Thanks for the video. I still have the SB2-480 that I bought in 1979 or 1980, and also a saw attachment and saw table that work with it. I still have the instruction manuals that came with the drill and attachments. The drill still works well, but I use a modern cordless for most of my jobs now. After watching your video I will definitely give my AEG drill some TLC. I always found the saw table useful and would like to start using that again.
Hey man, I have an AEG SB2E-601. Had an SB2E-451 before that. Same style as yours. My current one had a sticker inside the shell with the manufacturing date. The 601 that I have now was built in 1979. Considering the style of your drill, yours should be between 1971 and 1978 I think. (I've had a couple of these hammer drills over the years - and still have a bunch of AEG tools, both vintage and modern) I know it's from BEFORE the birth of my drill, because mine has a black plastic casing around the aluminium gear box housing. And I know it's from AFTER 1969/1970, since they started to ditch the "full aluminium body" style of professional tools, and use Nylon/glass fiber casings (PA6-GF30, aka Nylon6 w/ 30% glass fiber reenforcement) for housing the electrically conductive parts of the tools (aka body + handle). (Easier to use in the rain / at wet/damp locations, without all customers dying, I thinkl ;])
Most comprehensive restoration you have done, very nice! Keep these restorations coming, they're interesting stuff and people can learn a thing or two.
Thanks I appreciate the kind words. Still have another Fein Supercut to finish (waiting on parts), and an AEG nibbler that I picked up for $12 that looks to be in good condition.
Wow i have an aeg hammer drill and another larger one that looks like this. These were my grandpas old tools that I've come up on. He was a general contractor and has many tools i would like to learn about.
I own a similar one that my father bought back in the early 1970s (can't tell you the exact model number as it is in the other house). It is a 220 V model, has the same gearbox, but an additional electronic RPM control with a potentiometer and some electronics that are supposed to keep a constant RPM under load, which works only up to a certain degree. I still have the original case and lots of accessories, among them a circular saw. It is a great quality tool. Nice to see it restored.
Yeah some of the later models had electronic speed control, which was indicated by an "Electronic" stick on the handle. I recently uploaded a couple of vintage AEG manuals to the website where you might find some additional information: www.germantoolreviews.com/reference/vintage-tool-catalogs/ Yeah I like finding the original AEG steel cases, I actually have a couple units that are in the pipeline to be restored. The next one up is the PHD 38.
I love your restoration videos. It's great to see these things come back to life, how they were put together and the quality and attention that went into their construction. I wish Post Apocalyptic Inventor would have kept making more of his restoration videos. Keep up the great work!
Vielen Dank für die Video-Hilfe. Supergut erklärt vom Fachmann. Ich habe zwei AEG SB2E-450 und benutze sie problemlos seit etwa 40 Jahren. Für die AEG SB 600 eines Bekannten möchte ich die Kohlenbürsten wechseln und werde dieses Video nutzen. Vielen, vielen Dank. Daumen hoch und abonniert.😊
Thanks for watching! If you can find it I would. They stopped making these in the 80s but I'm sure there are still one's floating around in pawn shops / flea markets etc.
Thanks. Just picked up an old drill yesterday at a junk shop. Looks like this but maybe a model earlier given all the slotted screws. This helped a lot for the restore.
I have a similar "Made in West Germany" Bosch corded hammer drill (not SDS) which I picked up for peanuts. My father used to have the same model which performed brilliantly until he got jeweler's rouge in it and threw it away. 🤦 I disassembled my drill and replaced the dry grease, but it's kind of sluggish now - maybe it's a dirty contact. The carbon brushes were fine, but I forgot to clean the commutator, so I'll have to take it apart again sometime, which should increase the power. I'm not bothered by the surface scratches, they are part of its charm to me. I love these older German tools - they're built to last and tough as nails. All the best from bonnie Scotland.
Ich konnte eine AEG-Bohrmaschine SB 4 550 für nur 10 € kaufen. Daran ist nichts auszusetzen und ich glaube nicht, dass es oft verwendet wurde. Ich verwende es für schwere Arbeiten, die eine niedrige Geschwindigkeit und viel Leistung erfordern.
Got one of these, just took it from a dumpster and still works(but rusty as hell). The only difference is that the speed selector doesn't seem to slide anymore, chuck is locked due to rust and the casing is green, not blue. Guess that I'll restore it using your resto video
If the casing is green it's probably yellowed so much it changed from blue to green. I'll need to restore my 650 too, the speed selector only moves with plenty of force so I suspect the grease is totally hard.
Wow ! excellent info.I bought my SB2E-450 at 1975 and still works as new even after several hard working occasions...but i wondered about opening the gear renewing the grease inside and now with this very helpfull demonstration i don't hasitate doing it.I have some Lithium red grease for it. Well there is no more info on the internet besides yours,and i appreciate it very much !!! Well done and best regards!
