I don’t know, I’m starting to dought this one.
what do you think, did makita damage this one themselves.
It seems to unlikely to me, but the numbers say different.

10 seconds since the upload. The last time I was this early, my wife kicked me out 🤣
Great detective work dean if you look after your customers they will look after you nice one
I wonder if that attachment was counterfeit and the counterfeiters copied the serial number from the online photos.
Why are you uploading old videos???
Your a genius 👏
I have the misfortune to own one of these attachments and TBH they really aren't anywhere near as robust as the older DFR/68xx series collated guns. I'm now on my SECOND complete unit in four years, despite the gun not being continually used for collated screws, because I also own a DFR550 (and a 6844 for flooring screws). The first attachment I had suffered a broken metal nose piece after about 24 months and my Makita dealer told me it was unrepairable because they couldn't source the parts (BTW I still can't find a parts diagram on-line for this attachment in the UK). I couldn't even get a replacement rubber end cap covers for mine. Unbelieveably, they aren't the same as those on the DFR550/DFR750/6843/6844 (which are common to all those models and more older ones) despite those being regarded as consumables. Even sourcing replacement screwdriver bits (which again are different to other Makitas) can be problematic at times – and the bits also don't last as long as they do on the collated guns. Considering that these units are supposedly aimed at the trade market I feel that Makita have dropped the ball here. If/when I break this one I'll probably be buying the Senco DS55M-1 instead to replace it, in part because I can at least get some parts for thse separately, such as the metal nose piece (see: https://www.senco.eu/en/binaries/content/assets/product-assets/itemresourcepartchart/18420/18420/hippogallery:asset)
Thanks once again to Dean for his excellent repair video. Long may you keep posting them, sir!
could have plastic welded.
Bought 2 OEM Makta batteries on Amazon. One of the battery was fully charged. Someone used the battery and sent it out as brand new.
FYI BREAK not BRAKE
Old Video?
Looked like a great repair, well done. But it's too bad Makita a) broke it and sent it out b) didn't make that little ring a bit more robust in the first place. Not too sturdy without a thicker wall, some ribs on the outside, or made of die cast metal or better yet, a stamped steel piece. Oh well. At least the warranty gets the customer a new one. Hope he's not using it much though, if he's piling in screws by the thousand, it does not look robust enough for that. I enjoyed the video! Cheers from Canada.
Nice, do you have the partsnumber for that black feeder head assembly?
We use this makita attacment but screws SOMEHOW stuck at the end of tool. We pull stuck screws to try with this damn tool screw again. So we everytime use magic words to make it work. 😅 From one screw tape I allways collecting from the floor 5 to allmoust half fallen screws . Devils invention 😆
Think i have seen you do a different repair on the same attachment realising that it's the same number. Either old video, like 3-6 months ago, or the serial number is the same on some of them and you realize it every time you do a repair 😂😂😂
Just using the drill bit as the support did it for me.. woulda never thought about that and spent the time digging through the tub of little screws that everybodies got somewhere.. good deal pickle..
Technical and a sleuth!
Deadly combo.😮😮
Those fuckers at makita.. what a load of crap. Hope they see this and somebody gets reamed over it cuz thats a bunch of bullmess.. or they blur out the sn on pics one.. not a good look for them coming straight from the factory..
I wonder if some of these devices would benefit from a dry lubricant, or a drying oil. Also, JB weld epoxy works wonders in situations like this where you need to build up. You can even sand it or tap it.
If you did not brake the small bit off plastic off you justed had to super glue it
The 00519 is not an ordinary piece of junk, this is a colector's one. This tool is a celebrity of the tool world. It played a big role in advertisments. It is worth much more than a regular one. Put it on the shelf as a trophy. Become a collector. 😉
Rather than break of the loose plastic bit, would it have been easier to degrease it and use super glue and some pins to secure it….says me who knows sod all in the presence of the Master 😅😅
The repair job was apt.Your diagnostic skills are superb
I don't know, I have the Ridgid 18v cordless version of this thing. I haven't had honestly a single issue – other than self-inflicted, and it really works great!
You could have glued back the piece you ripped off as well. Reinforce it from behind. But perfect job as is.
Nice fix!
Brilliant!
when i get these ones in, customers always rounded the bit.
this design is just awful. nice save on that plastic bit though.
if more of them start to come in with that specific problem, i am probably going the 3d printing route
hilarious
Genius ❤
I love how someone figured out how to turn the butt end of an M4 into a drywall attachment.
This is actually hilarious 😅😂
Should've played the lottery, who knew the customers broken tool was actually famous? xD
haven't you shown this with the serial number in a youtube short a few months ago? how old is this repair?
You can create a solid build-up with superglue and baking soda. Add drop of superglue, then sprinkle on baking soda. Keep building up, you can file to shape. Same for reattaching the broken plastic.
I really dislike when manufacturers goes in that direction, should be the opposite direction, better serviceability and repairability. Also brilliant repair! Shame you didn't know it was on warranty, but it did give us a great video!
re upload.
👍👍
Hi dean watch. all your vids love them all is ryobi. tools any good
Hard to get one past Dean well worked out Thanks
How many repair technicians would just replace the part. Not you!
What are the odds of finding that same serial number on an online "photoshoot?" Was interesting that the second unit you showed had a consecutive serial number of 01520. Nice fix though Dean. For his inconvenience they should let the customer keep your fixed on as a backup for when the warrantied one breaks.
Thank you for the video. Therapeutic as always. 👍
Hi Dean question: how many tone is your work press please?
So,..l reckon you could add dentistry to your list of skills,Dean,.Nifty work there. 🦷🦷
What is the expression in English? Did you catch Makita red-handed or the hole in the bag?
Nice job. Will be highly surprised if you aren't contacted by Makita in the very near future if you haven't already. The odds of that unit ending up in your shop .. go play the lottery if you have one. Heh…
