Please don't think that the one-handed vacuum disassembly and clean-out went unnoticed. We appreciate that effort a lot, so we could still see everything 🎉🙌🤩
I had the same issue with the Starmix version of that Metabo vacuum recently. I think the main filters had blown through at some point. I found I could uncrimp the metal shroud around the impeller to clean it more thoroughly. I would not be putting those filters back in since they have probably failed. They are pretty expensive to replace, though there are some suspiciously cheap knockoffs available if you don't care about the H class rating. I found the screws from the machine itself ideal to pull the hinge pins. I hope you're looking after your lungs with all that concrete dust.
I bet you that shop vacuum with the concrete dust was running very hot. Thank goodness you blew that circuit board off other than the obvious. Absolutely love this channel. I’m glad I’m able to be apart of this before you hit millions of subscribers which is inevitable.
I just love the way you throw screws,parts and tools all over the bench.i have to keep everything in order so it's easier for me to reassemble everything😂😂😂😂😂 A parts washer and bearing press are next on my shopping list😉
in my house i got 240 and 380 for the compressor in basement but im in Sweden. nice good videos i learn alot and i dont throw thing i try to do as you or use motors and gearboxes for other. thanks again
My favourite channel and a gateway to a new hobby buying broken tools off eBay and repairing them iv had some success with batteries and a couple of small fires .110 corded drills are my favourite they're not used much on site now the battery is king so they're dirt cheap but now I've got loads of drills nobody wants 😂😂😂😂
They’re great, buy ‘em second hand, fix ‘em. This leads to 110v site tools, that are usually pretty robust and cheap second hand. OK carting the trans about is a pain but this stuff is good,great for house refurb.
The transformer is actually three windings: 240 volt input and two 55 volt outputs. The outputs are wired 55-0-55 with the centre point being connected to ground. This way the tool sees 110 volts but the maximum fault voltage on the output is 55 volts with respect to ground. The transformers is also constructed as an isolation transformer so there is no connection on the power side between the input and the output.
It used to amaze me that all of our 110v site tools were pat- tested every 6 months at work. Very lucrative for the testers . Obviously a deal struck down the golf course -probs at the 19th.
@@catabaticanabatic3800 interestingly there's no legal obligation to actually PAT test, it's merely lets the company demonstrate that it has executed it's duty of care if it ends up in Court. For site equipment the most important part of the PAT test will be the visual inspection. There's very little that I would expect to go wrong with the electrics of the tool but cable and casing damage could be an issue if the tools are not suitable for the purpose of the application.
Have you ever tried the old dishwasher method for cleaning grease off tools. I know a guy who builds rally cross engines and he uses a dishwasher to clean engine parts using degreaser fluid from a 40 gallon drum instead of water, and as well it helps getting bearings refitted due to the heat, it also frees up his time by being able to do other things while the parts are getting washed, and more importantly an old dishwasher is a lot cheaper than a specially made machine for the job
That would make sense but you wouldn't want to put the electronic parts in there, you'd end up having to dismantle things more than necessary sometimes
Interesting, down here in Argentina we have 220v (up to 240v) for home appliances and site work as well. Industries and business can use 3-phase connections though. 26:38 Planned obsolescence, ain't that?
Great content as usual, Dean. I know you're an adult but it bears saying sometime... wearing a mask around that Cement dust would have been advisable along with some eye protection - because that stuff ain't good for you. PS. Thanks for reducing some of the nosier sections within your videos - we headphone wearers appreciate it!
Regarding irreplaceable switches,is it possible to by-pass the switch internally,and install an in-line torpedo type switch ? Not ideal,I know,but might save it from landfill for a little longer.( Provded the switch is only for on/off,not adjusting speed as well).
Most countries in Europe using 220V,230V,240V volt on one phase power supply.Many countries (including mine) have three phase power (380V-400V) supply for home.Common thing in Serbia,Kosovo,Macedonia,Croatia,Bosnia and Herzegovina,Germany etc.
They use the transformer to 110v from 240v to make it non lethal. 3 phase in to a house is crazy, only used for factory machines really in UK. Probably cheaper for your infrastructure system to not convert it but really unsafe
Although I have heard it said another way What is invisible , moves at the speed of light and can kill you Electricity Don’t you think it should be taught in grade school since it is everywhere ??
