In my experience, this happens more often than it should. I have had to finish manufacturing quite a few items before putting them into service. Of course, in most cases, it is a simple matter to return an item when it malfunctions out of the box. This was a really cool video!
somebody just told me the other day that the local big chain home improvement stores just pitch those returns into the dumpster out back because it's not worth it to ship them back to the mfg. I'm thinking I need to find a contact at such a place and have new free tools coming out my ears.
Zack Of All Trades That's not completely true... close tho. I worked at one of them for a number of years. When I was doing it, we called for return authorization or held them until a rep came by depending on the distributor. Some products have a "no questions asked" policy and are automatically approve for credit. Anything that is credited has to be sent back or "destroyed". It is a contractual obligation to throw things away. That being said... "throwing it away" can mean different things to different people. .
There is a self-satisfied feeling that comes with fixing something. I was so proud of my self macgyvering the power window motors on one of my cars. The nylon nuts inside were worn out so it was sloppy and wouldn't grab anything. I greased up three metal speed nuts and laid then in the place the plastic gears would have been upside down, added more grease and put it together and the windows worked perfect ever since.
Thank you Zack. I am really enjoying your channel. Great idea showing us how to do things for ourself. I've already learned some things from you that I will not forget. Thanks.
Outstanding! that's what I hope to accomplish with the channel, that and earn a little extra cabbage while I'm at it. I'm really glad to hear that feedback. Thank you Steve
Oh man, if you succeed you're a better man than I. I had a decent flat screen kicking around for quite some time while I replaced capacitors and resistors and who knows what all else all to no avail. I finally admitted defeat and threw it out.
Hi Zack. I've got a Black and Decker 18v drill model CD18SR and sparks fly from inside the housing when I pull the trigger and also a faint electrical smell. Does this motor have brushes? I don't know.
Hi Zack, enjoyed this video of yours very much. If I can ask a question about my dilemma. I have a Black and Decker corded drill # DR350 FD, My problem was I had to take the drill apart to replace the power cord. In doing so I could not get the wires out of the switch to replace them with my new power cord, so what happened I had to take the switch apart and in doing so I have a part that I don't know where it goes. It's a small flat shiny steel piece and I have no idea where the hell it goes back in the switch. Everything else goes back together fine except for this piece. It's like a fancy shaped shiny L shaped piece of steel. Any clues on where the hell it could go? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, George
Why did you skip the ball bearings part when you assembled it back. After disassembling my drill I wasn't sure how to assembly it back, I am now off to another video to figure out that part.
To funny, that drill is new, anyone or every drill I ripped apart has signs of wear or at leased dust or dirt in the little vents.. Anyway you crack the chuck disassemble it . Thanks I have 4 or 5 black decker 3 cheap one like yours and 2 with low n hi speed all in 5 gallon bucket forgot who s who n whats what
now another question should be, should it be saved lol. I vote no on the black and decker. I just spent all day replacing power cords, next job is a big commercial one and our tools have to be 'safe' for some reason lol
Willem that is quite the observation, if you do hear AvE influence, it's entirely unmanufactured so much so that I can't find where you see it after watching the vid a couple of times. His is one of the channels I enjoy the most and find the faceless man to be quite entertaining so it's entirely possible that I have been unwittingly influenced.
That's one of those great feelings of accomplishment, whenever you fix something. you feel master of the universe, or Tom Hanks making fire in Castaway.. great job. BTW towards the end of the video you had me squirming in my chair with nervous anticipation, same as the chisel incident video. Leaving that bin of ball bearings on the bench! I was just waiting for you to bump it. at least put a magnet in the bin.
True story about the Tom Hanks fire feeling!! That cracks me up about the ball bearing squirm, but I am just bumbling enough to knock it over. Good idea about a magnet, I'll give it a try.
I'm not really a tool snob, but I don't think a black and decker drill would ever be worth fixing, or buying for that matter haha. But principle is still there and enjoyed the video non the less
Now that I think about it more, I think that I'm not really having the right mind set. Although the drill may be inexpensive, it will always be worth fixing some thing if it's free. Just not more first choice of brand
That's a fair assessment on one hand, digging all the way into the guts of this thing I did see some of it's warts and the things that really relegate it to the "home gamer" category. On the other hand, it's the best cordless drill I've got and at the best possible price so.... Thanks for watching man!
I have two B&D drills similar like in the video (mine are 12V versions). The difference that I noticed: - model named CD12C: has all metal gears (3+3) and metal ring/hoop, original battery (A9252 - technology of the battery is not marked) is slightly lighter (494g). - model named CD12CAH: has 3 nylon gears (near the chuck) and 3 metal gears (near the motor) and plastic tube/hoop, original battery (A9271 - NiMH technology) is heavier (580g). (therefore, the second one might be produced with shorter work-life?) Can somebody tell anything about the differences between batteries? My experience is that this drills are well made and can work perfectly for non-demanding user for 15 years or even more (including the battery - when charged, both show 13+V potential)

