    The first drill lasted at least 2 years before it failed as one of the brushes in the motor failed and destroyed the armature

    Ease understand that usi g this drill for sanding is probably the worst possible thing you can do with the drill

    The sanding dust along with the abrasive causes the gears and motor to wear so much faster than normal use
