I can understand the frustration of trying to fix a stubborn machine, I had a Stihl chainsaw driving me mad for months with intermittent running problems. I ended up buying a new saw and gave the troublemaker to my neighbor (who's a retired car mechanic) labeled "it's yours if you can fix it" (he did, but took him a few days to figure out the issue, which turned out to be a factory faulty exhaust component).
Great fixes as ever. Just a note on capacitor value size. Capacitor values for motors are tailored to the size of the motor, matching the windings etc. As you increase capacitance the main effect is to increase current in the start winding, so increasing heating and reducing both efficiency and life. So you do have to be careful in increasing capacitance too much. The thing that doesn't matter too much, is increasing the voltage rating, but as you say, by increasing things like this, tends to make the size of the capacitor increase.
I will agree 100% with you, one definitely does NOT want metal dust (especially as fine as it is here) from a magnetic drill in your eyes. No way. Good call on that one Dean.
On the makita radio you can wake up the display with a igniter off a click lighter short it against the display where the symbols armt showing usually gets them working again
That DCN 890 has obviously been serviced before, since I can see that the debris brush is no longer mounted to the front of the module, and is probably the reason the nail fragment got back in to the unit and caused this failure. Type 1 units suffered from debris getting in to the unit, that's why the type 2 and type 3 have the brush. Also, the rear bumper being loose in the unit is a sign that the profile has been removed in the past. Type 3 units have an all in one rear bumper assembly. The bumper loose in the unit would have come from improperly reassembling the unit. You could dry fire the unit a few times to check the function. Then you would also hear the return mechanism pulling the profile back. Also worth noting that the leg is missing from the magazine, which is there to help keep the nailer perpendicular to the work surface.
That big old pipe threader looks like it was made by FEIN. Goes to show back then most tool brands delivered fantastic quality tools when you bought their high end models. These days you can go into a store spend an awful lot of money and end up with what I would describe as upper DIY grade, no spare parts and no reparability build into the tool.
one thing ive been doing when trying repairs is taking a picture of the opened tool just in case. im sure the person who threw that milwaukee tool away just got confused how to put it back together. great video!
Thank you for sharing this great video Dean sorry I can't become a member I can't afford it wish I could but the wife said no I have to do what I'm told 😂
Ah the famous "machine was smoking and had flames comming out of the vents" must be the brushes! Even had them mentioned quite often after brushless machines were introduced a couple of years ago. Always good for a laugh. On a side note you don't seem to get in a lot of non working Festools over at your workshop? Most of the times it will be the brushes especially on the TS55's/TS75's or even the Vacs if it isn't the lead.
Thanks for the video Dean really interesting as always. Can you tell me why air compressors have short electric leads? I have just purchased a small Hyundai and the plug can’t reach my bench top from the floor it’s about 80cm long! Have you ever swapped out these cables for something longer more heavy duty?
Dean great vid, I have same compressor 240v but hasn’t been used I a while, I had the cradle patched a few times but it always eventually goes, AND it has same twist on bottom plate where I dropped it years ago! What’s your thoughts on me getting it mounted on a gas bottle as the cradle/ reservoir it totally shot? It’s a lovely quiet motor compared to the first one I had and much quieter than my Dewalt one I’m now using. I ran my Paslode 1st fix with it no problem but if it works out I’ll just use it in my garage wee workshop for pin guns staplers tyres etc. the lad that has offered to do it for me is an electronic engineer and a competent welder? I didn’t realise that’s a non return valve, every days a school day eh! Thanks again Dean for great vids and content but they really swallow up too much of my time!😂 Ed👍🏴
I too have the same 240v version, mine stopped building pressure a few years ago, I had go at it a couple of weeks ago & found it was dirt stuck behind the valves, managed to scrape it out with feeler gauge, it builds full pressure now but takes longer than it used to to get there. i've been looking for years for replacement piston rings, but can't find them anywhere. I used to take it to sites to do closed board fencing, I don't think the intake air filtration is up to it & worn the rings. mine too has a missing foot😄. maybe fix your pump to an old compressor tank that already has a platform so hopefully no welding needed, I do mig & tig but wouldn't trust myself on a high air pressure holding vessel,
@martinpedersen4886 I have seen OEM parts go for crazy expensive. And I've also seen my fair share of cheap replacements like you've mentioned. If one is capable of troubleshooting any pcb on a component level for tools, there is still money to be made. Can't count how many drills and grinders I've saved just because the replacement boards often cost more than the tool or not available, when a couple $2 mosfets and $30 of labour can save the day.
You know I can see that Ridgid pipe threader being used if you didn't have a winch but you needed to reel something in you could just put some type of a pulley or a bar or something sticking out a piece of pipe maybe and there you go
What is old for a tool? What year or age is it before it's old? I guess it depends on what the tool is. The cheaper, or smaller, the tool, the quicker it gets "old," for example, an impact driver is old after maybe 5 years and a lathe is old after 20-30 years
@@shifty277 He got ripped off. Same part is only about €8 where i buy my spare parts. Original from Makita. That price, part only, makes no sense for a beaten up radio like tha
Fresh coffee and our boy Dean is dishing up the goods- always a joy to watch.
Ive watched hundreds of his videos and i can confidently say i could change brushes!!😅
A tried t fix the brush once & the handle fell off .😂
A great afternoon with Dean and some tools. Thanks mate.
Dean,you’re the Sherlock Holmes of power tool repairs. I grab a coffee and sit back and watch the mystery unfold and solved. Good stuff.😊
Man, I like watching your channel. Teacher of the Year award goes too, Dean Doherty🍎
thanks
Protect this man at all costs.