I see said the blind man, well I guess I'll just stick to my friends giving me their busted stuff. Thanks for the clarification, GP

it is absolutely incomparable, especially when you substitute parts like that. Bravo Sir

I'm so glad I found your channel. You have a new sub and I have a marathon to watch now.
I'm very glad you found it as well, I hope you find plenty to learn and or be entertained by!
Nice! I love doing this kind of stuff. I'm waiting to get some parts for a flatscreen tv right now.
Oh man, if you succeed you're a better man than I. I had a decent flat screen kicking around for quite some time while I replaced capacitors and resistors and who knows what all else all to no avail. I finally admitted defeat and threw it out.

I used the hertz strew driver and the strew won't release. How can I get the strew out.
Two thumbs up Zack
I'm told that DeWalt is the commercial end of Black & Decker. Maybe the DeWalt version has metal gears instead of the nylon ones.
That's quite possible. Although they're not exactly comparable, the dewalt power screwdriver I fixed DID have metal gears.
Hii sir this black and decker does not have a battery protection circuits
Lucky you. Congrats on the "new" used tool.
Why thank you, beats the heck outta no drill. :)
now another question should be, should it be saved lol. I vote no on the black and decker. I just spent all day replacing power cords, next job is a big commercial one and our tools have to be 'safe' for some reason lol
It's a fair question, in my case a less than best drill is better than no drill at all so I'm happy with it. Safe? safe schmafe let 'em eat cake
Were you in the military? I see what we called a "maf bag" on the table , although I think it's used for alot more than mafs
Do they have brush ? I got the 12 v wen I completely squeeze the trigger down it stops
They do have brushes but I don’t think they’re replaceable in this model
mine still works but in any speed it is still slow. do you have an idea what could be the problem? thank you
Did i hear some AvE influences?
Nice drill rebirthing!

what if i have an old black&decker england sl1 3yd 12v, and it's pretty slow it could be a motor or a battery, right?
Being slow, I'd lean more toward the battery being worn out.
But the motor smells too! and god a new battery for it cost around 43usd here in denmark
Fixed this very Drill
Great video!
Thanks Dutch. I'm just stoked to have a free drill!
Does it reverse?

Clever.
Thanks Vinnie, I was pretty pleased with myself for figuring it out. Thanks for watching, Man.
Nylon gears. That's why I've never bought B&D tools. At least not after the first one.
i realize I am quite randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to stream newly released series online ?
@Caleb Odin lately I have been using Flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Royal Onyx Definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone for since april myself =)
@@royalonyx2919 Before anyone does that, watch this:

@Royal Onyx Thanks, I went there and it seems to work :) I appreciate it !
Thanks sar i india
you cleverly hidden your mistake that the first time you didn't put the gear balls back :)
I have two B&D drills similar like in the video (mine are 12V versions). The difference that I noticed:
- model named CD12C:
has all metal gears (3+3) and metal ring/hoop,
original battery (A9252 - technology of the battery is not marked) is slightly lighter (494g).
- model named CD12CAH:
has 3 nylon gears (near the chuck) and 3 metal gears (near the motor) and plastic tube/hoop,
original battery (A9271 - NiMH technology) is heavier (580g).
(therefore, the second one might be produced with shorter work-life?)
Can somebody tell anything about the differences between batteries?
My experience is that this drills are well made and can work perfectly for non-demanding user for 15 years or even more (including the battery - when charged, both show 13+V potential)
I threw away all my "ball-bearings" can you send me one! LOL!
Neat video...Thanks!
Thanks Tom! I'm sure I've got one around here somewhere :)
What size of Torx do you use to get the chuck off?
goos job.
Thanks Matt, I've now used it in a semi professional setting for about 18 hours worth and it's held up quite nicely.
No.Mosfet is...?
Great, but being a Dumb Guy, I would have liked to see the reassembly.
It's yours brutha. Send me a Facebook message when you want to get it. I can put it in the back of my truck and you can just get it at work sometime.
We'll work something out for sure.
