found a used milwaukee close quarter drill and a half inch milwaukee drill on e bay yesterday. Look well used but thought I'd give 'em a shot for $40.

Use some compressed air every once-in-awhile to blow out the dust on your drill. The dust from your sanding gets into the bearings and that's part of the problem. I have a Makita I've been using for 4+ years without any issues whatsoever.

I blow it out every time I sand to.  I feel it keeps it cooler while running and will make it last longer.  I know why I just do not remember.

As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.
