While helping my son repair some steps to his deck and drilling some 3/8
holes through the stringers yesterday, my Makita 18v LI drill crapped
the bed. Plenty of battery, but it wouldn't drive the bit. I love that
drill. So this morning I drove 30 miles to the Makita service center to
see if I somehow busted the clutch. Turns out I must have knocked the
top as the speed control was in neutral. Since confession is good for
the soul, I never even knew the damn thing had selectable speeds :-)

We all do that at some time in life. Our toaster quit working. took in
apart. Checked all the circuit board parts. Checked OK. Cleaned the
switch contacts even though they looked OK. Reassembled toaster. Still
dead. Then noticed the GFI tripped. Reset ,,Toaster OK. WW

You are lucky you could find the GFI reset. I looked for an hour for it
in a house we had recently moved into. The circuit I was using was on
the outside receptacle and I finally found the reset in the bathroom.
