I found one of these at a thrift store it cost me $9 cdn. I got rid of the useless NiCad battery and put in an 8.4 volt Makita lithium ion screw diver battery. The thing runs like a hot damn now, it is a little faster and goes longer between charges, These little Makita's are really well built and I'm sure the motor and the switch will handle the extra voltage no problem. This little drill is rapidly becoming one of my favorite tools.
I got a bunch of these. 4.8 and 7.2v. Gonna start converting them to lithium ion. Love these drills. Was introduced to them by an old electrician. Wish me luck.
@@sandbaggin26x40 still going strong. One battery is enough but I bought some charge control boards from eBay that I’m going to use to build an on board charge controller. Right now I charge them using the tenergy external lion battery controllers. But it works well. I’ll work on them and make a video. Problem the lion batteries are either 3.2v or 7.4v. My favorite drills are 4.8v right in between.
I always waiting for your new video All your video that post on youtube is awesome I give you one like to you .Good job. It doesn't work anymore, Your restoration any kind machine. You always make it work. These Comments For You !!! You always make me happy. I watching your video to get rid of my stress. All the machine smell so good and wash with soap. how much you bought the Old Model Cordless Drill
Beautiful Japanese made tool. Built to last! I have one of the old 7.2v drills still going strong. Love them. Great restoration as always. Good to see you make use of the restored tools too like that hitachi.
I've got a model of this drill which is even earlier than this one. Its made in the USA for starters and the color of the plastic is red, from before Makita went with their signature blue. I inherited it and its missing it charger (no big deal, just use a different 7.2V charger) and the old NiCad's need to be replaced but apart from that its still in great shape!
I rebuilt an old drill similar to that as well. Amazing what those little drills can do with fresh batteries. You did a nice job rebuilding that one. It will do the job for some years to come... Thumbs Up!
haha! Very nice... You knew that battery was never ever working, right???? Heh heh. Age alone... That thing is vintage late 1980s... I remember when those were the new thing.... I also presume your battery tester/charger box does not have a NiCd setting? I'm 99.5% sure those were NiCad.... Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMh) came years later.....
I was thinking the same thing before I read your comment. I used a Makita like that one in 1987 to do alarm installations. Back then rechargeable batteries were strictly NiCd. Interestingly NiCd batteries last a long time. I had 7.2 volt R/C car battery packs that would still take a charge after more than 20 years.
I’m jealous of your soldering iron, mine doesn’t want to heat up enough, and my new one caused the main breaker in my house to pop! Great restoration though!
@@timehunter9467 normal sockets in the EU are protected by a 16A Circuit Breaker . If the circuit breaker trips instantly you create a power consumption over 80A wich is the power needed to directly trip the circuit breaker. Unless you have big power supplies or heavy electric motors connected that all get power at the same time it is not likely that the circuit breaker trips.
At least you have standard sized batteries in your drill. I had a very old Black & Decker (made in France in the late 1970's or 1980's I'm guessing) which had the weirdest batteries. The battery pack was sealed like a laptop's but it had NiCads instead. I had to destroy the plastic casing to get at the batteries. The plastic casing had quite thick walls and the batteries were glued into the casing with a copious amount of glue. Finally the batteries themselves were definitely non-standard measuring approx. 10cm or 2.5 inches long with 2 of them in the case. I decided to scrap the unit and re-purposed the chuck and motor. The chuck now resides on a drill guide (for drilling square to surfaces) which in turn is an older style which required you to unscrew the chuck from the drill and attach it to the guide! The motor is now part of a home made vibratory cleaner. :)
i had a cute little makita 4.8 volt cordless just like that once upon a time. it got stolen along with many other tools when my toyota truck was stolen. it was great for when i just needed to make small holes. i should look on ebay for another one.
Great job! I just found one at work that they let me restore. I know it's an old video, but I'm trying to find out what the actual rating (volts and milliamps) of the charger is to see if I can either find a replacement or charge from USB. Thanks for any info!
Repairing old tools is good for the environment. I try mainly only to buy new bits and drills or an improved drill chuck, accumulators etc. Rusty parts cam be derusted with electrolyse.
I modified mine by using an RC motor and a small ESC years ago. A LiPo battery and external charger. It worked really nice, but at some point i dropped it on the floor and the case broke where i had drill a few ventilation holes for the ESC to cool. :I still kinda bummed about it.
Do you have any videos with Snap On rebuilds? I have a 1/2" impact kit with 2 bad batteries and now a charger that smoked when I last plugged in a battery, and now does nothing. It no longer lights even. Love the videos. Is there any source of low cost batteries and chargers? I'm in the USA. Batteries here seem to run about $5-7 X 6, about the same as a battery pack for many tools?
Important: Back turn the screws first feeling for the "click" then screw them in. best way to deal with screws in plastic holes. Big Question... how long do you connect the charger? That drill & charger has no indicator when it's fully charged?
I have three old style Makita is my last one the smaller one from the early 80s finally gave out in the gear area I wish that I could get them all three restored gear wise I miss them! Work Around here is not the same without
@@gear_show Thanks I’m just looking for a tool shop around here that can put in the gears for me because I borrowed my neighbors drill my exes drill and none of them work as well as my Makita
I have that exact model and wonder where to obtain new Batteries. They are NiCd. Does not matter. I also have a couple Makita 7.6 V drills I need batteries for. They are ancient and the cost of a new drill. I also have a 6041D model 4.8 Volt. NiCd. I would need a new charger to use Limh Batteries.
I have the identical drill in the box brand new, found in a bin, unfortunately it doesn't have a battery inside, can you please give me the specs of a replacement i can use?...cheers

Return the new one! Faulty.

I was just curious by chance do you sell any of your tools that you revive
I will in the future, now I keep all tools for use and test how well I restore.
They come in a pack so you get a small drill and a larger drill i have the set and looks brandnew
U are a genius
Awesome as always.

THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO,BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CHARGING OF THE BATTERY
Por favor me pones el circuito de carga de este taladro
Todo excelente. ¿ pero con qué y x donde recarga la bateria?
This tool has battery adapter charger like you charge the laptop.
