Trouble is that it one of those tools that sits in the garage doing nothing until an urgent job crops up that it is ideal for.

THEN . . . . . . . .

Then again it has never let me down before, even when last year I managed to burn out one of the armature coils. Just needed a quick mallet tap to start it sometimes, but today another coil went south and though I can get it rotating it is rather rough and it smells a bit burny.

Sad, really sad. Though it has earned a long and peaceful retirement.
