Earlier today my metal shears/snips died and now my right angle die grinder is dead.
Arguably both were my fault, but still... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) The shears died when I was trying to cut 1/8" aluminum stock. They made three cuts fine, and on the fourth, the main pivot bolt broke. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) The right angle die grinder died because the gears inside that make the 90 degree transfer stripped out. I think this is related to a retaining clip that came loose previously. I think when that got loose it chewed up the gears and then the rough edges and metal particles did the rest. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) So it off the HF for some new tools. The new right angle grinder will get some locktite first thing so that retaining ring will not come loose. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |
