I was just about to go buy new motor brushes for this, but then i realized somebody might have them laying around in their garage that they dont need. If any of you have 1/4" or 5mm motor brushes laying around, i'd definitely put them to use.
Thanks for posting. I have one just like it. Took it apart to sharpen and those pesky nuts for the bottom screws fell out. So... Tore it all apart and couldn't get the brushes figured out, your video helped (alas, I lost one end when it shot put somewhere). The washer on the gear also helped. You go girl!!
I don’t think your brushes are sparking too much, I just got mine today and it’s totally stock and spark inside looks same as yours. I would ground it properly though, with that metal case. Be careful - I accidentally cut through my extension cord today, very easy to do! No injuries but the fireworks were impressive and surprising. Fixed the extension cord right away, no problem but no fun!! Thanks for this video, not many on this unit out there.
My uncle had two of them old black and Decker hedge trimmers one was all orange plastic version like the jigsaw he gave me years ago I guess he bought those two the same time I rebuilt the jigsaw 7580 he had one just like your grandfather's aswell thank you for sharing excellent job repair you can easily find carbon brushes if you on eBay
Good job, looks great. I love watching tool restorations, this was an enjoyable video, thank you. They don't build them like that anymore for sure. I had a good laugh on the forgotten brush, it happens to the best of us.
I got one of these at goodwill for about $6. It seems really functional, too functional even. My dad assumed it was from the 80s but it's nearly 80 years old itself.
Oh god, I have that same fucking tool in my shed, used to be my grandfathers. I actually have doubles of drills, circular saws, and jigsaws, all black and decker, since when my grandfather died, none of his family wanted them, so my dad (His son in law) ended up with them, while also having a (mostly) full set. So far they are the only power tools I've owned that haven't shit out on me.
I have a B&D Hedge Trimmer Model U-175 that looks the same as the one in the video. It uses four (4) Phillips head machine screws 24-16 x 7/8" with a lock washer to attach the blade assembly to the housing.
@Rinoa Great video. Any idea where I can buy brushes? I have a late 60's or early 70's orange colored B&D hedge trimmer model U-175 & the brushes are pretty worn.
Ebay didnt have any but I did find the brushes here: carbonbrush.com/blackdeckerbrush.htm Would you mind checking your trimmer for the size of the screw & nut that mounts the handle? Mine are missing.
God dang, you're as cute as you are handy. Good job on the repair. I need to trim some shrubbery and I think I'll go looking for an old trimmer instead of a new one. The old aluminium ones look like they're out of the Jetsons.

hi rinoa will there be a Video of you cleaning the tarp sheds and your storage compartmen to find stuff to sell would realy want to visit your Booth but flying from germany to ilinois is maybe a bit too far
didnt exactly ruin the spring since it still works, and the Victorinox's dont look to have any obvious nicking in them. you can pretty easilly cut through steel wire with these and not get them too damaged.
I am joking. But I would personally just put old brush and spring on its place. It would be much easier and less sketchy. :) Ah that "skreeeek" sound in the end of bush cutting scene is motor pinion slipping on main gear. Dont feed too large sticks to it. It will break. I know because broke one already. :D
I can tell you when it comes to springs, it is next to impossible to find what you need. You have to make what you need. Very simple to do fella too. My hardware store has a wall of springs and I always had to settle for something close but no cigar, if you know what I mean. Peace
This is the first video of yours where ice consciously caught myself in my mental commentary but I was interchangeably using he or she in my commentary. Have a great day
the one i had on it is all warped and whatnot, and i quickly lost that one that i found. lol the gouging electrode is working mostly fine though, so whatever.
Please forgive as i haven't watched to the conclusion But ? It couldn't be overstated to concern Oneself w/a few details! those bushings (5) in cutting bar, the spring washers (5) and the tensions on the (5) keepers, And the tension required where the cutting bar mounts to the motor assembly. I also am experiencing possible issues with the (4) slots in the motor assembly where the cutting bar mounts, as those (nut bosses) do seem to be allowing the nuts to slide out ! Thank You for being the only sight that addressed this hedge trimmer, so far !'
At 10:07, you were cussing about "seriously kidding me", I was noticing a bushing looking object on your "workbench" and had the same issue with those tricky little "very important bushings" ! Also Please excuse my intermittent engagement, as i have very short attention span and will forget about a-lot, But i will remember to not forget about that attention defect! Thank You for any patience with me, if you had any!
Looks like a model U272 16" deluxe double-edged model... this was the most popular model B&D made; its double-insulated successor, the model 8124, was equally common.
Hi Rinoa. I like watching you do stuff. I don't know exactly why. But anyway, can you include your cat in your next video? For some reason I enjoy seeing you pet your cat. Have a nice day!!
well she includes herself in the videos, sometimes she just doesnt feel like being around my projects and sleeps under the neighbor's shed or something.
I used the exact same model a few weeks ago. It worked great -- definitely beats loppers. My tool -- purchased at "Curb Mart" is in even better shape. You have to love that polished housing.
+shaneman27 nah i dont properly do it, i make the top bigger than the bottom. thats kinda the oposite of what most people do but i kinda like it better that way couse then you can stand under it.
This was distressing to watch, all those exterior metal debris & steel wool falling through the ventilation slots into the interior grease. Your purpose was to get it working again, not to beautify it. Just reconnect the carbon brush wire, add two new carbons, re-assemble & test, then sell. Last year I'd bought a vintage drill for $20. Its metal exterior looked awful. The seller stated that he'd replaced the carbons. Can you imagine, with your extra cleaning, would be $20 be worth your time or would a buyer pay $50 for a bright polished item?
I hate to be that guy twisting about safety, but using gloves (especially those loose leathery ones) around wire wheels like that isn't a great idea because they can get caught and pulled in.
While you two (2) argue that glove-no glove debate, I developed a little trick, (it's still on the drawing board at this time) It goes something like this; After my grinder/ wire wheel reaches rpm, i turn it off and then proceed with objective! grant-it that it's a pain, But ? it's a not a physical thing but more of a mental crisis! henceforth the aforementioned "in the works"
@Max As long as she states it's a 1960's tool she's not being deceptive. It's up to the prospective buyer to decide whether it meets their criteria of antique.