@@ed_zeus3 phase 400v doesn't really need any conversion to single phase 230v. If you connect between one leg of that 3phase and neutral, you get the 240v single phase. Most residential streets/buildings have 3 phase in the UK, but each meter is only connected to one of the phases
@@ed_zeusseems like a marketing scam to sell 110v equipment originally targeted for American/Japanese markets. Hardly 110v is significantly less lethal than 240.
I have a couple of the 54v DeWalt grinders, so far so good pity about the Switch. However im nearly positive the switch from the DeWalt cordless mower would actually work in the grinder looks 98% identical. Only difference is the absence of the safety lever. I could be wrong N474391 Maybe its possible to swap the trigger component to get it to 100%
It's because of the motor stopping dead that's unthreading it I found that problem on a DeWalt cordless drill I had w the brake was that harsh it used to undo the chuck and the drills would drop out, I did think it was a dodgy chuck but bought a nother DeWalt chuck but that kept doing the same so I got rid and got a different make drill.
that dewalt issue is mad. how can they get away with that. you know that bosch drill is good if its been around long enough to need the cable replaced several times.
I understand that brands do stuff to be dumped in first malfunction but aliexpress or ebay sell most of the switch inside switches. it just gives a lot more effort to replace but it works. I can give you the example of a VAG car door lock it has a microswitch which costs 1€ in aliexpress, but VAG won't sell microswitch only, instead sells the whole lock for 300€
To say that an expensive tradesmans tool is usless without buying half the machine again says somthing about Dewalts current state of affairs.. Im a Dewalt man myself, but Id have to admit ive been none too impressed with the overall feel of some of the new tools ive bought from them as of late.. Bought the new brushless combi drill dcd76 and didnt like how plasticy and feeble it felt, the chuck has a noticable ammount of wobble from the factory which pissed me right off, Also bought the new brushless jigsaw and while it cuts like a dream, id be afraid of me life that if it took a fall it would stop working.. I just get that feel from the latest stuff.. I also was worried about opening up the tools as I do with every new tool I get to see whats going on.. I seen a big control board in the jigsaw and said, lovley.. If that goes ive a pile of scrap on me hands.. The older stuff I have, was as rugged, easy to repair, very difficult to actually make not work.. I suppose I get a less premium feel with the latest brushless stuff.. I know its all going that way.. But i liked the fact that when the motor stopped working, It was 90% of the time either the switch or the brushes which were all availible all over the internet not just from dewalt..
no, the pully is only put on hand tight. must not have been tightened up in the factory. There is not washer or nut, the pull itself is threaded. I am only guessing that that is what happened.
Hi Dean. I've just found your channel. Excellent content. Would it be possible to video in Landscape rather than Portrait as it gives us a better field of view.
Hi,The 60v dewalt drill ,Does it have a capacitor to start the motor ? That would be my first stop .Without the capacitor it hard to get the amp to start it .just a thought from a electronics point or veiw
yes, but they are not as expensive. The grinder is good. but given the reliability for the 54v batteries, buying into this setup is expensive and if they cannot be fixed outside warranty, i would rather warn people who think they paying more for a reliable tool, when when its not. This is more suited to someone who needs the bigger grinder and the extra power and don't mind the extra cost.
You must shake your head alot Dean when some tools like the dust extractor come in and the operator has no idea how to clean out his machine. I know none of us read the manuals when we get a new machine but cleaning or changing the filter is just common sense. They all need to be cleaned out regardless of brand periodically especially if using on concrete and filters need to be changed. That thing was basically just clogged filters and had never been cleaned. 😂
no this one was different. the customer actualy read the manual and that is why he left it in. Wasn't just the filters, the whole inside was filled with dust. and metabo do recommend to have a tech dismantle and clean the hoover to prevent it from expelling dust. This lad is cutting through concrete walls all day long so this thing is getting filled with fine cement dust several times a day.

Two things make me 😂 the way you toss the parts on the bench and how you use another brands tool to take them apart . Skill on Dewalt like adding a little insult to the tool for failing 😂😂😂
Awesome video, Dean! Were you working in the trades in the past? You seem to have a lot of hands-on experience in actually using the tools, not only fixing them. I mean, you're technically still in the trades, but you get what I mean, haha.
