HF 62529 Rechargable LED work light Teardown and upgrade
The issue with the stickers is that you can tell they have been replaced at night when the lights come in on the dash. It's noticeable and for those that are detail oriented it will drive you nuts
The manufacturers of those cheap multimeter would have more knowledge and better calibration equipment than you to begin with...so if it does not accurate, it would not changes
Don't drink so much coffee 😖
Thank you for the great teardown video. Did you happen to see if they included a diode bridge on the input so it can handle batteries with opposite polarity? I realize it should be unnecessary given the mechanical battery keyonf, but the reason I ask is I've seen videos of where people have modified Milwaukee batteries to fit this Dreme. This is something I'd like to do as well since my Dremel charger broke but Dremel and Milwaukee batteries have opposite polarities when in the same orientation so I'm hoping to confirm I won't blow anything up when I plug it in before I plug in a Milwaukee battery.
My band saw got the same problem, but Milwaukee didn’t give me guarantee . Always happen on this M12.
It is an explosion proof ceramic sand filled fuse . I have had 3 of these P98674's and they really aren't bad DMM's. One thing I wish it had was a place to keep an extra fuse. I was doing some work in Northern Arizona when I had a fuse blow and there wasn't a single one around no place to find a replacement so I had to drive back to the valley and pick up a replacement in Mesa Arizona. It was a lot of driving just to replace a fuse and it wound up costing more than a fuse like diesel fuel , lots of time and a motel room
Unfortunately it's been a problem with the M12 rotary tools, if you use them for long periods of time or at high speeds under load they tend to "burn out" I've replaced mine twice already and it's still not 3 years old. Be interesting to see if the new Fuel model stands up better. If you only use it for very short periods with only very easy cutting/grinding it's great, but it can't take extended use or cutting under load for long.
Model name
Mine keeps offing when I try to on it
As soon as this dude said you needed to spend $500+ for a 'professional' multimeter I LOL'd. Dudes hardcore brainwashed by Fluke
Which DMM are you using?
What size torque bit to take a part?
Nice video - Many thanks for your tips on calibrating multimeters ! Many greetings from Stockholm ( Sweden ) and Jan Eklöf
Not sure why this isnt more popular, its an excellent modification. Planning on doing the same to my Suburban.
I have a issue with over heating or over rpm causing the led to flash
Totally usless - he gets to the point of hooking it up and the vid just stops .... and nowhere does he say what is pos or neg on adapter or battery - so what good is that ? Obviously none !
I have a Milwaukee SDS plus rotary hammer. Its hardly been used. Recently I power it on but the motor isn't turning. It only lights up the led worklight ,power indicator and emit a 'tik' sound. Can anyone educate me as to the cause of the problem? Thanks!
For me, job well done will be whether all the stray light is properly obscured when back lit.
The problem with removing that faux wood cover like that, the piece never fits back in properly and rattles like crazy. I know. Dont do this! Just use the stickers, clean the control with alcohol, and carefully stick on.
You just showed the features a review lets people know if you liked it or not and how it performed over time .
i didn't have to pull the radio or the cig lighter panel
You should tear into the m12 soldering iron.... I've gone through 3 of them after so long they stop heating for some strange reason
I got extech ma 1500 and all the potentiomerer had a v beside them come to find out there not all voltage they were amps .i had to buy whole other meter to get a rough calibration to dial them in and then i some messed the newiest one up .i was adjusting the voltage and the meter jas something built in it that makes voltage start drifting all over the placd .thought it was potentiometer so replaces potentiometer and it was still doing it and waited dor a couple hours and it started working again
Hard covers suck
Good on YOU BRO!!!! Your review must have changed their minds on what they put out. I just bought mine and it came with the adjustable trolley for the plasma cutter, also, they sent my TIG torch out with a very flexible hose like you suggested, same red color and all, but integrated it with the T4 trigger as well as covered it in the zipper heat shield. I can wrap it around my arm and hand easily and weld as I wish to. Your review must have touched them, because my new Power Pro 164Si is remarkably easy to handle and weld with. Kudos to your review and the manufacturer in making the changes for us that want a light duty welder. This is a most excellent review and thank you for changing their minds. By the way, mine now costs $1475.00 delivered, probably due to what you have said, but well worth the price in the upgrades. Thanks again!!!!