Have some. I got a big bag from China. I will measure to make sure they might fit.
i just got some carbon brushes in the mail, are they from you? thank you very much if so. :D
Yep. Sent you two pair. My brush holders were bad so I could not use them.
This is really awesome that you helped her out. I just obtained a B&D model 8120. Does anyone know what year its from?
I have a 8140 but the brush holders are melted. I found brushes but cannot seem to find the holders anywhere for this, any suggestions?
Thanks for posting. I have one just like it. Took it apart to sharpen and those pesky nuts for the bottom screws fell out. So... Tore it all apart and couldn't get the brushes figured out, your video helped (alas, I lost one end when it shot put somewhere). The washer on the gear also helped. You go girl!!
Helped immensely! Got mine back in parts after sharpening. The part of the video showing the brush fix was helpful for sure!

I have one like this one in orange but it’s jammed do you know what i can do to get it unjammed?
dissasemble and clean it maybe?
Thank you
My uncle had two of them old black and Decker hedge trimmers
one was all orange plastic version like the jigsaw he gave me years ago I guess he bought those two the same time I rebuilt the jigsaw 7580 he had one just like your grandfather's aswell thank you for sharing excellent job repair you can easily find carbon brushes if you on eBay
2:05 "Loosely held nuts" , 2:27 "Nuts won't stay in slot".
Oh man had me dying over here, God I am immature!
Good job, looks great. I love watching tool restorations, this was an enjoyable video, thank you. They don't build them like that anymore for sure. I had a good laugh on the forgotten brush, it happens to the best of us.
+Tom Adams honestly, i kinda forget that whole empty lot is ours most of the time. haha
I love it I am more sense than any men do thank you very much for your help and repair on one right now thank you again have a great life
TLC goes a long way with older tools... Ya done good .. Great How to Video, Thanks.
I got one of these at goodwill for about $6. It seems really functional, too functional even. My dad assumed it was from the 80s but it's nearly 80 years old itself.

Wow its really nice watching you refurbishing old stuff :)
I have my Dad's 8120, looks identical in & out. I still use it. Thanks for the video.
I am repairing my dad's 8120 right now. This video helped a lot.
I have this unit and have used it continuously since '69!!......bought it at Western Auto.
10:46 in fact we have a big Bush. I totally forgot. How do you forget something like that?
its on the property line, i thought it was our neighbor's for a while.
@@RinoaL thats understandable
Hi :) Just got the same one today! Missing the 4 screws at the bottom that hold the blades to the unit. Can you tell me the type and size? Thanks!
sorry i dont know
I have a B&D Hedge Trimmer Model U-175 that looks the same as the one in the video. It uses four (4) Phillips head machine screws 24-16 x 7/8" with a lock washer to attach the blade assembly to the housing.
Rich Stinchcomb thanks Rich!
Good for you for getting that together. I've had a few of them over the years.
This comes apart much easier than the one I had which was made in the 90s likely, had to occasionally pull it apart and oil the bearings
I am looking for a handle for this exact trimmer.... any ideas??
@Rusty Hall That handle looks very similar to one sold under brand name Servistar at Ace hardware.
@Rinoa Great video.
Any idea where I can buy brushes? I have a late 60's or early 70's orange colored B&D hedge trimmer model U-175 & the brushes are pretty worn.
try ebay.