Thanks for the information about your AEG drill. I thought that this was a late 1980s drill but it may have been earlier since you have a similar model from 1975. Yes it can be very hard to find information on these old AEG tools since all of the documentation was done in pre-electronic. I'm sure there is a warehouse somewhere in the world with all the manuals/schematics/drawings for these tools but the information is not available online as far as I can tell. There is some information on the 220V AEG European tools but little to no information on the 110V models. I have a couple more crusty AEG drills that I need to restore as well.
@@GermanToolReviews My dad bought an SB2E-450 in the first half of the 70s and I recently salvaged one that lost its name plate but seems to be an SB2E-650. The 650 actually looks older than my dad's 450 but not by all that much. I haven't entirely figured out the naming system but some of it is pretty clear. SB stands for "Schlagbohrmaschine" (hammer drill), E stands for electronic variable speed control and the three-digit number is the power in Watts. No idea what the 2 means. The design changes I've seen in EU models are: - housing surface (glossy on older models, matte on newer ones) - mains lead (grey rubber with black plug on my 650, black rubber with a fancy long moulded plug on my dad's 450 and PVC with a fairly standard moulded plug on later ones) - shape of the gear change knob (either like yours or without the bit sticking out, just a flat piece of plastic with the screw in the centre rather than offset, not an ideal design) There were also RL models that can turn clockwise and counter-clockwise. Standard ones had a separate potentiometer and circuit board for the variable speed, RL ones had the whole speed control and direction selector built into the trigger switch like modern drills. Those drills have beastly amounts of torque, they can easily break your wrist if you mistreat them!
I came as far as 4:11 ( the nut had to be twisted off clockwise which worked great) But i dont get the bearing off; as in 4:14 ; I pull hardly and get a hard resistant, and twisting and pulling dont work.. Baring keeps in position. Please; how did u manage this? Help is very much appreciated
well i gaveup pulling it off, may a special instrument foer pulling ball bearings would help, or just a hammer but i dont think its necessary, anyway..... please read my question before about the washer , answering might help me alot
Thank you for this impressive video; please can you help me by answering the following question: Where does the spiral spring appearing in the movie at 3: 37 on the table left of your hand (under the metal handle) belong to ? I have a very similar AEG Drill Machine (sb4-500).. and when opening the gear housing it fell out before i could look into it. I assume that its the same, as it appears in your video after opening the metal gear housing. FIRST QUESTION SOLVED with the help of ur video: I found on 3:23 The spiral spring can be seen on the axis of the big wheel left part of the housing , but there is another part in question that fell out at the same time when opening the gear housing: A flat metal washer, very thinn, was there e a washer used together with this metal spring above? I watched the video several times but i am not sure, it seems (the picture is very dark on that spot) that there is no washer on the front side of the compression spring, maybe there was a washer to the backside of that spring? I am not sure what a washer should be good for there but i am not an expert, Please can u tell me if ther should be a washer to one of the sides of he spring?
I have one of those drills, got it from a famili member some years ago. It it has been used a lot and I still use it. This machine is really good quality. A new Makita, Bosch or other would be a waste of money when owning one of these!
Hi great restoration, i recently bought the same model for only 10€! I plan on taking i apart and cleaning and regreasing, what type of grease would you recomend?
Hello : That's so great , Thank you so much for sharing That very useful post , In fact I have The same drill , model SB 2E-500 ,WITH 2 SPEED , But I lost The switch since 20 years ago , and I still keep drill , Hope to find a switch part for it . Best regards .
Here in the United States of Am, we have an Oxycholic acid based cleaner called Bar Keepers Friend, that I find works great with cleaning metal and plastics, I wonder how that stacks up to your chemicals? Thanks for sharing.
Yes I have heard of it, it is supposed to be very non-abrasive. I'll see if I can pick some up sometime. I'm always willing to try any new product that may do a better job.
Hello. I would like to thank you for all the videos you make, it's super useful. I have quite the same drill (sb2e-450) but the EMI is dead, and all inscriptions on it are unreadable/erased. Would you be so king and telling me what kind you have on this drill? What's written on it? Thanks a lot. I would really like to make it work again :)
sevgili dostum.Bende 75-76 yıllarında piyasada kullanılan yanılıyorsam düzeltirsiniz.SB250-300 değerleri olan küçük elektrikli darbeli videodaki gibi darbe anahtarı mandrenin arkasında yuvarlak tırtıl çekilmişmetal parçası olan el breyzi diye adlandırdığımız matkaplar gerçekten çok güçlü idi.Çalışan iş sahipleri çok yararlanmış oldular.Şu an bulabilirsem geçmiş günlerimin hatırasına almak isterim.Kullanılmışta olsa geçerlidr.Yardımınız olursa sevinirim.Çalışmalarınızda başarılar dilerim.