A pipe threading tool, that’s a first for me!
Not super common I've only seem like 2 in my life one wad at a yard sale for cheap almost bought it just to have it but didn't cause I have no need
Lots of variety in this weeks marathon! Keep up the good work Dean!
That Milwaukee was a sweet find!!! Very cool for the customer who picked it up 😊👍👍👍👍👍
You are a marvel Dean.

Cant beat a free side o the road tool! I got myself a few of those too! Great show!

Those were good tools you repaired. Awesome
Shame it was such a simple fix for the pipe threading tool - I would have liked to have seen it taken apart to see how it works.
"found at the side of road" that sounds more than suspect 😄
Love the work and diagnosis, as always.
Great video young man
Love these longer videos with various tools
A nice variety of tools interesting as always Thanks
Excellent diagnoses on this disparate selection of equipment, Dean. Good work!
What a crazy mix of items. It's great watching you find & solve the problems.

Loooovely......love it 👍🏴
You have overlooked the screw on the loudspeaker magnet of the Marita radio. 48:38
PCB for that radio can probably be repaired, but that's a different UA-cam channel 😄
one thing ive been doing when trying repairs is taking a picture of the opened tool just in case. im sure the person who threw that milwaukee tool away just got confused how to put it back together. great video!
More likely a fabricated story after conceding defeat.
its funny how they went as far as buying the brush holder but couldnt even bother to look online how to put it together.
good content, refreshing🙃😊😁
better than watching tv 😁
That must be bob marleys nail gun😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The quality of that ridged / Bosch machine compared to a modern 9" grinder body.
Thank you for sharing this great video Dean sorry I can't become a member I can't afford it wish I could but the wife said no I have to do what I'm told 😂
I didn’t see it, but did you at least clean up the shaft on the mag pro drill? May give the new bearing a little longer life

👍👍👍👍👍👍
OSHA has ruled that music is hazardous to your health.
OSHA is hazardous in itself.
Osha can shove it
That's our treader it stopped working when we had it tap where brushes were she would go we were afraid of damaging the armature.
And that last one is why I say leve the job for perfeshnals❤
If you were an electronics technician as well. You could easily repair that DC, Earphone board on Makita radio,😜

69Eur for a $5PCB to fix that radio... Glad I do board level repairs on most of these

Hey Dean!
I know you use NSK or FAG bearings... but whats your opinion on SKF?

Depends entirely on the tool.
I got the same Makita radio and my PCB Board cost me £10 for a new one
maybe you had a copy part off ebay? Nonetheless £60 looks sharp from Makita for the size of the board and what sort of components (chips are on it).
