Do you just want channels that repair things, or also channels that build things? I can recommend quite a few of the latter.

This Old Tony!
I kinda hope Michael reeves is included in the latter. Dudes bat shit insane. But in a good way.
He was one I was thinking of. Along with William Osman, I Did A Thing, and Stuff Made Here
This is not a repair channel, but you might like "The Secret Life of Machines", a small british tv sgow that explained certain technologies and was run by basically 2 british lads. one of them is still around and has a YouTube channel
Joe's Classic Videogames is great and fun nostalgia about the insides of the classic arcade cabinets and pinball machines of yore.
Lots of insider information on how these things worked and what goes wrong with them, and satisfying play on the machines after they've been fixed!
Taryl Fixes All is pretty good
StezStix fix (https://youtube.com/@StezStixFix?si=HX-LBj7IIXQvLnq2)
His fixing videos are rather short and technically not very difficult, but heβs quite funny.
Cutting Edge Engineering is more of a machinist, but he does a lot of repair work. And has a bit of a dry Aussie wit that he sneaks into his videos.
Vice Grip Garage, Junkyard Digs, DD speedshop and Polebarn Garage all work on old cars and all have a self-deprecating redneck engineering kind of humor.
TheCod3r livestreams are pretty funny for me. :) He mostly repairs consoles while making banter with the audience.
