I'm in the market for a new cordless drill driver and I've noticed
that you can still buy some products where the motor smells like a

Can anyone tell me why some motors smell this way and some don't and
is this good, bad or irrelevant?

Cheers, Rumble

p.s. I think I'm going to settle on the Makita 6337DWDE3 / 8280DZ twin
pack (14.4V 3 x 2.6Ah NiMH). Any comments on this choice appreciated.

Dunno about the Scalextric smell, but I have a 14.4v Mak combi and its
superb, real pleasure to use, not too heavy but loads of welly. Mines only
got 1.3 a/hr NiCad batteries and they last really well.
