This weekend I decided to try Penetro 90 on a 25 year old 3/8" Sears single speed drill. This drill had seized up at its last engagment and was on its way to tool heaven.
What have I got to lose but 10 cents in penetrating oil and 5 minutes.
Plugged it in and pulled the trigger. All I got was a hum and no rotation. Tried turning by hand clock and counter clock. No joy. Then squirted with Penetro 90 and let sit.
After a few the old girl still just hummed.
With the trigger still pulled I turned the chuck by hand and away she went.
Now what kind of excuse can I give to buy another. When the old one works just fine.
Had my eye on a nice multispeed reversable too.
