Black & Decker Gyrodriver rebuild

This Black & Decker 3.6v screwdriver does not work. Can I get it working again and what is a Gyrodriver?

Wow that’s so cool I’ve never seen one like that looks handy if you need to do a lot of screwing and unscrewing

I love it. It makes me smile everytime I use it.

Hi Old Man. I subscribed to you when you still had single digit subs. I remember suggesting you add commentary to your videos. I really enjoy your videos more when you add commentary. Thank you.

[@DaftOldMan]

Thank you Raul. I think it was your comment that made me try talking. I hate it as I don't like the sound of my own voice.

Superb.

[@DaftOldMan]

Thank you

Did you ever manage to locate the gears ? I’ve got 3 chewed ones

[@DaftOldMan]

I never did find the gears. They seem to be an odd size. I tried making some from nylon rod but it didn't work.

[@mcfcmanc]

@@DaftOldMan I found some similar looking metal ones on eBay but not sure they’d fit (Chinese)

[@DaftOldMan]

@@mcfcmanc Count teeth, outide diameter and inside tooth diameter must be exact match or they will not work. I hope you have found some.

shame no cogs.

I love using this. It makes me smile every time it starts to turn like magic.