The old aluminium ones look like they're out of the Jetsons.
I had no idea steel wool would do that we'll in the old cast tools
Just use gloves: it will wear skin off as well as muck.
Me had this,same hedge trimmer black & decker unfortunately It quit working finally bought a/new hedge trimmer

+Anna lena jenny official im not sure, i probably wont show too much because its a slow process
+rinoasupergenius when you were manually moving the blade it was semi hipnotic. thats the coolest hedger trimmer i have ever seen
Encouraging to see methodically and carefully repaired. Thanks
Those old tools were built to last a lot longer than the crap produced today. Just a set of new brushes, clean-up and it should go for many years.
do you use lead-based or lead-free solder?
+Ashleigh Rowe i use lead solder, it sticks better
I have a few old black and decker drills those are indestructable! Btw perhaps you can modify this trimmer so it can cut bricks? :D
How to ruin perfectly good spring and a swiss knife at the same time. :D
didnt exactly ruin the spring since it still works, and the Victorinox's dont look to have any obvious nicking in them. you can pretty easilly cut through steel wire with these and not get them too damaged.

Excellent video!
I just received this exact one from my gpa.Used it today ran good,seem to vibrate alot though.But hey its awesome
Thank you again appreciate it young lady you gotta watch out for that poison ivy at all times I used to get it in the winter
My parents have one just like that. It still works great.
At 10:07, you were cussing about "seriously kidding me", I was noticing a bushing looking object on your "workbench" and had the same issue with those tricky little "very important bushings" !

I found old vacuum cleaner motors to be a source for replacement brushes, assuming they are the right size.
Please, put some grease on those cogwheels! Aniway, really nice video!
I just got this same one at Goodwill for $8!
Looks like a model U272 16" deluxe double-edged model... this was the most popular model B&D made; its double-insulated successor, the model 8124, was equally common.
Nice! They sure don't make them like they used to lol.
Hi Rinoa. I like watching you do stuff. I don't know exactly why. But anyway, can you include your cat in your next video? For some reason I enjoy seeing you pet your cat. Have a nice day!!
well she includes herself in the videos, sometimes she just doesnt feel like being around my projects and sleeps under the neighbor's shed or something.
good job. a practical restoration. you probably saved 100$
I used the exact same model a few weeks ago. It worked great -- definitely beats loppers. My tool -- purchased at "Curb Mart" is in even better shape. You have to love that polished housing.
I.d say 1963 from the specifications and detailed information on the unit that is
That's the one I'm having problem's with now,
maybe replace the cable and ground the metal shell on it when you put new brushes in. cheap and easy enough to do.
Very cool video :)
You are swinging that cutter like machete. :D
is that not how your supposed to do it? lol
Maybe? :D
Today on the show, we learn how to properly prune a bush!
+shaneman27 nah i dont properly do it, i make the top bigger than the bottom. thats kinda the oposite of what most people do but i kinda like it better that way couse then you can stand under it.
Rinoa Super-Genius 😂 perfect idea
Good job. Thx for the vid.
Hello its good that you restored but you Left not only spring......
Nice I'd buy it
LoL at the "we do in fact"
Huh. I'm never this early.
yeah, but good job!
Is that what you tell your girlfriend? After a few times I doubt she falls for it anymore bud.....lololololol
I'm doing one right now
You would look cool with a mustache, like Antonio Banderas in Zorro.
+jonnywaselectric no
jonnywaselectric too much of films you watching....
oil the bar.
i did, i guess you didnt watch the video?
Castrol 10w60 by the looks of it. Should do a decent job.
You should buy yourself a workbench or even make one if you can get a few bucks

1960's isn't "antique", it's common place to use antique to describe an object at least 100 years old
@Max As long as she states it's a 1960's tool she's not being deceptive. It's up to the prospective buyer to decide whether it meets their criteria of antique.
Are you a man or princes of sound dispersed?
OMG. Don't clean it!
+Paul Arscott so youd rather me throw it away? thats just stupid
Rinoa Super-Genius . no I didn't say throw it away. I was referring to AVE. he never cleans power tools on account they will just get dirty again. 😁
the oxidized aluminium feels weird though, and i needed to clean the blade to make it run smoothly.
