Bosch 10.8V drill
My 10.*V Bosch Pro d/d emitted sparkles and magic smoke yesterday. I assume
that it hash brushes as this was near the rear end and I could see what looked like the commutator in the sparks. It's 5 years old and hasn't had heavy use - the Makita 18V combi has had far more use - and over 8 years, although it now has a Floureon NiMH battery that, so far, seems to be doing well. Do you think that it's repairable? If not, I'll be tempted to get another 10.8V - the Makita 12V d/d seems big and heavy now. Not sure about getting another Bosch, although a bare one and no charger would be cheaper so long as the battery fits. -- Peter. The gods will stay away whilst religions hold sway |
