Back in 1973 I worked in a tool shop for a short while, they sold black and decker drill amongst other things. A lot of the drill would get brought back after a short while burnt out, on one occasion when the B&D rep was in he told us that some of the B&D range motors were rated in seconds and others in minuets depending on the grade after that only the higher rated ones were stocked, some were still brought back but now we checked the numbers on the drills as it turned out people were buying the cheap ones at Woolworths breaking them then buying a good one from us and coming in a few days later trying to claim their money back. As there was not much difference other than serial numbers in those days it was easy thing to do for the unwary.

As a metal finish guy I have love for a good air rotoray sander. In fact I use the same exact brand and model for auto body that I used in a factory making parts for file cabinets.

While in school one of my EE professors was telling us he worked for a power tool manufacturer and a dirty trick the company would do is add resistors in with the motor to make it draw more amps on the label but still use small cheap motors. His point was rating a tool by how many amps it draws is not a good way because you can easily scam people.

I just came home drunk, with a backpack full of beer glasses. And now I' m watching this vid while opening tax letters telling me that I should get money back from the government. Surprisingly life is pretty good right this moment and I'm glad you're all part of what caused that.

Lived in Tempe AZ for two years, had to drive through a dust storm once. Like a blizzard, but more orange and less slippery. Can confirm it as a god forsaken, sun blasted hellscape.

Now I got a few people asking to make them some at a small cost. Would this be a problem with you. I understand fully if not and ill gladly forward them to a link of yours to purchase. Thanks
