I surprised myself.

[difflock]

The Panasonic cordless had stopped working, absolutly completely, the new one:confused1:, not the trusty indestructiblee old one.

So I sat down and split her open.

Had a poke round in her guts and seeing nowt obvious amiss, decided to check the brushs.

Woila, one was well stuck:confused1:, freed it up, a wee squirt of WD40, screwed all back together.

And bless my soul it worked 110%

With no bits left over.

PS

I kinda understood such wonders of modern technology were beyond repair.

Modern technology is repairable It's just the through away world we are living in.

Did the same with my cheap b&q router today, switch has been getting dodgy for a while so stripped the switch unit down and found one of contacts was dirty, cleaned it all up, rebuilt it (took about 15 mins to work out the best technique to get all the springs etc back together at the same time) and all is working well.

Then went on to make a new "eggs for sale" sign

Well I hadda fix the drill before I could fix the back door, which, no word of a lie, has been hanging on the one survivng top hinge (out of 4) all week.

Welded the spud of the broken hinges to a cutting of heavy section wall-plate strap, an fixed the door too.

After welding (with my useless dog of , in the eyes of some leastwise , a "buzz-box" air cooled welder) a 3mm drill bit to the end of a 250mm cutting of 10mm re-bar to allow me to bore pilot holes within a 1/2" of the reveal.

Am proper on a roll.
