It's hilarious how closely the thick square rubber pad and fender washer on your lid looks like the thick square rubber pad and fender washer on the lids of both of my tumblers.
Everything inside the motor was corroded. I could replace the motor but then I still have a crappy lid design. I got a whole setup from Frankford Arsenal that I like much better.
Another problem is the cheap plastic used for the bowl and the threaded steel rod through the middle for the thumbscrew to hold the lid on. The plastic is eventually pierced through at many places and throws out the grit. There is no doubt that a durable genuine rubber bowl is needed. The steel rod is inappropriate for this machine since the vibration causes the the thumbscrew to abrade away the thread and it can no longer hold the lid on. The lid should be held on by nice and expensive and durable rubber straps.
Yep! Same thing kept happening to all MY old ..."vibrators..." but they were battery powered! Now...I'm far more discerning...though my electric bill did seem to increase. But you gotta take the good with the bad...checks and balances and all that.
I forgot all about BK Precision. Yhat was the brand of multimeter i got when i started working as a field technician! It was from yhe same era too. I upgryto a newer fluke a year later.
Can you do a trouble shooting video on the drill master rotary tool?? It just stopped working out of nowhere. Sure, I could take it back and get a refund, but where is the fun in that? I want to get in there and play surgeon lol thanks bro
Yo I know harbor freight over heats so I put a fan right next to it hopefully the motor won't burn out for awhile. And I just use my nose to see if it's bad or good my ass be at the swap meet whiffing every thing that has motor or capacitor or etc
Well, I can tell you from first hand experience! The biggest problem is the closure. After an hour or two the wing nut loosens up and the vibratory friction heats up the washer until it melts through the cheap plastic lid and the lid flies off. An alternate closure method (elastic tubing around the bowl, a bigger washer, etc) does the trick and it works great! Cleaned thousands of brass shells with it before it died
Did bro really just throw out a harbor freight tool that had a LIFETIME WARRANTY? Ya should have just slapped it back together and have them give you a new one

Enjoyed you video more than anything on mainstream tv..
Keep up the good work sir, we shall return .🤠🇺🇲
The bearing is warn because of the ofset Wight the rotating part is hitting the field magnet stopping it from rotating.
That was good and I REALLY enjoyed the humor. Good job there sir!
“Suck it energizer” 😂
My kind of person, love this video! Also shoutout to Dave and his old ass stuff fixing his other old ass stuff!
Sad ending tho. Why not clean the inners of the motor and try again?

Now you have justification to buy the pass-through socket set you've always wanted!
You crack me up dude thanks for the video this is my problem exactly down to the someone’s home buzz 5$ at my local goodwill
Yeah run a motor severely out of balance for long periods of time. What could possibly go wrong?

Sandpaper around the copper reel woulda helped.
"If i have to thread that nylon locknut 8 inches, im just gonna throw it out" hahahahaha
Always buy the extended warranty’s on all stuff from harbor freight its worth it to just return the stuff once you have used it a while and get new.
Maybe there was something stuck in there against the windings making it scratch the rotor up like that. You didn't check in there

So would you buy another one?

Hah! The seven dollar one?
Hahahahahahaha i love it, your funny dude. Thanks for the video
Yep. Melted the lid around the lid screw on mine and it flew apart... Garbage!

I think it was the lack of protection that kills them- nothing to keep spilt blasting media from penetrating the armature and bearings
Great video, but I can't find a good review of it doing its job

I coulda fixed it. Next time just send whatever it is to me. It will get the care it needs.
Shit if you got it a couple years ago you definitely got what you paid for in a $60 tumbler
That’s my mantra every time I toss a dickered harbor freight tool.
You tumble grass?
B
Have you ever heared of tumble weed?
Did bro really just throw out a harbor freight tool that had a LIFETIME WARRANTY? Ya should have just slapped it back together and have them give you a new one
90 day warranty. Only hand tools have lifetime warranties
The voice doesn't match the arm lol
