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