  1. Paslode frustrate me if Iโ€™m honest,. They were the industry standard in nail guns world wide for DECADES.. I canโ€™t see why they didnโ€™t invest heavily into battery guns BEFORE everyone else added battery guns to there range. you only ever meet the older generation of tradesmen using gas/paslodes these days. Guns they invested. Into YEARS AGO. anyone new to the trades is buying someone elseโ€™s battery guns. shame really. dying brand in that sense.

  2. You're absolutely right regarding being burnt. If I find out the company doesn't honor their warranty, or if they can't be repaired, or if the parts aren't available, I'm out. Will be interesting to see if the new EU right-to-repair legislation effects tools at all.

  3. love the old Elu tools, and still have some working fine after 35 years.Their routers and chop saws were the template that many other manufacturers followed, as they were the trade carpenters choice.

  4. I've had two of them MOF 177 1/2" routers & two MOF 96E 1/4" & at the time there was no better Routers available. When the last MOF 177 got stolen I replaced it with an Hitachi (I still got it) & it's fucking garbage compared to the Elu & I still got one of the original Trend that replaced the 96E but the switches are crap the Trend has had about 5 new switches.
    I got the beast Festool OF2200 as main 1/2" router now but them Elu now Dewalt are still seriously well balanced & nice to use Routers. The design has barely changed in 30yrs & for good reason.

    I was surprised at just how much of a pig they are to open up for the bearings though.

  5. I've been wanting to see you doing an elu router mine is whistling wnen it is showing down was thinking of chang the bearings myself but after seeing that i think ill send it to you. Only thing is im in dublin๐Ÿ˜ข

  6. I had that same Elu router in the 120v flavor up until a fire sale a couple of years ago. You can 100% get the controller and tachometer for cheap from any Dewalt service center. BYO Bearings. Thatโ€™s the first thing Black & Decker cheaped out on with the bastardized yellow versions. Big time. PS – itโ€™s missing a nut. Two on the left thread at the top.

  7. Had a similar belt sander repair – used a couple balls of epoxy putty (clay like consistently) behind wear plate to give a new flat surface for plate to lay on – cheers – love the multiple tool videos

  8. Them elu routers have been around since the 70s they have been under different brands such as trend and dewalt, they only stopped making them about a year ago. I always think why change something if it works.

  9. Why could you not use the brushes you tried with the bad motor, on the Evolution mag-drill? You tested a set, ran it less than a minute, but then opened another new set for the new armature.
    Thanks
