Are those permanent magnet motors? They are hell just to get apart....

I have a lot of musts for it in the field.

They offer a big condom for it to keep it clean(er) and absorb rage-fueled short range flights.

Yup, brushless permanent magnet DC motors...

Haven't used mine enough for it to behave as if it needs a teardown but yeeesh, that's dirty. That may be something to expect on my drill, however, as I use it a fair bit in the workshop and running trailer stabilizers up and down.

The fan will pull in whatever is in the air.

Your lungs probably look similar.

Yours probably gets the most severe duty so doubtful any of us have been inside as they are still working just fine.

Or a typical pit stop.

Seems there are a few companies making them for this gun.

Finished the clean up, continuity checks, etc. Don't know shit about mosfets, but, like anything else, if there's shit between the leads that's a bad thing. SMD stuff, it looks to have been hot enough to melt some excess solder away from the power mosfet leads but I wouldn't swear to it.. Sooooo0..... A Milkwaukee 1/2" Model 2763 lives. On the way home from the rig today bought a backup to the 2763, a High Torque model 2967....

Don't know how many years are between em but the new one is shorter, lighter, appears simpler mechanical, smoother , and A LOT MORE OOMPH...by god we can tear up some shit now...

I'm pretty impressed with the new one..........BADASS......

Yeah we're pretty hard on that shit out here...

I'm still at home using air and bought Craftsman ½" impact gun. It has 600 in reverse which seems to be good for the shadetree mechanic. That high torque model, 1100 install and 1700 in reverse would break a lot of the puny €-M12-M14 bolts I work with. I would not consider it adequate to use at the pulp mills I worked at which use industrial sized nuts and bolts.

Glad to say the Craftsman is made by Ingersol Rand and has been a great gun for years.

I had pneumatic Blue Point and IR for years, carried 1" drive for the onery pumping unit bolts, which went to 2-1/2"....no electric replacement or this stuff....but for the few minutes I work em anymore....Love Em!!

I have a brand new still in the oily bag IR air impact probably from the 80’s. I have a 110v impact that’s good enough (also IR) that obsoleted my air ones.

Interested in a trade anyone?
