- Another day in the tool repair workshop, and another load of tools need fixed up, including a box hikoki and hitachi tools.
I know I probably bang on about milwaukee tools a little too much, but this was a bad week for milwaukee repairs.
Between saws, hammer, drills, impacts, grinders, and nut guns. Every single one this week was not worry repairing. So, I had a lot of lost time due to milwaukee tools.
Normaly hikoki can be hit or miss also, especially grinders and drills. But this week, iv seen loads come in for repair, and nearly every single one was able to be repaired.
Eventually, I found out who owned the box of tools, including the paslode. And had to return as no fault found. As the gun was working fine.
I will be posting more videos this week hopefully as there there is actulay, so many tool's come in this week for repair. Including a few more boxes of tools.

Finally. Someone exposing the Milwaukee snake oil. ❤❤❤
Yep this would also include ryobi rigid and hart as they are all made by the same parent company tti ... control boards die in them and they are all a headache .. people always criticized me for hating touching the wilfaukee .. and using makita grew up using makita corded tools and they almost never quit almost always just needed brushes ..
Love the savagery with Milwaukee - got me hooked to your videos!!!
Ya man’s a genius. So therapeutic watching someone with skill working.
Thanks Dean, I appreciate you taking the time and effort to allow us to look over your shoulder while you work. The insight you provided to anyone who buys power tools is invaluable. Thanks from Los Angeles.
Glad it was helpful!
@@deandohertygreaser you Do Fantastic Job mate thank you for sharing what some already know about the battery tool conspiracy. keep them coming as you find fit.
No one will be buying Milwaukee tools after you Dean 😂
Keep "Red" in the Shed, that's a quote to keep.
That very first unit, the Makita grinder.. 2014 and you could clearly tell she's put in some work over the years. Great to see a simple fix, hopefully she keeps on grinding for years to come now!
Love watching these type of video's , Straight talking and no bull. Respect from Scotland.
I wish I had known your views on Milwaukee tools before I purchased their £250 heavy duty 240V Sawzall saw. When the carbon brushes wore away the springs ripped up the armature but I didn't see this until I had replaced the brushes on which they were chewed them up within secs. Fantastic video and teaches me loads.
Jesus how many tools do you fix…. The vids just keep rolling in just as well since I’m happy watching them
I reckon we get to see a days worth
I do this for a living as well, it's genuinely mind boggling how many tools you can bash through in a week. Although some days it's surprising how few you do.
Brilliant videos i could watch these all day well done dean , ive got loads of knackered power tools to fix including paslode gun drills ect wish there was someone like you near me that i could take them to 👌
I'm a 75 year old Mr Fixit and feel such an affinity watching your repairs! High light? the way you backed off a screw in a plastic body til it clicked, then screwed it in...as taught me by my Dad and really best practice. Was impressed recently by Bosch exploded parts list and spares availability. Thanks for all the insights.
Got parts for a 40 year old bosch jigsaw. Just picked parts from an exploded diagram/image.
Not expensive, eighter. Sent straight from germany
Ohh! the clicking sound of the tool being put back together is so satisfying to hear....cool
Glad I've been watching these videos which I find really interesting. I had believed that Milwaukee tools were first class but I think now that if I need a new drill or angle grinder I should probably go for Makita. I did buy an expensive Makita biscuit jointer last year (a made in USA one) and I am very impressed by the quality.
Thanks, Dean. I just found your channel yesterday and have already learned so much from you. Like a previous comment, I did not realize that repair parts for common hand tools can be searched, identified and obtained by common flunkies like me! Keep the videos coming. I feel like I have enrolled in a university course in tool purchase, maintenance, and repair!
Same here I’ve been taking tools apart since I was 10 and never knew what I was looking at (my dad’s tools)😅 now I’m 50 and I feel like I’m just about ready to graduate from Dean’s university of tool repair. Thanks Dean, new subscriber from Cincinnati Ohio.
It is a pleasure watching and learning from an expert at his craft. I had no idea that parts were available for power tools before I stumbled across your channel.
Me neither and this looks more fun than my office. I'm going to apply to be an apprentice there😂
Interesting fact. In Croatia, where i live, angle grinders are reffered to as flekserica. Named after the fact that flex was the original and only brand available for some time. Similarily, any hammer drill or jack hammer is called Hilti. Doesn't matter if it's a bosch or makita.