Sir .. please wear a respirator when cleaning those vacuums of concreate dust and stuff... I am not a safety nazi but that stuff will destroy your lungs ... and you are such a honest , honorable talented person we cant afford to loose ya .. anyway love and prayers.
I would be happy. if you can give it to me. A tool that has been damaged cannot be repaired. at least I can have the tool. and repair it yourself. in my own way.❤❤
Another absolutely cracking one Dean 👍🏻👍🏻. Brilliant repairs as ever mate. I think the most satisfying one blowing the hover out😮😮. I've changed my brushes in my DeWalt chop saw and the automatic brake has stopped working. Any idea guys 🤔🤔
transformer wouldnt be allowed on site like that. they should be at a 240v outlet usually in a dedicated 'safe' zone. it should be a 110v cable going up the scaffold.
110volt being less likely to stop the heart, at 5 amp compared to 240v at 13amp. To actually stop the heart all you need is 0.7amp, so big difference going from 5amp to 13amp. ( the amp reduces as its conducted, so skinny people would get a bigger shock to the heart as far less resistance).
Hey friend, your video content left a deep impression on me. Is it possible for us to collaborate on a project at some point? Let me know your thoughts and keep working hard!
Dean. Could you not have a box to put all the parts in instead of throughing them all over your bench. It kinda degrades your excellent knowledge and work on all these different tools. Just my opinion.
Someone sold Ireland a ticket down the globalist garden path with mandatory 120 volt site transformers. 120 is the common mains voltage in the USA and it makes you no more or less dead than 240 volts does. This is just a way for Ireland to mandate the use of USA market tools, of which none are actually made in the USA. I worked with an Irish electrician many years ago. 240 volts grabs onto you better, but if it's your time to go, 120 volts will take you there just as easily. Lots of large USA industrial sites used 240 volt power tools exclusively, because stealing them was pointless.
Rubbish mate, it's just an outdated trend in the UK and Ireland that we use 110v site tools, the regulations used to call for them in at least the UK but now 230v tools are allowed on sites as long as there is a tested RCD on them. The idea was that because it's 55v on each leg (similar to how 208v is two phases in the states), touching the single 55v leg while grounded is less likely to kill you, and that does carry out to the real world, but since portable RCDs have come into play, it's not mandatory anymore. People are just used to and bought into the system now and hence still use them.
Please don't think that the one-handed vacuum disassembly and clean-out went unnoticed. We appreciate that effort a lot, so we could still see everything 🎉🙌🤩
Brilliant at your game and so therapeutic to watch but what I dig the most is you do an honest repair and that is priceless

53:37 what is this small thing called?
What do you wash the tools in?
Kerosin is used in the parts washer
Hi Dean, I've heard this Transformer described as Non-Fatal 110.......regards Tom
That would be right. That is why some countries use 110v and why you have to use 110v on sites. It won't kill you.
That disaster vaccum is the reason I use a cheap Einhell with dust bags. The bags are 1,36€ a piece. Wort it to me it takes me some time to fill them up and Im tired of dealing with the dust anymore.
I guess new filters for the Metabo are costly?
What is that cleaner running with ? Gasoline ?
Kerosene
Us oldies call paraffin in the uk
So thats why all the corded you fix have those big aftermarket plugs?
You have brilliant content, but please get someone to film you or use a tripod, when you release a video i automatically check the aspirin stock.😅
49:50 need bearings and the fan cleaned out so bad lmao
Never thought that grease could stop machines from running.
who do i go to for a decent cordless grinder then?
im looking for a makita battery pwered saw second hand for under 100$
watching you cleaning those vacuum filters, I could feel my lungs turning black ang clogging with dust.
Is that switch Pacific to DeWalt or can it be bought online is it similar to any other switch Dean
Hard to know, it's a branded switch, so the body is standard for the manufacture. But the actual trigger head is probably custom for dewalt. But dewalt do use this switch in other tools. Sobyou can do some research and buy the switch from another tool. But it's very time consuming
Yes that's very true just takes up way too much time
What degreaser do you use in your wash tank?
You can buy 1 gallon cans of WD-40. It works great! My 2 cents.
