Electric power tools 36V 200Hz was commonplace in Soviet era factories. It typically operated from a 380V 50 Hz - 36V 200Hz machine converter. The converter consisted of an electric motor and a generator on a common shaft. This allowed for low, safe voltage, galvanic isolation, and the absence of friction parts like coal brushes in the collector motor.
Yes, and it was also mandatory in boiler making "Kesselbau" to ensure safety inside the Metal Boiler so that you weren't shocked by a defective Electric tool.
Yes, an industrial tool made for mass production in a factory. I used to work at a shipyard for a while in the 90' here in Finland and they had some high frequency angle grinders. The induction motor was an advantage in an environment with lots of metal dust as it tended to kill the brushes. The high frequency allows smaller motors and higher rpm than regular mains frequency. They were used with a rotary converter built on a cart.
makes some sense i was trying to figure out why someone would go to the lenghts making such a power tool. so i gues for safety and being able to be used on the exsisting 380v with 36v convert electrical infrastructure but a at 36 volts 4.5 amp (if thats what the 4.5 means) would that not be something like 162w seems kinda weak for an industrial tool but im not an export so idk might have been good for the task it was made for

This is a replacement for an industrial pneumatic tool. And in the front part there is not a hammer, but a clutch and torque limiter. Therefore, the switch is locked in the on position. The tip of the screwdriver with guides, which is missing here, is pressed against the screw head, the clutch engages, the screw is tightened, and the clutch begins to slip.
This comment should be pinned. That is my thought. Not an impact, but fastener torque limiting. Production tool. Turn it on, jam a bunch of fasteners in and only turn it off when shift done or something goes sideways kind of thing.
i know nothing, but at 18:50 when you realized that it only spins when the bit is pushed in, it reminded me of seeing modern factory videos where they need to screw in 20 different screws on some component and they do it quickly. in those situations, i imagine it's very handy to have the bit stop spinning as soon they pull off, even if the motor is still spinning, so they don't over torque the screw or strip the head as they pull away from it.
I've been working for large scale manufacturing and assembly, modern screw drivers have digital torque setting, when is stops immidiately after required torque is achieved, and won't even let you engage again. That way you can really speed up the manufacturing process
i've been using air powered ones at work. it's quite handy. the air motor only starts when pushing it onto the screw though in that case theres also cordless, electric versions like the bosch go and such
I'm blown away by how helpful the comments are. I now know this thing runs on manually-converted (ie a motor from the mains directly spinning a generator)old soviet 380V 50Hz 3-phase to 36V 200Hz 3-phase, to power clutched electric screwdrivers to a set torque for industrial assembly. Man, the internet is cool

High frequency tools were used in the US too. Most likely that took some sort of special bit in an industrial setting instead of the more usual types we think of. The high frequency makes for a nice compact tool for the size and, the other big selling point, makes it useless if stolen so tools walk off the jobsite far less frequently. That might be a form of a clutch moreso than an impact mechanism, so the drive mechanism kicks over when you hit the tightening torque.
So this was an industrial factory tool. Nowhere else on planet earth you will find 36V 200Hz 3 Phase. In central europe 200V 300Hz 3 Phase used to be a thing but I havent come accross that in the wild at all. Its an obsolete system.

Incredible, I learned more about electricity in the last 15 mins. than I have in the last 5 years( I am 62 now) and from the comment section your Russian viewers explained why the voltage is what it is. Fascinating, new subscriber.
One of the interesting things about Soviet made products is the term "plastic" to them almost always refers to "Bakelite". Soviet products very rarely will be found with ABS, PVC, Nylon, etc. Bakelite was used for almost everything from tools, to buttons on garments, to toys.....much of it containing asbestos as a filler. I have a couple old Soviet made 30rd magazines for my WASR-10 (AK-47) that are made of a reddish colored Bakelite with asbestos fibers in it.
Bakelit was pretty common everywhere else till about the 50's. I have an Soviet home computer from '89, the case is ABS but key caps, part of the key switches and even IC sockets are all Bakelite (funnily enough only those not directly accessible to the normal user, those that are are some unidentified blue plastic that looks like a cross between ABS and bakelite). I think it's the only computer system I own (and I have stuff from the early 70's) that even has bakelite in it. It's weird to see relatively modern usecases, like IC sockets and keycaps, made out of bakelite.
