First Makita Warranty repair of 2025. Makita DHR280 SDS Drill won't go into hammer drill mode

- You would be suprized how little makita tools I actually get in for warranty repair.
I wouldn't have repaired 10 makita tools under warranty last year.
This is one of the reasons why I recommend makita tools.

And there we go, Proof is in the pudding as they say....DeWalt would have dried out, Milwaukee....Motor would have just died....Makita.....Metal part readily available & next to nothing cost wise to replace. This is why i love watching...No BS fixing!! Love my Makita tools, regardless what others say. I know it's not going to cost me a kidney to replace it. Thanks for the video Dean.
Well said
I’ve registered all my tools with Mkaita and they have either sttraight up replace or repair tools that were even out of warranty. I just wish they had a bigger store footprint in the U.S.A..
If it was Milwaukee, most likely, it would be the motor controller that dies, it sadly seems like a common trend with them.
What's the problem with dewalt? How do you mean they dry out?
@@dannydore8038 Dean says it dries out because the geese is not that good.
Makita will always be the best all around tools. Tough, durable and fixable. Not like some throw away junk
I love it how you just throw the pieces on the table in a pile when you take a machine apart. It shows your experience and confidence that you can put it together again with ease. It makes it obvious you have in-depth knowledge off these tools. Very professional and a pleasure to watch. 👋👌👍
another awesome repair video.. Thank You so much for sharing your time and experience to show others how these tools are repaired the correct way. Talk about a valuable education.. its priceless .. you SIR are a international treasure. I will never repair most of these tools .. but I sure do love to watch you work and learn about them .. and how they are made.. I mean just that seeing how they are made helps people know what to buy.. I can ramble all day.. Thank You again.. Love and Prayers to you and your family. Love ya Brother !!
Dean you are totally awesome. A brilliant smooth nature. A very down to earth guy. I admire the honesty. And your skill set. Just sitting here watching your channel in Vegas. Tu for the education
Thanks 👍
Classic! Dr Dean saves another patient and keeps the boys rolling
Great work Dean thanks for sharing 🦘
Thank you for making us feel accomplished this morning 🤙
Loved the video.Magic touch of your hands to fix the selector.Others would have fumbled for hours
Love your videos cheers mate. I searched for one of a gearbox issue on the BHP451 that I treasure and I was happy to see you had one! I'll be at it! Bought it in 2007 and it went strong until about a year ago. I even just bought another secondhand for my girlfriends flat in Rome! It's a beast. Thanks for the great work 🦾🦾🦾
have one myself, they where one of the best cordless drills ever made. Might actualy do a teardown and repair video on my own one soon.
@@deandohertygreaser that'd be amazing - I'm sure there'd be lots of appreciation 🙌🙌
@@demonidanzanti I'd echo this.
I sure do wish id known of this channel before i "upgraded" my tools a few years back and bought the red 18v fuel impact, drill/driver and multitool in 3 years ive replaced the multitool , fast charger and drill/driver . Plus the impact doesn't always change direction initially when i move the selector on the 1st trigger pull !. Such quality
Isn't marketing a wonderful thing?
I'ts a real shame tbh that the Red brand has gone down this dreadful route & sadly anything made after 2020 is going to fail constantly. I had the same issues as anyone else with the Red branded goods where they would just fail unexpectedly right when i needed the reliability. so before buying anything else tool wise i always consult Dean's repairs. All tool's fail and i get that, But it's how good the backup is & parts are available.
Never seen a 2x18V SDS
Looks like a beast!
Yea, they are brilliant machine. The twin 18v tools are very good. Like the 40v Makita range but you don't need to buy into a new battery platform. You can use the same 18v batteries. very good idea.
@@deandohertygreaser This is what i'm in - brushed 190mm 36v, brushed sds 36v and brushless 230mm grinder. Plus I have corded 110v of the above when I need to go bananas.
I won't be going 40v until the batteries fail or the tools fail and aren't economical to repair.
Nice job Dean, looking forward to the next video!!!