Kerosene
This day and age these companies need to be made to supply parts individually ie that switch so they can be repaired rather than landfill by again...
I agree, from a sustainability point its absurd that its a chuck away tool
@joaocosta3374 having a part and making it cost prohibited to actually repair or selling parts independently to each other is the issue
Hey good job.but I can smell that silica dust down here in Australia.ha hah
Yah, Jesus Dean put a mask on!
Don't understand why transformer is so hardened. I get that it's a Jobsite version but that seems like severe overkill. (Yank here in Oz)
Not a tech but as it's used on a building site in rain and mud, probably waterproofs the delicate bits?
Lol the sound of the wet paint brush in the parts wash makes me cringe lol...love the videos though lol
Two things make me 😂 the way you toss the parts on the bench and how you use another brands tool to take them apart . Skill on Dewalt like adding a little insult to the tool for failing 😂😂😂

I'll give you a clue: begins with 'M', has an 'a' at the end, and rhymes with 'Nakita'.

I Always Heard Those Dewalt Powertools Wh'er Junk.
I Never Hear Anything About
Ryobi Or Milwaukee.
That vacuum is HORRIBLY 0ver-Engineered.
That Keyang wouldn't knock the skin off my wifes gravy.
I would be happy. if you can give it to me. A tool that has been damaged cannot be repaired. at least I can have the tool. and repair it yourself. in my own way.❤❤
I’m sure you were not wearing any respirator while blowing out all that concrete dust. Jesus wept. Hahaha
Amazing DeWalt get away with making a product like that angle grinder, they shouldn't be allowed to make it economically unrepairable.
Another absolutely cracking one Dean 👍🏻👍🏻. Brilliant repairs as ever mate. I think the most satisfying one blowing the hover out😮😮. I've changed my brushes in my DeWalt chop saw and the automatic brake has stopped working. Any idea guys 🤔🤔
Brake could be the secondary winding in the field or else the switch
@@deandohertygreaser Cheers mate 👍🏻
👌👌👍👍
I can’t with these site transformers. How many have fallen off of a scaffolding onto someone’s head you reckon? 😅
None. They are too expensive
transformer wouldnt be allowed on site like that. they should be at a 240v outlet usually in a dedicated 'safe' zone. it should be a 110v cable going up the scaffold.
you can fill a bag of concrete with the dust on that vac, lol
Dean sure loves pointing with authority! And slapping the tools. Lol
This is blatant design flaw in the Fakita planer.
If people would use an air compressor their tools would have a longer life
110volt being less likely to stop the heart, at 5 amp compared to 240v at 13amp. To actually stop the heart all you need is 0.7amp, so big difference going from 5amp to 13amp. ( the amp reduces as its conducted, so skinny people would get a bigger shock to the heart as far less resistance).
Everyone is different thought so I shouldn't generalise about skinny people
Why can other countries make the same quality stuff easy to use easy to fix as the Japanese do?
Hey friend, your video content left a deep impression on me. Is it possible for us to collaborate on a project at some point? Let me know your thoughts and keep working hard!
Dean. Could you not have a box to put all the parts in instead of throughing them all over your bench. It kinda degrades your excellent knowledge and work on all these different tools. Just my opinion.
6:57 dude tore that thing apart faster than a trained soldier on a rifle
cant hear you or understand you
Someone sold Ireland a ticket down the globalist garden path with mandatory 120 volt site transformers. 120 is the common mains voltage in the USA and it makes you no more or less dead than 240 volts does. This is just a way for Ireland to mandate the use of USA market tools, of which none are actually made in the USA. I worked with an Irish electrician many years ago. 240 volts grabs onto you better, but if it's your time to go, 120 volts will take you there just as easily. Lots of large USA industrial sites used 240 volt power tools exclusively, because stealing them was pointless.
Rubbish mate, it's just an outdated trend in the UK and Ireland that we use 110v site tools, the regulations used to call for them in at least the UK but now 230v tools are allowed on sites as long as there is a tested RCD on them.
The idea was that because it's 55v on each leg (similar to how 208v is two phases in the states), touching the single 55v leg while grounded is less likely to kill you, and that does carry out to the real world, but since portable RCDs have come into play, it's not mandatory anymore.
People are just used to and bought into the system now and hence still use them.