Powering up sounds like a Star Trek Phaser on Overload! I was waiting for it to explode! THIS Looked like special tool… military OR special use…. Very unusual power requirements!
Sorry if anyone already mentioned it, but an automotive alternator is a three phase generator. If you remove the diode package it's capable of 120v delta. Spin to desired output frequency, then apply power to the field winding until 36v is achieved
I speak a bit of Russian, and the label says ''Electric Screwdriver'' or ''Electric Impact Driver''. It also says ''Do not operate on a 50hz frequency''. It was made in what looks like the year 1968.
Cool! Viewers can watch the work of instruments from the USSR half a century ago, no matter how crap they are! However, half a century later, you will not be able to find instruments from modern Russia because it cannot produce anything better than hundred-year-old Soviet crap!Russia even buys steel for Chinese replicas from China!Even Russia’s tanks and artillery systems are Soviet-style! Modern Russia will leave behind tools with the inscription “made in China!”
for years i had an American made (American voltage) clutched screwdriver that looked virtually identical to that thing. It weighed a ton, but it was very effective for rapidly sinking screws into drywall... AS LONG AS YOU DIDN'T MIND SINKING THEM HALFWAY THROUGH, AND STRIPPING THEIR HEADS SO THEY COULD NEVER BE REMOVED AGAIN.
I was in Ukraine a year ago and got to see a sander from the 70's. It's hard to believe people actually used it for work. It was incredible heavy and bulky
My grandpa had whole collection of various gadgets. Not only chargers, but also compressor, mini tractor and so on. He was very resourcefull. And all of his work prefered utility and durability over look, but at the same time it was simple design.
ah the warm memories I have of watching Star Trek Enterprise on pirated discs deep in the Russian outback at my grandma's home... It was one of a bunch of CDs that were at her place when i spend the summer, that's how I started down the trekkie rabbit hole. Never got to Deep Space 9 but heard many good things so hopefully will get around to that.
You've got to love those grip scales. "Tovarich! I have made to look like pistol of western bovine young man. Please do not tell political officer.. Here, two bottle aerospace refrigerant for no talk."

For sugestions as to get it running: an esc from a drone motor or some thing of the sort, thzy doe between 20 to 60v 3phase motors witch includes verry high ferquencie for the high speed. As for power supply a power tool battery will get you pretty far. Like 3 car batterys in series will allso do it, less danger of firey explosion when shorted.
Probably made for a factory work station, where a worker is just banging in screw after screw. And it seems the mechanism is a torque limiter so the worker won't overtighten the screws on the Volga or whatever it might be
The drop in quality for the newer drill was owing to the immense resources the Soviet Union poured into maintaining Brezhnev's magnificent eyebrows, it was an insane economic drain but the results speak for themselves
Soviet tools don't have to be your only videos, just an occasional thing when you find something odd or interesting, of which I am sure there is a plentiful amount.
And also one of the biggest reasons of running on such a strange voltage and frequency - such things was not also widely used on construction sites, but in workshops packed with fellow inmates. So, low voltage does prevent the electrocution hazard, and high frequency reduces the weight of converting equipment, as well as preventing it to steal from construction sites.
Problem you are having is that your transformers are rated for 50 or 60 hz. once you go for 200hz they start "feeling unwell" because of losing inductivity. At those times you had special 200hz transformers, you could run those after your vfd. Or find some brushless motor controler that you could control with arduino or something to get 200hz and 36v output.
Ahh yes. A good old tool! Reminds me of the hair cutter i got from my grandfather, when he was a barber a "couple" moons back. I still use the machine every 14 days. Built like a brick!
That bullet hat me nervous at first but i had a feeling it had to be a dummy or something. Still, that clip is perfect for an edit where you just put in an explosion with shaky cam.
Honestly it's just super interesting seeing a build that's so unique and different from what we'd see in the west. Personally I love all weird/unique tools, just not interesting seeing the 36th drill being torn down unless someone really knows their stuff and can point out engineering specifics.
