Whys everyone acting like they are experts in electronics/vacuum repair and talking shlt to him? Why are you searching for vacuum reapir if you know how to do it in the first place? Furthermore, when he is speaking he is saying things like "maybe if I...", "ill test this with a voltage meter to find out if...", "my theory..." etc etc. It is so unbelievably clear that he is learning and trying to figure this out as he goes.
Thank you very much it works on mine! ... I didn't have a Sauder, so I cut the wires and used a conector to make the union on those wires ; tested and worked thanks a lot !!.....your are a genius!!
Thanks for the vid and ideas, So mine was doing the same thing, power button, sometimes I would hear the motor spin up for a split second but, otherwise nothing. Pulled it all apart, took everything off the switch, used some contact cleaner on the ends and the jacks(both sides). Put it back together, she works perfect again. If this happens again, I will use heat shrink on the ends, so they don't get crap all over them but, over all, quick and cheap fix on mine. Nothing wrong with the switch, just got dirty and was not making connection anymore...
I laughed so hard I almost forgot the reason I was watching this in the first place! I’m betting this will fix mine as well. Thanks for both the laughs and the information.
Is it just me or did no one else notice the latex/ vinyl gloves to protect his hands from the obviously very dirty insides of a shop-vac, all while tossing it around and fiddling with it in his home office right next to his electronics and dropping it all in his lap wearing boxer shorts. LMAO Laughing with you my friend not at you. Well a little at you but...LOL
Torx screws aren't used to keep you from opening it. If they wanted to do that, they'd use a tamper proof screw. The reason they used Torx is because they're more reliable when assembling units. It's easier to line the tool up with the screw. Plus, it is less likely to slip while assembling. You don't want to damage a tool that costs tens of thousands of dollars because it slipped while tightening a Phillips screwdriver. As for the switch, if you were having problems with the switch when you first got it, you had a defective switch. You should have had it fixed under warranty while it was new or just brought it back to where you bought it and exchanged it for a good one. A new switch will likely outlast the motor.
interesting stuff thanks for the insights. as far as returning, I figured it was just loose or something and the switch did work but just had to be turned on and off a couple times and fiddled with some to come on which I didn't mind until it eventually just broke fully
Why am I reminded of the Fast Times At Ridgemont High film .....ordered pizza scene.....while watching this?......."who ordered the double cheese and sausage "?
No it obviously is not a spoof I literally fixed the vacuum. Sorry I said that immature statement but one foolish sentence does not mean the whole video is a spoof.
I don't understand why you say stick to playing with my little robots when this shop vac fix was intended to get a working shop vac back in low cost fashion so that I can continue to use the shop vac for working on my little robots. Therefore, it was part of the robotics initiative. Also, repair and maintenance of my equipment is a necessary part of running a robotics workshop and keeping costs down so I can afford to pursue robotics on a budget. If you want me to just buy a new shop vac next time, why aren't you donating so I can just buy equipment with no financial concerns at all any time I get a breakdown?
The simple fact that you are unaware of what a torx bit is, is nothing short of embarrassing... therefore you should probably be in charge of operating the "shop vac" and not the maintenance side of thing's. Nonetheless cheers for the laughs 👍
I thought you “hard wired” the power leads in the previous video to bypass the switch, but you plugged it in and it still didn’t work, so you thought it might have overheated and popped a thermal circuit breaker or burned out the sensor itself..

Wow this just saved me a few hundreds, my vacuums alive again👍
nice!

I stopped watching after the first 12 seconds.
Most practical useful explanation out of all of them hat's off.

Did he just say "I'm a electronic professional, I'm a robotacist so I looked it up on you tube" 🤣

You make being cheap a ART!

It is a tamper proof torch.
Torx
You have to play with it before it " Turned On ", LMFAO !!!
The 'star shaped' screws are called Torx. :)

"Imagine spending $80, I'd rather kill myself" This is a spoof video? Surely
No it obviously is not a spoof I literally fixed the vacuum. Sorry I said that immature statement but one foolish sentence does not mean the whole video is a spoof.
That's a standard t 25 star bit lol used in like almost every farm building ever built. 🤣
Weren’t you the guy that had a Twitch stream years ago?
WOW! never seen a DPST switch? LMAO!
There are names for bits... the 'star' is not unusual, it's best for not stripping.
Ah he figured it out...torx!! Not uncommon.
Seriously dude just stick to playing with your little robots 😂

Good thing i didn't get shocked
An Allen Wrench will do the same job.
hey man' my grandmother is ceo of that company...cut her some slack
just joking thanx for vid
Why did they go under? Mine lasted less then 6months.
its a torx bit..
Dude, edit your vid.
You should not touch tools !
I should touch tools and will continue to do so with or without your approval.
U right ??🤤