Great Video! I just read in an article, the drill was sold for around 220 DM (Deutsche Mark) in Germany in 1973 - that corresponds to approximately 350 Euro today (purchasing power equivalent). Did I unterstand correctly, that the AEG SB2-400 does not have any electronic speed regulation? Does it have any speed range at all or just full speed at gear 1 and full speed at gear 2?
The models without E in the model number didn't have any sort of speed control, just the 2-speed gearbox. The E models were considerably more expensive I think.
Thanks for the video. Today AEG tools is owned by TTI Group and just rebadged Ridgid tools sold in non American markets, and even keeping the orange Ridgid color. TTI owns the Milwaukee, AEG and Ryobi power tool brands among several other brands. Ridgid is not owned by TTI, but Ridgid's line of power tool is made by TTI and identical to TTI's own AEG tools.
Yes I know that the AEG brand name for power tools has been sort of dragged through the mud in recent years. You still AEG on a lot of industrial control equipment that is still made in Germany. But all of the recent AEG/Rigid power tools are now made in the PRC. I still have a couple more West German AEG power tools that I am working on restoring, a sheet metal nibbler and a reversible hammer drill. You surprisingly find these for quite good prices considering the quality.
Actually it was incorrect what I wrote. The AEG Powertools brand is not owned by TTI, but by Swedish household giant Electrolux. TTI has just licensed the rights to use the AEG Powertools brand from Electrolux. While Elextrolux themselves still use their owner rights to manufacture whitegoods under the AEG brand. Some AEG and Electrolux branded white goods / vacuums are identical and just sold under the two different brands depending on the countries. Just like thow other German white goods brands Bosch and Siemens are now virtually identical to each other. And all Miele freezers and and refrigerators are made by Liebherr, so Liebherr and Miele freezers and refrigerators are very similar to each other too. Before the TTI ownership another Swedish company Atlas Copco owned Milwaukee and had licensed AEG Power Tools from Electrolux.
@@ITubeTooInc Atlas Copco kept the quality of Milwaukee and AEG tools on almost acceptable level, as it was before. Nowadays all the "white" products are rubbish. Even Miele. Better to save the money and buy Haier or LG or Sharp.
Great video. Loved that one. Only one criticism, you put a Chinese drill bit into such a beautiful German drill! A least you confessed. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! I don't often use masonry bits which is why I just had some cheap ones lying around. I picked up another AEG tool that included a bunch of "Jordan" brand masonry bits from Denmark. I'm not sure if these are any good as its not a brand I'm familiar with.
hello sir thank you so much for that video because it's help me so much in my restoration .. but mine is AEG SB 2E -680 and it have many many wires i can't deal with it.. because it's written in German language.. so.. can you help me to find service manual for it .. or send me your e-mail to send you picture of the problem i faced..?? thank you so much

I have the slightly younger version of this drill, mechanics are pretty the same but it additionally it has an electronic speed selection... EDIT: It even sounds the same... :)
They're hammer drills and not really meant for concrete, period. If you want to drill concrete you need a rotary drill hammer and even in hard brick they're helpful. They weren't really available to most DIYers when this drill was new though, much too expensive.
Beautiful; brings back memories of 1987. This was my favorite drill that had never failed. Had I not lost it, I'd still be using it today.

Great restoration...Greetings from Turkey... and a little question...what is the vaporust? I can't translate to Turkish...Is that kind of vinegar?
Evaporust is a commercial product for rust removal. I don't think it is acidic so it is not quite like vinegar. There is an amazon link in the description and hopefully it is sold somewhere near Turkey. Thanks for watching!
Opppss.. I see...thanks alot... I can buy from amazon.de... :D thanks again...

I still own one of these ^^
I know it is super drill but onlly 400wats?
THESE ARE GERMAN WATTS, NOT CHINESE.
SECOND SPEED IS 800 UNDER FULL NOMINAL LOAD.
NOMINAL LOAD = 400W.
I have the slightly younger version of this drill, mechanics are pretty the same but it additionally it has an electronic speed selection...
EDIT: It even sounds the same... :)
back then when powertools was made to last nowadays manufacturer degrade the quality
We have one from 2000

these drills are shit! it might drill in that old rotten concrete but in a housing block from the 70s this drill has ZERO chance!
They're hammer drills and not really meant for concrete, period. If you want to drill concrete you need a rotary drill hammer and even in hard brick they're helpful. They weren't really available to most DIYers when this drill was new though, much too expensive.
