Drill leaks electricity to case

The leak is substantial, I believe, however when plugged into a regular breaker (and handled with caution appropriate for leaks to case), it actually works and does not blow the breaker. So, I think, the leak is limited in extent. My question is, what is the most likely culprit and how to approach repair of it. My another question is, what would be a typical application of this drill. I am trying to decide if I need it for anything. If the other guy doesn't live nearby, I live in Baltimore and I'd be glad to have it if you can't fi. i Remove NOPSAM to email me. Please let me know if you have posted also. |
