smaller. It ran big, and long bits, got heavy sooner than later, and I broke a 140 dollar 1 ⅜ bit on stone if that is relevant information.

Dean, Thanks for another excellent video. I would NOT like to see you working on cheap brands etc. There is enough cheap rubbish in this world and it is entirely that you taking some of it apart would simply confirm the obvious, e.g. cogs made of plastic, no replacement parts available, uneconomic to repair and the tools being throw-away and only fit for DIYers. Your videos provide a glimpse into the world of professional tools and that is why they are interesting. Your views on Milwaukee tools were revealing, including the 5-year warranty people in the USA get. I'd be interested if you ever do a video of Hilti tools, as I understand they are very high-end. You could maybe do a video of your Top 10/ Top 5 brands, as we'd be hearing that from you as a real expert whose opinion carries weight.Thanks again fro the time and trouble you go to to make these videos for us.
