Problems with Rotozip

I had a different problem with my Revolution. Since it was out of warranty (natch)
I fixed it myself. The problem was that it made a high pitched squeal. I took it
apart and found that the nylon fan that cools the unit had slipped out of place so
that it rubbed against the housing. I little gentle persuasion and some crazy glue
fixed it right up. I've used it a lot since then and there hasn't been any further
problemos.

Well, the tool was originally designed to simply do dry wall cut outs. If
you are doing more than that on a regular basis that may be your or its
problem. It is a rather light weight tool that is not built to last.

I bought mine for the lights too. Be carefull with collet lock
button. I think it is plastic. Brother broke it, HD replaced it.
