Milwaukee is getting fixed, and Makita tools are not worth fixing. That makes a change.
The Mulwaukee M12 GG grease gun was already and not repaired. But the customer has since bought a new one but also wanted this one fixed.
It needed a new service kit with included the controler, switch, wiring, and battery contacts. which can make it an expensive repair at 80 euro but still half the price of a new one.
The Makita DHP486 drills, on the other hand, have also been in before but also repaired before. And now, once again, both have failed. Not what you would expect for a tip of the range makita drill. 2 years is not want you would expect from a Makita tool. Luckily for the customer, they developed 2 different faults, so I could at least make one out of 2.
The evolution R185 CCS saw is the normal quality I have come to expect from Evolution tools. sounds rought, but can be fixed easily with a set of brushes. They are not the highest quality brand, but you can not fault their price. But more importantly, they are built for work, and they can do the work.
The Refina MM30/3 Mixing drill is a common repair for mixing drills. Bearings always eventually give troubles after dealing with dust and moisture.
This one already had the bearings replaced 2 years ago, but this time only needed the exposed bearing replaced.
It's good to know it can be replaced without dismantling the whole gearbox.
