I thought I had hit a main cable it made such a flash and bang, not sure its just bushes, think something exploded inside it, will take a look when I get a moment, but normally am of the view that mending them is normally hit and miss, it has already been taken apart once and the clutch is f&*(^$ already due to using it as a core drillmight only need a new set of brushes. man up and open it.
yep.got to keep our yankee cousins happy, else they chuck their toys out the pram and the drills into Boston harbour.what about milwaukee?
