A load of broken power tools in for repair, dewalts, metabo, makita, senco, and bostitch.

These tools were all sent in from one new customer who dropped them into the shop. He needed a bosch hammer repaired in a hurry and also wanted to see if any of these could possibly be fixed up also.
The bosch gsh11e was fixed up for him as an instafix. So today I'm kiting what I can out of the rest.

The older dewalt gun, DC618 is only a cheap fix at 45 euro, and just as well as most other parts are no longer available. Real shame these dewalts can not be fixed anymore as they were the best cordless second fix gun made.

The other 2 dewalt gun problems are as common as now, and you see them all the time.
Cleaning the switches on the second fix is only a 25 euro job. But the springs in the first fix are expensive for all they are and cost 45 euro to fix.
Sadly, Senco tools are simply not able to be fixed here in Ireland at the moment. After Brexit, it is not cost-effective for suppliers in the UK to supply the small Irish market. So parts have become too expensive or impossible to get. So now, if parts are needed, they can not be fixed. But this only applies to Ireland.

The Bostitch gun GFN-1664KU was basically a common service, same as any paslode or hitachi gun. Costing 40 euro.

The makita hm0810t hammer is not a common fault but one I have encountered before. Using hammer grease on the tool holder helps to flush out the grit, but eventually, if enough gets in, the impact bolt can become stiff like this.
A oring, some grease and some heavy handed force gets this problem fixed for around 40 euro.

Finally, the Metabo KHE5-40 hammer simply trashed the armature bearings. This is simply wear and tear that can happen to any machine. Luckily, the motor survived, but this could have easily cooked the motor as the customer had kept running the machine until it jammed up.
If your hammer is sounding bad and you suspect bearings, get them changed. Don't wait for more damage to be done. If the armature is burnt out of any brand of hammer, they are rarely worth repairing. So the customer out out lightly on this one at only 70 euro for the repair.
