I used to work at Kango Electric Hammers. I think I built every model they made. They did their own aluminium casting in-house if I recall. That was in the 70s. Time flies. Thanks for the videos--very captivating.

Dean, really enjoying watching you do your stuff. I really like the format of your video's, no fancy music or long boring intro's, just a quick hello and straight down to business. I think i have watched all of them twice now, can't get enough of them. Love it when you get a machine in and you notice that there's nothing wrong, other than the user doesn't know how to use the machine properly. 😄😄

Your videos makes addiction sir.Respects as always .

That Kango took me back 17 years old on a site in the late 80s they where really the only thing out there. Enjoyed that selection Dean thanks 👍

First day as a labourer at 16 in 1980 they gave me a Kango and pointed me at a concrete retaining wall that had to come out. It was fun for the first 10 minutes…😂

Great save on the old Kango, i remember using one of them 40 years ago to demolish a wall in a house and ripping mortar of some walls we were renovating, totally love the long videos, keep the great work up.

Also switching to Holmes mode: 'hmm, sawdust might be a clue (rubs between thumb and forefinger), mahogany I think Watson; a very hard wood.'

A long format repair vid and a few Heinekens is my perfect end to a Friday.

When I was a very young man (still a boy really) I worked with a carpenter and it was my job to learn to maintain all the tools. The plunge saw, well back then we didn't have one like that but we had tools that I would frequently disassemble, clean and lubricate. Paslode nailers were infamous for jamming up after a while without maintenance. It's tricky, as you say, some of these tools you must be quite certain you don't bend or crack anything while working on them. Nice job. Also, great to see that Kango, what a tool!!

Great class Dean! Every days a school day for sure! 👏🏻👍

You are a pro.Thanks for the videos

Love seeing the old quality, hanging in for another decade

Thanks for another great video. You wonder why Makita didn’t put a bushing in that hole, especially on an expensive machine like that.

I really enjoy your videos- very well done and narrated. The older tools were a joy to see. What a difference in build quality. Shame there are few parts left.

Seeing that Kango takes me back nearly 30 years using one to take all the render off a 3 bed bungalow in the heat of summer.

How the hell are ya Dean! Just wanted to say to keep up the good work with these videos. It's very interesting to watch and I'm learning a lot. Actually had to trouble shoot my rotary hammer on site and was able to take care of it and keep working for the day. Appreciate all you brother

Danke!

If those Makita plunge saws are popular, it may be worth getting a jig made to safely remove that pin more safely in the press.

you are brilliant, thank you for your time.

Thanks for these very informative videos. I was inspired to buy a couple of broken Makita drills and repair them. Both were very inexpensive to buy and very cheap to fix. One needed brushes and a brush holder and the other a chuck. Made a little profit on them. Keep the classes coming!

One thing I especially appreciate about the way you work - when you do an electrical crimp, you always use a controlled cycle ratchet crimping tool. In North America, most people doing your job would use those terrible crimping pliers that look something like a pair of wire strippers. Car guys mostly use that type as well. They just don't do a consistent, reliable job. They are, of course, forbidden when working on things like aircraft and for cars and tools the manufacturers use proper tools. Just one of my pet peeves, along with people who solder crimps to make them "better" - all they are doing is bypassing the stress relief.

Glad to hear you like the DSP600 so much. Mine's pretty new and seeing light duty, but it's nice to know it's mostly well designed.

Steel on aluminium could oxidize if the parts get electricity running through them.

Got me too! "Only joking."

May not be the safest thing to do, but for old hammers like that if the switch goes bad you can by-pass it completely on the inside and install an external switch on the lead. Works well enough on low speed machines like a demolition hammer (not as dangerous as say a big angle grinder), but you may get in trouble if there's an (even unrelated) accident or a safety inspection on the work site. So basically if you chose to do this you should also retire the tool from any business use, just keep it home as a "hobby" machine and never lend it to anyone else.

