Repairing some old and new power tools from old Makita to new Stihl cordless chainsaw.

Sadly no intro or final words at the end of this video. The first and last tools were a Milwaukee cordless nut and saw.
Both were not worth fixing, and both types had been seen before, so decided to leave them out of the video.
The Makita hedge cutter was a total waste of time, and it looks like I wasn't the first to have wasted time on it.
The infiray thermal imaging camera showed a hot short on the controle board.
The Stihl had a lucky escape as i thought this one was also a waste of time. But this just shows it's always worth checking.
Freeing the oil feed worm gear solved the problem.
Would have been better to replace the part and the whole body, but simply would not have been worth buying the parts before knowing if the motor even worked.
The parts are available, but time and price mean they are probably not worth waiting on.
The Makita HM5000k hammer and Makita 6320 router are old-school reliable tools that simply need quick service to keep them working right.

The Bosch Hedge trimmer problem was so interesting. The way you spotted what they had done moving that switch and it's consequences was brilliant. Fantastic work.

That Stihl chainsaw repair from around 53 minutes on was a satisfying one. Imagine how many machines end up in landfill/recycling due to that 'no parts required' fix. Well done and hope that Stihl, etc are looking in at your videos to improve the designs.

@@jasonbuckler190 However, it is tested EXACTLY the way it should be tested if it is not known exactly what is going wrong. This means you can listen for errors, e.g. You can hear whether the switch(es) click or not, or whether the motor hums, to name a few. Only short (current) surges. Switch ->General electronics (relays, controllers) or which bearing "stutters" only then do you go to the larger parts such as running bearings, force conductors, brakes or even chains. Depending on the model, the scope and exact process is different, but otherwise that's always the case same

You are my favorite KZfaqr. I look forward to every video. I am not sure why. Maybe watching you work reminds me of my father, may he rest in peace. He had a repair shop for acoustic musical instruments. I learn so much from your videos and they are oddly soothing. My boyfriend likes that I may have ideas on what is wrong when one of his tools breaks. The other day I raised cane about him checking his compound miter saw and table saw for rust after being used in a canopy tent while rain outside. I said, "moisture can ruin a perfectly good tool." Thank you so much

Great content, as always, Dean. I especially appreciate that you actually use your Wiha tools. I see many people posting their collection of high-quality German tools, which always look brand new, and it's a shame because most of those tools will never be used.

@deandohertygreaser 6 ай бұрын

I know how you feel, a good tool is always used. Wiha, Knipex and Wera are some of the best tools and ill be using any i get sent. But i do find some wiha and wera tools very well priced. like the torq and screwdrivers i use last years and dont cost much more than any other generic set. Power tools are the same, never buy tools that look good. Look around a building site or workshop and buy the tools that are just about worn out, abused and falling apart. Because they are the tools that are doing the work for years and years.

Hi Dean Love the videos and i am old school and believe in repairing anything rather than throw it away.the problem with that is the spare parts to replace anything can be quite expensive sometimes more than it is worth repairing.i think that tool makers should be more responsible in keeping prices low to minimise the "throw away society" that we have nowadays.just my opinion and probably wouldn't work in reality sadly. Keep up the good work Dean😉

I've got a very similar chainsaw, for any of these it's crucial to keep the blade attachment area clean to avoid any derbies jamming against the (rather fragile) plastic housing. A stiff bristle brush works best for this, like a fingernail or dish scrubber.

@deandohertygreaser 5 ай бұрын

@alouisschafer7212 3 ай бұрын

Moly grease. Ideal for high load low speed applications where lubrication also doesnt rely on the grease melting and coating the components under heat. The CV joints in car axles use moly grease for example. Unsuitable for pretty much any gearbox though unless its low speed high load which most powertools are not. "At low speed, and high loads, oil is not able to create a complete film between the rolling contact surfaces. Below a surface speed (ndm of 20,000 mm/minute {rpm x mean diameter of bearing}), there will always be some requirement to protect from boundary lubrication, so the selection of grease should include a solid lubricant such as moly and graphite. " Altough one COULD probably successfully mix in micronized molybdenum powder in the Hilti hammer grease and improve lubrication in the gearbox.

Love your videos and also the longer format. Regarding the Stihl Chainsaw, I noticed you did not push the battery in all the way (53:32) when you first tried to turn it on. I have a couple Stihl battery tools and there are 2 clicks to fully insert the battery. The first click holds the battery without falling out but is not connected to the terminals on the saw. The second click fully connects the battery to the terminals. I think you found the problem anyway but I wonder if the saw would have tried to turn leading to a quicker diagnosis. You did fully insert the battery after the repair (1:11:48) so all in all the repair was a success. Again, I love your videos and keep them coming. Len from N. CA USA

Dean,thanks for the experience. I’m changing bearings in a Dw708, type 4, 12 inch miter saw. There are two needle bearings on the blade area, one can be popped out on the opposite side, easy. The second is enclosed on the back, no way to pop it out. After taking out the larger gear assembly it looks like this needle bearing is enclosed like the other. How do you remove this needle bearing?

That Stihl chainsaw seemed like a seriously flawed design. The whole tool relies on a plastic screw driving a plastic gear and that plastic screw is sliding on the saw's plastic housing. And of course it is not sold separately as a spare part. I'm sure they saved around $2 with this design in exchange of losing all those customers whose chainsaws fail because of this within a few years and become disillusioned with the brand. 😒