Masterful dissection and problem solving Dean. We are in the midst of changing over our tool inventory from Dewalt, they have their ups but too much downtime for constant maintenence and broken parts. Seems Dewalt quality keeps going downhill. We were starting to switch over to Milwaukee but the controllers and motors keep frying and the cost of repair doesn't add up. We are buying Makita tools now and so far they are keeping the boys happy and moving along.
For most part, I find makita the brand to go for.
A local furniture manufacturer here several production lines running flat out.
They where using all air tools. But had to modernise and go cordless for thier tools. Like most the didn't know what brand to go for.
So they took no chances and decided to go with Hilti tools. They took out a fleet contract with Hilti to supply and maintain all thier tools.
The Hilti drills where only lasting 2 days. Between them sending tools back to hilti and hilti contacts sending out new ones. Hilti asked to leave the contact.
They asked the shop I work for, what to buy. And we recommend makita, so theu bought 50 drills and batteries. With myself to do warranty repairs for them as they failed.
That was 2 years ago, and I never got a single broken drill from them. They are all still running.
Makita for the win.
OOOOH you have my interest, this is the drill I was going to get but went with the brushed version for a lot less used.
Thumbs up.
Thanks Dean!!!!
Any time!
Cheers Dean.
Good work
Well done.👏🇮🇪
Its really interesting to see. A lot of people i work with all have Milwaukee and then complain when they die and can't be repaired or have issues with the batteries. Yes there are specialist tools that only Milwaukee do but personally I'll stick with my Makita as they are fully serviceable and the batteries allow air to flow through them. Having spoken with a few repair agents they all said Makita is a lot better for repairs with the availability of spare parts
It looks rather tricky to persuade the changer mechanism to stay put as you fit the front cover again. Great analysis as always Dean.
Nice one Dean, love the videos. If you were out on a site day in day out, which tool brand would you use?
Makita
They may not be the most modern powerhouses but theres something to be said for team blue and their repairability. The red team certainly could learn from these guys
Which brand gets the most warranty repairs? Is that your neighbor's wall you're drilling? Great video! Thanks for sharing!
As always great content interested to know what the magnetic tool was that you use to find the broken bit was thanks in advance
A Nebo Big larry torch, it has a magnet on the bottem
@@deandohertygreaser thank you
The magnets on some of these torches are better than some of the bare magnets found in DIY shops, great use of a tool.
отличная рубашка для вытирания масла!
👍👍
Hi, I wanted to know what grease you use to lubricate the tool gears
It's a generic Bosch grease as it's a thick sticky lubricant.
Thanks Dean for speeding up the 9 million screws toy have to take in and out. lol 😂 Cheers mate. If they put some of that screw metal into some more of the parts tools would last longer. Some of the things the make out of plastic that they put inside is ridiculous.
I'd definitely have needed the parts diagram for that !
Nice one how are you today and I'm doing good
Dean whats your view on einhell drills?
It's like buying kfc or Nando's, They are both chicken and i love it. But it's all about experience & handling. They will get the job done but at what cost ? if you doing weekend DIY then Einhell will do the job, but i don't know anyone who has them as a reliable alternative to the mainstream titans.
Currently tempting myself with one of these sds's! What's you opinion on there's Dean? Would you recommend? Any problems to look out for? Cheers!
😊 joia 👍 a mesma mecânica do martelete a cabo 2631
❤Dean what cordless drill would you buy to use with a large whisk to stir tar in a 5 gallon bucket?
Your misses must luv washing your work cloths!
No, the other spring! 😮
Still recovering from the last mixer repair - there is nothing better than a tool that has to be excavated to repair 😂
Those selectors play up like a 2nd hand lawnmower
Hi Dean, if you're replacing the grease in an SDS, is there a generic brand that you would recommend?
Hi Dean great video as always I'm a makita guy got most of everything lol iv just bought a Dhr 242 making a right rattling noise inside striped it open was piston put it all back together and it's perfect now no noise but I won't to know what is that thick grease you put into them I think its the bosh grease you use code I have the proper code number for it many thanks
The Bosch grease is 1 615 430 001.
but its a big tube.