Thank you Sir

Thanks! Same tracksaw,slowly getting harder 2017 model.

Hey, I watched this the 2nd time and in the end when Dean changed the yellow saw blade, I saw something really strange! I didn't know you can flip the flange from 20 to 30 mm. Went straight to the shed just to check my HS7601 and guess what.... Yep.... Dean is right (how could he be wrong??)

I definitely agree that that pivot pin on the plunge saw fix should be its own KZread and Instagram short, edited down of course. Id think a small grease fitting tool that can operate off a grease gun that screws into that hole would be an awesome repair item rather than having to go through all that effort to remove the pin. And if i were you i would definitely rig up a jig out of a 2 x 10 wiith a hole drilled into it with a drill press to have the pon push through, but keeping everything level.

On the makita plunge...would silicone or lithium grease help?

hi Dean, i love your content you really explain well how to desassemble the whole tool. Do you ever use silicon lubricant on any tools or parts since residue and dust doesn't stick on it ?

Have you tried rubbing a soft black pencil on the Makita pivot pin? The graphite is a good dry lubricant. Great videos!

I had no idea you could bypass the controller in a DSS611, thats crazy to me. Im betting thats why Makita have been putting more and more robust battery protections in their battery protection boards, to account for older tools or kmockoff tools that domt have any protections.

What brand of bearing puller are you using? Could not make out the name on the side.

Thanks for filming these repair vids....A little question please...ON the SDS drill, what tyoe of greases do you use in the motor area and the chuck end??? Graphite/lithium etc....Thanks again Dean

Yoooo! New upload 😅 sweet

I have a very old Bosch reciprocal saw that has a part that needs replacing. When I looked it up it’s no longer available. But it’s something that I imagine many other sawzall’s all use. Offhand I can’t remember exactly which piece, but I think it’s the fan blade or very closely linked or located. Do you have any videos that you have made that include a dated corded reciprocating of this type? I’ve watched so many of your videos and not once have I seen this tool amongst the multi tool repairs. I bought Makitas cordless version (it’s an 18v version, nowhere near the usefulness or durability) and buying a +250 equivalent (that won’t last decades) is a hard sell. I used this thing to chop entire cars in half in the 90s (back when I bought it used from a pawn shop) and until last summer when I needed to trim small tree branches that a chainsaw was my alternative, had the carburetor cooperated

Those DSS611 and the 610 should have had a car fuse built in which stopped them from drawing too much current, an easy fix when it blows and keeps the saw alive. Bad design makita (i have the 610)

Seems like it wouldn't be impossible to add to it, there may be room in the handle for that

Everybody in the Netherlands calls a demolition hammer, no matter what the brand is, a Kango !!

Be careful taking the base plate off the plunge saw. There is about 1mm movement in it and can throw your blade location out on your guide rail rubber splinter guard. Generally need a splinter guard replacement with any base plate adjustments.

Whats in your opinion a good reliable cordless drill for a home shop from bosch or makita?

it simply depends. if it is from one our customers who bought it here, or if iv spent no time on it, then no.

If it was running full power and dropped speed when you where using it. Then more than likely it will be a burnt out armature. Under no load with the piston removed, it might run fine. But once the extra load from the piston on added, the motor with struggle and start to spark heavily. If it was not being used and you simply found it running half speed then check the wiring. Someone my have rewired the plug wrong

Hi Dean. I've been watching your videos for a long time now mate and really enjoy it. I work as a plumber and I like to try to fix my tools by myself when they brake but now I'm a bit stuck. I have a makita dga517 grinder that only works when I tur the disc a little then when i let go of the triger most of the time I have to turn the disc again. I'm not going to open it as its still on warranty but I was just courious if you'd have any thoughts on what the issue might be.

I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but I feel like I'm listening to Shrek fix tools. Don't take that in a bad way, I think it's fantastic. Thanks for sharing your videos. I've learned fixing tools is like an onion

Super Brawo 👍👍👍