Very similar story in the UK with Hoover (vacuum cleaner)
There are more examples but I can't think of any right now
Yeah, in my industry any track saw cut is known as a festool. ‘How you gunna cut that?…festool it’
Flekserica po proizvodjacu a smem da se kaladim da ke Iskra-Perles (Skil licenca kompletan alat) bila dostupnija.Hilti zovu zato sto su prve vusikice za betin bile Hilti cak i misle da je Hilti izmislio (kao i po Srbiji i zemljama bivse YU).😂😂😂😂
Back in the day every power saw was called a skill saw.😁
@@UnderwaterSable yeah we still call all circular saws skill saws. or skillies.
Really enjoy these tool fixing videos
The biggest lesson learned is don't buy Milwalki tools.
At least they spell Milwaukee correctly.
😉
Milwacky, Milwalk away
My thoughts exactly, I am buying Bosch or Makita only 😊
As I'm watching this video I realized my Bosch and Makita tools were the only ones I ever have had to replace bearings or brushes on, not because they are inferior, but because the rest of the tool lasts long enough to warrant it.
Find it weird because my platform is Milwaukee, I’ve never had a issue with any of my tools, used and abused every day and after 10 years my brushed impact is finally the first thing to brake, and I believe it’s just brushes that are worn on it. Other lads use makita and dewalt and there replacing or getting them fixed every month or so. Think it’s just luck of the draw to be honest
I admire your skill,and patience. Actually,l admire your patience more. I’d be kicking most of those tools across the room if l had to work on them. How you remember to put them back together again,is beyond me. Excellent content,btw. 😉👍🏻
I can just imagine all the Milwaukee fan boys faces when you call there tools diy grade 😂🤣
Milwaukee is big here in Canada… as a tradesman i see lots of it on the jobsite… I personally am strictly DeWalt mainly because i prefer it but also because it tends to be slightly cheaper to buy and as far as I’m concerned is the superior tool.
not just once but twice. and on 2 tools that have nothing done. that grease gun looks straight out of the box.
@@nobodyspecial6436 Milwaukee is way too expensive in Europe with 3 year warranty like everyone else.
Am I the only one who's praying for Deans broken thumb? In the last videos i was like "thank you, God, it gets finally better"🙏. But then i watched this and am like "why did you leave me dear God?!" 😭..otherwise good job as always maestro and greetings from the Czechia
I gotta say you sure know your way around hand tools. A pleasure to watch & learn. Great work, & Best wishes!
Another satisfying video! Love your tossing style Dean. 🙂
Because of Deans videos I figured I could do it, so I replaced a motor on a Makita stick vacuum from 2017 i bought off of FB Marketplace, and i was shocked how simple it was.
$50 for the vacuum which did work but was a bit squeelly, and an $18 motor to make it brand new.
Absolutely incredible and worth it.
It took me longer to take it apart by undoing the 5 screws then to pull off the leads, connect the leads to the new motor, and put it into the housing. I was shocked, not even 5 minutes total.
Most people throw them out but its good to see u fixing them
The reason behind the cheap-made Milwaukee tool is their warranty. They take it back, no questions asked and give you back a working tool. Yes it's annoying, yes it is downtime for the tool, but you can send it for warranty 5-6-7 times and you will still get it fixed. It's just their way of making business. Also they rely on people forgetting to register the tools for extended warranty, so it's a win for the manufacturer.
Honestly, there should be a law in place (at least in EU) where every single part of a tool should be available as a spare, not this bundle - switch, controller and motor bullshit they are getting away with today.
I was going to mention the warranty is great in Australia. You could buy the brushes tools and send them away for warranty near 5 years after you bought it and they’d replace the brushes, motor, springs for nothing.
This is probably the most interesting thing I’ve seen on YT since I started using it !
Thanks
😂😂 thanks for the Milwaukee repair, i was so funny i couldn't stop laughing! Had to watch again that part!😅😅😅 You are totally right with this brand! And in the future i suggest not to waste your time, just refuse them!!! Cheers!!!
I thought that milwaukee is high quality ones, especially considering the price. Good to hear such feedback. Thanks!
The day millwaukee died, we learn something every day. ANOTHER EXCELLENT VIDEO. WE ALL NEED THIS CLASS FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER
Oh I will say, my neighbor asked me to look at his Milwaukee M12 hydraulic impact driver.. NO power, nothing. Good battery, but no lights at all. I popped it open expecting the board to be bad.. well, it turns out the plug for the battery was dislodged a tiny bit inside the housing, one of the plastic clips - actually molded to one side of the handle - seemed to have gotten sheered a bit and as you pushed in the battery it pushed up the prongs a tiny bit, enough for the chip to say no. I put a wedge of plastic behind the connector inside the handle, screwed it back together and she's been working every day since! That was an easy fix. It was his primary small driver so he was thrilled, so happy he gave me a brand new set the following week. It was the fact that I took the time to fix it I believe.