This makita one is what is actually used in these gearboxes, but it is a bit lighter.
amzn.to/40USCLW
@deandohertygreaser thanks for your reply appreciate it and yes iv bought 4 tubs of the makita grease that was easy to find i looked through you videos just couldn't find the bosh grease you put in also I have a DHR242 and a DHR243 with the quick release heads on it but I'm after the quick release std drill head if you have a code lable for it I can't find any on ebay or google cheers Dean again 👍👍
Just wondering are these like the 18v model, on mine you have to rotate the drill to change the mode.
Really like the design of this tool. Wish Makita had an 18/54 volt flex-volt option like Dewalt.
I can't speak for the last year or two units of Flexvolt batteries. But I have seen too many flexvolt 2017-2020 batteries failing due to going out of balance or terminals inside breaking. It doesn't matter how they fail as there isn't a repair market out there for batteries in the UK unless you will do them yourself. Hikoki too with their multi volt. The BMS systems in these don't seem to have the reliability they should have.
Stay with 18v on the lighter tools like Impact, jigsaw and go 60v on SDS, Grinder & Circ Saw.
@@shifty277 Hmm, wonder if the 36-volt Makita batteries have to be balanced as well? I'd be willing to bet there is a solution. I have heard of, but haven't seen, the issues with the Flex-volt. I'd like to think that Makita would have implemented it right, but maybe the dual-18's was, in fact, the right way to go?
I noticed, Metabo are now manufacturing and selling BRUSHLESS corded grinders Dean, do you think we go towards that where even corded (higher power) tools like SDS, grinders, Routers go brushless?
Have you come across the brushless grinders in your neck of the woods?
Which grease do you use. The Bosch stuff is quite expensive. Are there any alternatives you can recommend?
30g tubes of Makita stuff for the likes of us home users that might repair or regrease one tool every other year. Just google 30g Makita grease, it's in a see through bottle lots of shops on ebay will have them.
I need a hammer for very occasional home use breaking small concrete...any suggestions
Question here sir.
Some sds hammer drill(dewalt for sure) seems to have rather unnecessarily heavy duty spring like this one 7:33 in front of it. I wonder what is that for? Is that there for only allow the machine to hammer when you push the bit aginst the concrete so it doesn't desroy it self when running idle I guess? or just recoil absorption
That big spring is to operate the clutch. When the drill bit binds up in a hole, that spring can compress and allow the clutch gear to slip. saving the operator from a broken wrist or thrown of a ladder.
@deandohertygreaser
Thanks. After reading your explanation I had to search for the image of the clutch gear on google, and finally got it.😂😂
Is it possible to stop the rotary power dial from vibrating loose when in use? I have the dhr400 and it drops down to 2-3 from 5 after 30seconds.
Dean, did you ever get any bosch 18v SDS drill on the shop? I only see the older 36v stuff.
Have a search on the channel I think he probably has.
The trouble is he sometimes does a repairathon of say 10 different tools in an hour format and it isn't feasible to put the model numbers of 10 tools in the YT title.
Bosch 18v tools (imo) do not carry the same reputation that their corded tools do.
I'd like Dean's take on that if possible.
@shifty277 yeah I barely see any bosch 18v tools here
Where to get parts dean espically 3 e
We all think he’s great but the neighbors must hate him… banging nails into the kitchen door one day and drilling holes into the living room wall the next.
Does your wife go crazy because of the grease on your clothes? you wipe everything with your shirt🤣
Another great video, any chance of a cordless grinder review 🙏
I could maybe make this repair given a month.
Hey mate I've bought a bunch of makita tools at an auction and got my money worth with what I could get going. Would you like to have them for content?
That switch selector is a bad design
Every repair seems to be some kind of demo hammer. What in the world are they tearing down in Ireland--the whole infrastructure? ;-)
first
A cheap repair Dean well spotted
Well done.👏🇮🇪
