Bosch PBH 3000-2 FRE: Machine valt stil en na kwart slag draaien van machine werkt hij weer

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 00:44:52 -0700

De machine valt soms stil tijdens het boren of wil niet starten. Als je de machine dan een kwart slag draait doet hij het weer. Heel merkwaardig en super onhandig. de machine heeft heel veel stof gezien. Is er een contact dat kan vervuilen intern ?

Bosch PBH 3000-2 FRE: Boorhamer (Bosch PBH 3000-2 FRE) reageert totaal niet

Sun, 21 Jan 2024 23:44:31 -0700

Tijdens het verwijderen van pleister (stucwerk) verminderde plots het vermogen(slagkracht) en waren er achteraan (zichtbaar door de ventilatiegleuven) meer vonken/glinsters te zien dan anders. Daar ik slechts nog een heel klein stukje moest doen werkte ik nog even door met na enkele seconde als gevolg een licht plofgeluid en niets meer. De machine doet helemaal niets meer onafhankelijk de stand (boren/beitelen).

Door de extra vonken/glinsters en het vermogen verlies dacht ik aan de koolborstels. Echter ondanks deze machine al ouder is dan 10 jaar is hij heel weinig gebruikt (enkele uren max 10uur) en als ik hem open, lijken de koolborstels nog vrij goed (lang) en goed contact te maken.

Heeft iemand een idee wat het zou kunnen zijn (toch koolborstels of iets anders)? Advies/tips hoe ik het kan analyseren/diagnosticeren worden zeker gewaardeerd.

Alvast bedankt.

Mvg,

Sam

FixHub Smart Soldering Iron: Is there documentation for the serial console

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 18:08:31 -0700

Is there any documentation for using the serial console when directly connecting the smart soldering iron to a PC?

The web console is great but not always an option if you are in an offline environment. I see that there is a basic help command but it does not seem to give much detail on individual command usage.

Rotary Tool: I need a bridge rectifier for my vintage Dremel tool

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 21:07:06 -0700

I have a vintage Dremel "Moto-Tool", model 270 series 66-2. It stopped working recently and a part was blown. I figured out it is a bridge rectifier. It is between the mains and the motor. It's a pretty simple circuit.

My challenge is finding this part. Does anyone know what the specifications of this part is and where I can find one? Thanks!

Ryobi Cordless Brad Nailer P320 2016: How is this part not available?

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 09:40:32 -0700

My nailer took a tumble down the stairs and broke the metal bracket that the “no mar contact tip” attaches to (part of the depth set mechanism and the piece that sticks the furthest away from the body of the tool.) I've searched all the parts websites and it seems every o-ring and screw and other part is available, but I cant find this one and can't even find a good name for it. Not willing to buy a new tool over a $5 part. Can anyone help?

Does anyone out there have an exploded view of Dewalt part # 395666-01SV, gear case assembly for a Dewalt DW980XRP 1/2" cordless drill driver, Type 1, 12 volt? It would greatly assist me in reassembly! Yes, it's vintage, But that's why were here, right? It's possible that other Dewalt drill gearcases may be similar so let's see what you've got!

FixHub Portable Soldering Station: Ifixit Soldering Station Problems keeps disconnecting

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 04:50:50 -0700

So i bought a Ifixit Hub and within in a week both tips failed and i was getting battery errors showing on the hub, so contacted ifixit and they sent me out a replacement hub and iron. But sadly this one did not work either, after playing around for a few hours i found that i had to keep unplugging the usb c until the iron registered with the hub then i would have to unplug the tip a few times to get it top actually work.

I was then asked to update the firmware but then found out the updater was switched off due to a current firmware issue, but they have fixed that now and i was able to update the firmware. The Soldering iron does seem a little better but i still have to unplug it a few times to actaully get it to work. When i switch the hub on the iron shows as connected and the temp shows but as soon as i switch the iron on it disconnects and i have to unplug it a few times to get it to work again.

Has anyone else had this issue and found the way to fix this?

I love the design etc but i need it to just work!

Sadly contacting for support is very slow and can take a few days just to get a reply to say update firmware, or have you tried removing the tip etc, basically the first things you would check and not need to be told to check! They really need a dedicated support email
