Lesson learned. That caused micro-bursts in the drill where the carbon brushes contact the armature (you know.where you see the sparks inside the drill).
The extra handle is quickly removed or installed with a twist of the wrist. This reconditioned drill looks just like the new one I destroyed.These have so much torque that I was using it to turn over a 12 HP Gravely tractor engine by putting a socket and small extension in the jaws of the drill.
These 1/2 inch drills are great for big jobs or when lots of torque is needed. Well, I didn't think about it, but ether (the starting spray) is VERY flammable and some of the vapor drifted back to the drill.
Cool idea, right. But this one time I used starting spray in the carb to speed things up.
So even though the drill still tried to run, it couldn't because of the craters in the armature created by the micro-bursts. The reconditioned one I bought lessened the sting of the loss, and now I have spare parts.
This drill is a great value and is as good as new even though it was factory reconditioned. Compare the price at the big box stores and you will buy this one.
The Dewalt reconditioned drill arrived quickly, brand new in appearance, and with all of the parts. It works great reducing a 3hr 30min job to 30 minutes. We are very pleased.
i live in a loft-style apartment with a large bare concrete wall. this hammer drill does the job drilling small holes in concrete for shelves and other various needs.
