The drill bit from my hole saw arbor, which is only about 10 years old, failed while drilling the terminal cup hole

index.php?t=getfile&id=971&private=0

resulting in this damage Sad

index.php?t=getfile&id=972&private=0

Just prior to that I discovered my old friend the corded, torque-out-to-there, Bosch 1/2" drill, purchased in 1997, was dead, R.I.P.

The trigger mechanism is broken and the parts are a little more than half the cost of a new drill, so...

OTOH, I have a Rockwell "Dome Top" router that's at least 30 years that keeps on truckin'. Just used it, in fact, to rout the ports in the black Formica rear panel.

I don't know what's going downhill faster, me or the tools Laughing

Dang, Bill, I hear you!

I don't mind when I lose a drill bit, or even a drill. But when it screws up my work as it goes out, now that's frustrating!
