Rescuing a wood dust shield with a wood spacer, love it! I'm sure many folks will need this repair. Thank you for sharing.

This product is made so cheap. It’s amazing what they sell for

Thanks very Helpful. I also dropped mine and the fan was binding. Fortunately for me I squired some graphite into top of motor and it did the trick. I will remember this tip because I know I'll drop mine again.

I had the adjustable plastic headband just break into off by the thumb screws. Went to my Air Products store and bought a Radnor Perma-Lok ratchet headgear P/N 64005117 and switched it out for the broken one. Factory replacement $65. Radnor replacement $12 and change.

Thanks for sharing, clever idea. I dropped mine on the shop floor from a height of about 22 inches. It shatered the spider mounts and the fan blades. It was less than a year old. The Trend booth at Raleigh AAW symposium kindly sent me a replacement, saving $125. I'd sure love to see Trend beef up the fan assembly and install a better battery and charger. It's a sweet unit but it and its accessories are over priced and under engineered.

Great fix! My only two cents to add to the ten-cent fix would be to shorten the wooden sleeve a bit to just what is needed to hold the motor in place. Covering the whole motor will act as an insulator keeping the heat generated by the motor built up inside it. It has permanent magnets that will weaken when heated causing the motor to slow or fail over time. By reducing the size of the collar length you've made to about 1/4" or so, it would allow a lot better cooling.

Great review, thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much.

Great video and clever fix! I'm having a similar problem and trying to trouble shoot the motor... do you know the voltage the battery pack is supposed to put out? And also what voltage the motor runs on so I can test it? Many Thanks!