Also (edit) it's funny, Milwaukee gives a 5 year no questions warranty FREE shipping and all, well here in the States at least..
Americans love their milwaukee, cause its fastest and more powerful. One of my mates got the Fuel drill, cause he saw its the fastest and powerful. The drill ended up dying and he had some problems with their service to fix it. For powertools im a Makita guy with Bosch on the side, for hand its always Wiha, Wera and Knipex.
Thanks for your honesty Dean. Love watching your videos.
Great dean clear precise I'm on NYC construction worker learning lots from you big appreciated
I’ve always been a makita user. But if I ever was to jump ship I’d have gone Milwaukee…..well. Glad iv been watching you deano as I won’t be going anywhere near them anymore 😂. built like toys not tools!!.
Brilliant to watch; love to see someone with your knowledge. Hope you got home for your tea on time
Love it! Your insights on tools is fantastic.
"Next up we have a waste of time" :)
When did he say that ? I missed it lol
For someone that relies on their tools your channel is a awesome find .
Ive watched all you're videos and i can confidently say i reckon i could change brushes!!👍👍👍
enjoyed the repairs and advice
For Milwaukee tool repair in USA you have to pay for shipping and insurance which is super expensive plus provide proof of purchase from and here’s the catch, a Milwaukee approved retailer. Most of these online resellers are not . Ask me how I know .
Nice and clean job! You sir, has earned a new fan!
I'm just enjoying my day off with your repairs
Admiring the effort you invest in repairing these tools, I'm gaining a wealth of knowledge! Thank you!!!
Additionally, consider informing your audience when disconnecting the tools during maintenance. For instance, there's a case (though not personally known) where someone watched a CZcamsr install a budget Chinese diesel heater at home, attempted it without venting the exhaust tube outside, and faced unfortunate consequences.
love the insights, so relaxing to watch
Thank you for the engaging, and thoughtful content as it's much appreciated. Planned obsolescence has become an increasing problem with manufacturers across the board. I remember the selling point for just about anything was it's longevity. Hoover used to claim lifetime functionality, and servicing, and they stuck to it. Now you have tools being sold for hundreds each, and have a year's lifespan if you're lucky.
corporations don't care about landfills, or longevity. They want profit plain, and simple. I also think what they're doing is a grift because as a DIY'er you're most likely not going to use those tools everyday. They're usually used per project, and those projects might span months in between uses. You think the tool lasted 3 years, but in reality it lasted maybe ten uses, and failed.
I had an experience like that with a Harbor Freight palm sander. I had it for almost two years, and only used it a few times for light, quick jobs. The first time I actually put it to work on a longer, more intense job the motor completely seized. I stepped up, and bought a Dewalt 5 inch, variable speed orbital sander, and it has performed incredibly well. I used it to sand down part of a mop textured ceiling, among many other projects, until I switched to a 9 inch drywall sander designed for the job. The old phrase "They just don't make 'em like they used to" has never rung more true.
I guess that's the consequence for living in a disposable society.
Love watching you. You are amazing. Can’t get enough. Pleasure to watch
Hello Dean i thought it was just me that thought Milwaukee was CRAP i bought 50mm pz2 impact bits a few years back paid silly money they where like chocolate useless overated junk. You have just got a new subscriber
Thank you for posting there. I would like that when you show brushless controller with a dead confusor board, that you could sometimes show the damage upclose.
Thanks for the warning about Milwalki.
I use milwaukee everyday never had a problem with them going on 4 years
You have a great job
Great video thanks
Milwaukees on top, been using for 10+ years in the trades and now once had a single problem or failure with any one of my Milwaukee tools. Maybe if you spent less time trash talking them they’d get fixed.
Honestly the newer stuff has a terrible reputation in construction. It's sad because it's such a legendary brand.
Iv never had any problems with my milwaukee tools m18 and m12, 4 years using them all the time…
47:13 The way this guy rips things apart, cracks me up .
love those long vidoes!
The disdain from Dean speaking about milfaulty tools is gas 😂😂😂 he bleeding hates them 😂😂😂
I guess adding up every single minute he spent confirming that it was a board issue in a month can become considerable.

Always reminds me of an assasin who is assembling his deadly tool, when i seeing the master assembling a fixed tool.