You already have a low voltage, three phase power generator to the left of your bench. It is called and "a l t e r n a t o r". Remove diode bridge and connect phases to your tool. Spin it to your taste to get 200 Hz.
It is the same mechanism as a drywall screwgun. Which takes 1/4" bits(6.35 mm) . So you might try a 1/4" bit in it. When you press the screw against a surface it engages the clutch. When the screw goes in, the cone hits the surface, the clutch disengages. You control the depth to which the screw us installed by screwing the cone in or out to the desired depth and locking it in place.
I found you through this video, liked and subscribed based on your intro. I like all kinds of things and a view of the workbench of others is one of the things.
I have an old east german hand driver (like a yankee screwdriver) and it has a similar bit recepticle: Its a round shaft, with a flat tang on it. I got an old holder for regular hex bits, that had a similar tang, was actually made by Fein, and filed it to shape
Hey man, so happy that this channel is looking to be growing. You deserve it so extremely much bro. You have the “Videos perfect for car trips and or eating” kind of content.❤🎉
the choice to include star trek enterprise season 4 in that bit is a quirky one, and is such a remote reference, because i've found many a trekky don't even know much about STE. Hats off, it was my favourite series when I was.... in middle school. oh god. yeaa it's definitely "an series"
1/4in(.250in) is technically bigger than 6mm(.236) but often in the tool trade 1/4in square and hex will be called 6mm. Try some normal 1/4in drive hex bits.
I think that the easiest way to test that tool would be to connect it in parallel to a suitable brushless motor such as an electric bike or powerful cordless tool. The built in inverter control probably need the original motor connected but will probably work with this in parallel. An ECU from a RC toy could also work.
Been learning Russian for about a year and a half now, and now I know электрошуруповерт (pronounced elektro-shuru-povert) means "electric screwdriver," so thanks for that.
Finally! Someone who understands the bliss of ¡Morir Soñando! I had it at an int'l fair at age 10 and none of my family believed me when I dug up the memory that OJ+milk (+sugar) is amazing!
Glad comrade you found the correct socialist Proletariat way to accomplish Socialist truth in Soviet superiority! The first capitalist bourgeois pig video was a good try but glorious CCCP devices need pure Socialist Red Power Supply!!
I'm not saying I know.. but the 6mm diameter is probably related to the Arbor/tang of a chuck. The shape of the insert end looks similar to Morse taper. But way smaller.
I originally found your channel through the drill video... Since then I've watched many of your other videos, and it's safe to say I'm a fan of everything this channel has to offer. Can't wait for the next video!
You could probably power it using a 12 cell lipo (or 36v power supply) and a brushless speed controller. Probably. Also i havent finished the video yet lol
At 32:43 great job getting it working. I'll bet it spun up slowly in the real application as well, that is why the locking power switch and a press to engage bit clutch. Glorious Soviet Technology! So much power... it nearly made that bolt tight! But it may have been for screws only.
You're the purist making your life difficult! I just wanna see it run. (I swap about every part of every tool I own as I go, if it's the original housing and "feel" it's close enough). It is cool to see such an old strange thing run though. I've seen things like it in a ancient shed of a family member before. Need to ask to see what they have in there as lots of it is weird and last I was in there I was a kid and couldn't appreciate it properly.
you have a new follower for life. the bullet was an excellent touch that reminded me of some skit out of loony toons with the Wiley coyote! thanks for that great laugh sir. very fun video ill never forget

One of the interesting things about Soviet made products is the term "plastic" to them almost always refers to "Bakelite". Soviet products very rarely will be found with ABS, PVC, Nylon, etc. Bakelite was used for almost everything from tools, to buttons on garments, to toys.....much of it containing asbestos as a filler. I have a couple old Soviet made 30rd magazines for my WASR-10 (AK-47) that are made of a reddish colored Bakelite with asbestos fibers in it.