If you are not replacing the radio It seems like it would be a lot less hassle to clean the buttons off with it in the dash and put the stickers on with it in the dash.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow, that CEN-TECH autometer is either damaged or severely out of calibration. The accuracy spec on the 20Vdc range is (0.8%+5). I'm reading that as 0.8% of the voltage plus 5 times the resolution, which is 0.1V on this scale. So your maximum value you should measure for a 15.25V voltage is approximately 15.88V. Something is very wrong if you are reading 21.0V.
Great video, did you say it brushes are in the motor how do you change them, or don’t you have to change them thanks again outstanding video
will not be buying dymo anytime soon. Harbor freight kid : )
Does this waterproof the unit when outdoors?
Hey sorry but I know this is an old post but new to me lol but just wanna say you are the shit!! Fuckin awesome 🤙
Does a new control module need to be programmed?
off topick what radio is that your useing
Love how they sand the chip nomenclature off so you can't replace it. Typical Bosch. My Dremel broke after a couple of hours. If I had known it was a Bosch product I wouldn't have bought it. Bosch used to be a great company and made dependable stuff but then the bean counters took control and it was all downhill since then. Yellow paint. WTF. Did they sand the numbers off of the FETs too?
Exactly what I was looking for as I want to wifi enable a 10 channel laser fixture... I'm using the old 4MB Wemos D1 mini but of 3 devices 2 stop working after about 15 secs. I reboot then they run for a while. Installation goes per normal, I get an IP via DHCP and can access the UI for a while until it stops responding. Should the firmware (v3.2) run reliably on a 4MB D1 mini
thank you for the video. do you still remember the motor ‘s code and numbers?
Good video, thanks for posting. In the several years since this video was uploaded, cheap "True RMS" AC volt meters have been marketed. For low voltage AC measurements (filament) are they any good (1 decimal point or 10%) ?
Not only that. New cheap multimeters are now fully digital with no potentiometer anywhere that I can find to calibrate them : (
YO I KNOW THAT GUY!
I swear bro, you guys help a lot. The whole purpose of recovery is that we don't delete the volume or back up the volume before backup. Thanks for the spam.
I just bought similar of this function generator . my question is how to set the duty cycle with the square wave ? and thanks in advance .
I like the 8220 and I have 2 of them. One quit running and started smoking just before it quit. I think I burned up the motor but I replaced it and it still won't run. After replacing the motor what is the second thing I should try?
I have a question for you. On my steering wheel I have only one button that shows a tiny bit of wear (it’s hard to notice but defects like that really stand out to me) but wanted to protect it from further damage. After opening I got my replacement stickers I see instructions say to remove the rest of the original material off the button before replacing it with the sticker that will become semi permanent. My question for you is can I leave the material on there and place this sticker over it or would that damage the material on the button and also make these sticker not useful?
Love that you didn’t edit the struggle
Returned one after 2 days, second is also doing the same after 1 month.
I think idea of this meter is more lighting such as theatical, interior setups and acoustics. I would find it odd that it was designed for high voltages given its lumen and dB metering. PS you handle your gear like shit.
Hi. I have a dcd791 too, new. The reverse/forward button is very loose/sloppy. Did yours have the same issue, or no? Does it matter? How can I repair it? Thanks.

i tried yhis one on my 3b scientific vibration generator and didnt manage a single vhladni patterns,,maybe its too weak
Where do you get the stickers
Does anyone know if i can swap to the single zone climate controls with the knobs? I never use the dual zone and I think the knobs would look better than the screen.