Mate sorry but I always giggle when you say Hikoki, because the first time when I heard about this brand was from your videos and when you mentioned it I thought you sad "cookie". So for me hikoki will always be cookie. And mate, you are absolutely briliant, seeing how easy it is for you to strip and put back all the parts on so many brands, types and models, blows my mind.
Cookie!
Keep dese long videos coming there great
Excellent video
Great video !!!! thanks
alright Dean mate.. Great videos. I'm loving this stuff. Learning a fair bit even though I will have to put on the videos while I'm doing this type of work on my tools. I was really afraid of opening my tools up to change the brushes. U always get a set with tools now, spare I mean but I bought a 500W hammer drill back in the late 1990's, SKIL, all black, and it is still running today. I have always cleaned my tools up after using them and it actually still looks brand new..
Truth is I never used the thing for nigh on 20 or more yrs.. haha! It was sat in the box room in me Ma's house since the late 90's and I have used it a few times to drill into concrete blocks. It works a treat but I'm not sure how great it. It's drills to a certain point and then struggles.
Would I be better off getting a drill with more power/torque?
Any advice from yourself or anybody in the comments would be greatly appreciated.
I need to put an outside tap in and I'm not sure what drill bits I need, size wise, of how long the bits should be.
It's probably only going to get used a couple of times so I don't want to spend a fortune on bits, etc..
U have a brilliant channel DEAN MAN.
Keep up the good work. SALUTE from DUBLIN town
love the nippers on the thumb . been there meself . great info dude
Milwaukee is pure marketing
They are the Harley Davidson of the tool world.
My Henry hoover died due to an overheated motor. Looked at the price of a Henry versus a new motor and found I could get a more powerful motor with overheating protection for about a fifth of the price of a new Henry so I did that. Now it works better than it did from new!! Fixing things is so worth the time, effort and money saved.
Surprisingly I have had great success with Parkside tools purchased from Lidl and they come with an automatic three year warranty. I haven't had any failures with any inc, bench grinder, soldering irons, chainsaw, battery drill, mains SDS drill, hedge trimmer and various other small tools. I find them a cheap alternative to Makita as often I only need them for small or occasional jobs.
With those Hitachi's, collectors allow to remove quite some of their diameter. Myself do sometimes put them in a drill and file and/or sand them down till clean. They work like new after.
Which part are you talking about ? I have some hitachi tools
@@michaelgiordano3757 I speak about the 2 Hitachi's with the damaged collector in this video. But this repair method works for about all brushed motors.
@@michaelgiordano3757 Dial "motor collector" in google images and you will see what part is meant.
@@tuttebellekeI suspect you mean commutator? At least that’s the phrase here in New Zealand
@@default9740 Indeed, according to English dictionaries commutator is the only correct term. Motor collector is not right. But on google images, both terms work equally good. Probably because in about all Germanic languages we use the word collector or kollektor for this, and we have the impression that sounds sufficient English that we use it in our English communications? What we call a Germanism. Greetings from Belgium to the other side of the planet!
i have a dewalt drill i was bought for my 50th birthday. now my next birthday is in 13 days and i will be 58. however, whilst age is wearing me down, my drill still looks brand new!
My next hour sorted.👍
Take care of yourself while doing stuff dean, saw that cut on your thumb.
I love my Paslode nailers. Have the older version and a newer model. Surprising how bad the Milwaukee rotary drill was, disappointing
I recon that if you would have grinded a bit the contacts on the armature on the latest two brushed drills, the amount of sparks would have been a log smaller and the new brushes would have lasted a lot longer
Regardless of the above, great work on repairing all these tools
Thanks for the vids learned a lot from you. I made a list of tools that seem reliable. on the long run and are as you show repairable. I was under the impression that Milwaukee is the greatest tool stuff but apparently it's worse than cheap diy brands. And are made unrepairable.
I love that . If its red leave it in the shed😂 I'll have to use that one one site with the lads 👍
Not always the case. SDS chip X great drill, had the DeWalt same size, and just trouble. Have the Milwaukee chip X for years now, heavy use every day and no problems.
Discovered this channel yesterday evening,absolutely love it, already over 2,5 hours watched. Seen you do more for the environment in these 3 videos than all the Just Stop Oil tempertantrums together :D
love it top info
Never owned a Milwaukee tool. Own primarily Makita and Dewalt. Recently, I was in the market for a telescoping pole saw. Considered Milwaukee but ended up going with Makita 36v telescoping pole saw and an 18v Makita articulating hedge trimmer.