And also a nitrocellulose. Many soviet toys were made of it, so kids used it to make a homemade rocket fuel
Blyatkelite
Bakelit was pretty common everywhere else till about the 50's. I have an Soviet home computer from '89, the case is ABS but key caps, part of the key switches and even IC sockets are all Bakelite (funnily enough only those not directly accessible to the normal user, those that are are some unidentified blue plastic that looks like a cross between ABS and bakelite).
I think it's the only computer system I own (and I have stuff from the early 70's) that even has bakelite in it. It's weird to see relatively modern usecases, like IC sockets and keycaps, made out of bakelite.
That is so incredibly awful
Your unboxing techniques always leave me on edge...
Powering up sounds like a Star Trek Phaser on Overload! I was waiting for it to explode!
THIS Looked like special tool… military OR special use…. Very unusual power requirements!
I’ve no idea why YT recommended me this vid but it was one of the coolest vids I’ve ever seen
Sorry if anyone already mentioned it, but an automotive alternator is a three phase generator. If you remove the diode package it's capable of 120v delta. Spin to desired output frequency, then apply power to the field winding until 36v is achieved
I speak a bit of Russian, and the label says ''Electric Screwdriver'' or ''Electric Impact Driver''. It also says ''Do not operate on a 50hz frequency''. It was made in what looks like the year 1968.
A russian here, it says nothing about impact driver, just electric screwdriver.
Cool! Viewers can watch the work of instruments from the USSR half a century ago, no matter how crap they are! However, half a century later, you will not be able to find instruments from modern Russia because it cannot produce anything better than hundred-year-old Soviet crap!Russia even buys steel for Chinese replicas from China!Even Russia’s tanks and artillery systems are Soviet-style! Modern Russia will leave behind tools with the inscription “made in China!”
for years i had an American made (American voltage) clutched screwdriver that looked virtually identical to that thing. It weighed a ton, but it was very effective for rapidly sinking screws into drywall... AS LONG AS YOU DIDN'T MIND SINKING THEM HALFWAY THROUGH, AND STRIPPING THEIR HEADS SO THEY COULD NEVER BE REMOVED AGAIN.
I eventually ended up disassembling it out of curiosity, and the clutch mechanism looked pretty similar to the one in this video as well.
I was in Ukraine a year ago and got to see a sander from the 70's. It's hard to believe people actually used it for work. It was incredible heavy and bulky
ушм с весом 12 килограмм, кайф. Сейчас многие сверлильные станки слабее советской ручной 3 фазной дрели.
Yeah but they still work without a problem, folks still use 50 year old car battery chargers cause there's like three parts inside
My grandpa had whole collection of various gadgets. Not only chargers, but also compressor, mini tractor and so on. He was very resourcefull. And all of his work prefered utility and durability over look, but at the same time it was simple design.
ah the warm memories I have of watching Star Trek Enterprise on pirated discs deep in the Russian outback at my grandma's home... It was one of a bunch of CDs that were at her place when i spend the summer, that's how I started down the trekkie rabbit hole. Never got to Deep Space 9 but heard many good things so hopefully will get around to that.
Never watched DS9, What? You have not experienced life yet, do you know they filmed seven seasons?
You've got to love those grip scales. "Tovarich! I have made to look like pistol of western bovine young man. Please do not tell political officer.. Here, two bottle aerospace refrigerant for no talk."
Most under rated comment yet! 😂👌

"Hey Kolya! Last night, did you drink beer?"
"I did."
"And did you drink vodka?"
"I did."
"And did you drink whisky?"
"I did."
"And did you drink rocket fuel?"
"I did."
"And this morning. Did you shit?"
"I did not."
"DON'T! I'm calling you from Tokyo!"
For sugestions as to get it running: an esc from a drone motor or some thing of the sort, thzy doe between 20 to 60v 3phase motors witch includes verry high ferquencie for the high speed. As for power supply a power tool battery will get you pretty far. Like 3 car batterys in series will allso do it, less danger of firey explosion when shorted.
Probably made for a factory work station, where a worker is just banging in screw after screw. And it seems the mechanism is a torque limiter so the worker won't overtighten the screws on the Volga or whatever it might be
It's nice to see an actual metal gear that's solid and machined, not sintered metal shit in tools i repair
metal gear that's solid? say that again?
05:40 I hail a fellow Enterprise fan, and I welcome such praise and recognition for the show!
The drop in quality for the newer drill was owing to the immense resources the Soviet Union poured into maintaining Brezhnev's magnificent eyebrows, it was an insane economic drain but the results speak for themselves
Magnificent eyebrows” WHAT
Soviet tools don't have to be your only videos, just an occasional thing when you find something odd or interesting, of which I am sure there is a plentiful amount.
Awesome the soviet tool guy put out a new video!!
Congratulations on your breakout role as 'Former Soviet Union Tool Review Guy'. I look forward to more episodes.
And also one of the biggest reasons of running on such a strange voltage and frequency - such things was not also widely used on construction sites, but in workshops packed with fellow inmates. So, low voltage does prevent the electrocution hazard, and high frequency reduces the weight of converting equipment, as well as preventing it to steal from construction sites.
Thank you for explaining three-phase! Genuinely appreciate the teaching moment in the cool Soviet-punk raygun review!
I do love the wide variety of topics on your videos as I am also a jack of all trades and a master of nothing.
Problem you are having is that your transformers are rated for 50 or 60 hz. once you go for 200hz they start "feeling unwell" because of losing inductivity. At those times you had special 200hz transformers, you could run those after your vfd.
Or find some brushless motor controler that you could control with arduino or something to get 200hz and 36v output.
Finding this channel a few months ago was game changing. Love the stuff and keep up the insane work
Same!
Ahh yes. A good old tool! Reminds me of the hair cutter i got from my grandfather, when he was a barber a "couple" moons back. I still use the machine every 14 days. Built like a brick!
unlike the other one, this one I'd totally buy for myself. Just because it looks so dope!
It's a cross between AVE Vice Grip Garage Zip Ties And Bias Plys, and the doubtful techniton! Great work sir!
That bullet hat me nervous at first but i had a feeling it had to be a dummy or something.
Still, that clip is perfect for an edit where you just put in an explosion with shaky cam.
Thanks for going through hell and back to make us this video.
A simple and cheap way to get 3 phase low voltage is take it from a car alternator. The diodes convert 3 phase into DC.
TDT and TOT on the same day!!!!! I completely forgot about the 60hrs I worked this week and realized, life is good.
Honestly it's just super interesting seeing a build that's so unique and different from what we'd see in the west. Personally I love all weird/unique tools, just not interesting seeing the 36th drill being torn down unless someone really knows their stuff and can point out engineering specifics.
The power supply is so getho i love it appreciate the commitment to getting it going
Dude, ur relentless. Freaking awsome
Your videos are so funny! 😂😂😂 Smart and funny, my favourite combination!
You already have a low voltage, three phase power generator to the left of your bench. It is called and "a l t e r n a t o r". Remove diode bridge and connect phases to your tool. Spin it to your taste to get 200 Hz.
Damn, that stick to it attitude earned you my heartfelt gratitude and a subscription! You've got more patience than I would ever have. Kudos!
Brushless RC motor controller ….. maybe?
i belive those need motors with permanent magnets to work, since they use the back emf to sense rotation, that would be cool tho
@@andrzejkalinowski7694
Either run it in parallel with a permanent magnet motor or reprogram the controller.
@@andrzejkalinowski7694 they can, but most bldc controllers use hall effect sensors
I love seeing you pick a part stuff, it doesn't matter where it is from
You didn't let me down on this video. I fully enjoyed it.
It is the same mechanism as a drywall screwgun. Which takes 1/4" bits(6.35 mm) . So you might try a 1/4" bit in it. When you press the screw against a surface it engages the clutch. When the screw goes in, the cone hits the surface, the clutch disengages. You control the depth to which the screw us installed by screwing the cone in or out to the desired depth and locking it in place.
This is one of the most hilarious videos I've warched on yt, thanks! 😂
I found you through this video, liked and subscribed based on your intro. I like all kinds of things and a view of the workbench of others is one of the things.
I was really waiting for the made in Germany tool taking apart a soviet drill joke.
Sellout. Keep up the great work. 💪
I love the fact it's a brushless motor
I have an old east german hand driver (like a yankee screwdriver) and it has a similar bit recepticle: Its a round shaft, with a flat tang on it.