Was wondering when you were going to snip that off.Awesome work.
I only bought Milwaukee for the m12 cause I need light weight and I don’t do all that much work but will still be getting it set up with the warranty
That is an impressive thumb evulsion!
Love watching your videos .. started fixing my own tools ... Glad you think the red stuff is shit .. never had bought it Bosch man an mikita
Really glad I opted for the Makita ecosystem for my cordless tools rather than Milwaukee.
also made in China unless you buy Makita directly from Japan which are made in Japan but then again you will have to do with warranty issues..
@@EvanLugin it doesn't matter where the tools are made, many cordless makita tools are worth repairing unlike milwauke/dewalt after warranty. makita really tries to sell pairs for a better price compared to others plus many makita tools are not 1 single pair(switch, stator, controller) for example controller of makita dhr400 sds max rotary hammer costs ~200$ even though the tool would be for the same price as Milwaukee depending on where you live, makita grease gun costs 100$ more than milwaukee one but the makita board costs ~50$
@@rudyfromsomewhere3066 it does matter where they are made. I’m telling you they are coming from the same plants or same part’s distributor/suppliers with similar qualities or designed service lives. Only reason to cause differences on pricing is because they had different capitals behind them, in which have different relationships with different countries or importers. Taxing and freights are huge deals. And the by the way, the tool you mentioned from Makita is $800 here in Canada and it’s not even for sale.
I've literally a bin full of non-repairable Milwaukee tools... absolute shite brand I'd recommend *only* to my worse enemy!
Good fixes! Here in the US, manufacturers cannot require a customer to register a product to activate a warranty; it is in force strictly by purchasing through an authorized dealer..
with respect to your work Dean, that mili kango (24:45) has hardly been shoved into a cupboard and left. i would have thought that the higher use this machine shows is most likely the problem. however, what most people forget to do when they DO put their tools away, especially if they know they wont likely be using them for some time, is to take the battery off (cordless obv). because no matter how much people tell you that if the machine isnt on it isnt using any power, it actually is, even if it cant be detected easily. so yeah, this tool heavily used. DIY tools left in cupboards, take the battery out
A guy at work is a total Milwaukee fan boy. He says my DeWalt stuff is just cheap shite. Asked him why he is always having them fixed and, he said it's because he does more work than anyone else. He's the laziest boy you've ever met.
maybe that is why they all buy them. to make it look like they work.
This mechanic knows tools
Ohh them Americans will be furious when they find out about Milwaukee being crap 😂
Here in Germany Milwaukee is trying to establish themselves in the professional market... funny that is.
Bosch, Makita and Hilti dominates and Milwaukee will not take their place.
I can buy spare parts for any Bosch tool straight from Bosch and they are really cheap. If that isnt an argument to go all Bosch I dont know what is.
Actually I have a wee GSR12V-15 drill from 2017 thats done a lot of work, took it apart, regreased the gearbox since it was really dry and I noticed the motor is on its way out. Very worn commutator and brushes and the bronze bush bearings are really tired.
A new Motor is 16€ from Bosch while the drill is ~80€. Worth it.
Cool accent 1:00:14 1:00:14 quick work no nonsense and best of all no music
I have a few milwauke tools, all about 10 years old, the early fuel line, and they have been brilliant. The high-performance sds has done a ton of work. From 5.5sds up to 5in core holes through double concrete walls. Did 5 4in cores in a day with it through double skin walls (brick , thermolite) took about 15ah worth of battery to do it all to.
They’re a great brand. He’s got an ulterior motive here because I can guarantee you Makita, Dewalt, etc aren’t making their tools any better. Every tool made these days is disposable which again is why he’s only ever fixing older brushed tools
@@thechad7803 Look closer. The more expensive pro-grade Makita have good parts availability going back years. They also use higher grade bearings and more of them. Wires and switches are properly sheathed and moving heavy parts are high quality forged as you would expect in a Japanese made product.
@@1maico1 I agree with that and honestly since this statement I kinda figured out what he was saying as far as repairablity but idk if I’d call Milwaukee DIY just because they make their products hard to repair
You sure you are not German , like your work can’t stop watching ,,,,lol
48:18 brutal. That's why i always use gloves
I bought a pair of milwaukees... the batteries went quick and the non impact drill went quicker
In America tradesman swear by Milwaukee, but I never liked them, had a drill many years ago and it broke, took it apart and I also saw how cheap they were inside. They have everyone fooled.
Absolutely loving all the Milwaukee hate....most overated and overhyped tools of all time IMO.