I got an old holder for regular hex bits, that had a similar tang, was actually made by Fein, and filed it to shape
You're literally just another styropyro and I love it
Hey man, so happy that this channel is looking to be growing. You deserve it so extremely much bro. You have the “Videos perfect for car trips and or eating” kind of content.❤🎉
..i did not know "Guy in a shed with a thing" was a genre i liked but, here we are..
the choice to include star trek enterprise season 4 in that bit is a quirky one, and is such a remote reference, because i've found many a trekky don't even know much about STE. Hats off, it was my favourite series when I was....
in middle school. oh god.
yeaa it's definitely "an series"
That hand grip is awesome for a tool. It looks like a revolver handle.
Loved the intro, it did make me chuckle
This was....gorgeous.
1/4in(.250in) is technically bigger than 6mm(.236) but often in the tool trade 1/4in square and hex will be called 6mm. Try some normal 1/4in drive hex bits.
Where's my hammer?
Proceeds to use the handle of his screwdriver.
That, sir, just earned you a LIKE, a SUB, and a BELL. 🤑
I think that the easiest way to test that tool would be to connect it in parallel to a suitable brushless motor such as an electric bike or powerful cordless tool.
The built in inverter control probably need the original motor connected but will probably work with this in parallel.
An ECU from a RC toy could also work.
Been learning Russian for about a year and a half now, and now I know электрошуруповерт (pronounced elektro-shuru-povert) means "electric screwdriver," so thanks for that.
'Something, something gulag,' just got you a subscriber.
Finally! Someone who understands the bliss of ¡Morir Soñando! I had it at an int'l fair at age 10 and none of my family believed me when I dug up the memory that OJ+milk (+sugar) is amazing!
Glad comrade you found the correct socialist Proletariat way to accomplish Socialist truth in Soviet superiority! The first capitalist bourgeois pig video was a good try but glorious CCCP devices need pure Socialist Red Power Supply!!
I'm not saying I know.. but the 6mm diameter is probably related to the Arbor/tang of a chuck. The shape of the insert end looks similar to Morse taper. But way smaller.
I genuinely love this channel
Man, i always like that Intro!
I originally found your channel through the drill video...
Since then I've watched many of your other videos, and it's safe to say I'm a fan of everything this channel has to offer. Can't wait for the next video!
I was really hoping it would be a 7.62mm tool, just to continue the meme of every soviet gun being chambered in 7.62mm
What? This highly enjoyable Channel is not about soviet tools? Your attitute would fit it quite well ;)
awesome that it sounds like a vacuum and a capacitor charging bank and a jet engine at the same time!
You could probably power it using a 12 cell lipo (or 36v power supply) and a brushless speed controller. Probably. Also i havent finished the video yet lol
Nice, American in Riga, Latvia. F'n hilarious dude, keep it up! 💯😄
You need a Soviet era AC screwdriver to open up that Soviet era AC screwdriver.
At 32:43 great job getting it working. I'll bet it spun up slowly in the real application as well, that is why the locking power switch and a press to engage bit clutch.
Glorious Soviet Technology! So much power... it nearly made that bolt tight! But it may have been for screws only.
Da, comrade, we share the profit of our glorious soviet song for our glorious soviet tool.
You're the purist making your life difficult! I just wanna see it run. (I swap about every part of every tool I own as I go, if it's the original housing and "feel" it's close enough). It is cool to see such an old strange thing run though. I've seen things like it in a ancient shed of a family member before. Need to ask to see what they have in there as lots of it is weird and last I was in there I was a kid and couldn't appreciate it properly.
Well done! 😊😊😊
you have a new follower for life. the bullet was an excellent touch that reminded me of some skit out of loony toons with the Wiley coyote! thanks for that great laugh sir. very fun video ill never forget
Just found my new favorite UA-cam channel. Kinda getting classic Canadian ave uncle bumblefck vibes
Drywall, the impact on the anvil used as a torque limiter that knocks you off the screw, but we didn’t have drywall back then. But we did do wood on walls inside some ships and submarines
