This tool was confiscated by the TSA. I plugged it in and it runs fine, feels powerful in your hand. They made these things to last! I don't know a lot about it - so I took a lot of pictures. Please look it over carefully for any missing parts or problems. What you see is what you get!
There is duct tape around part of the cord. It did not seem to affect the opera...tion of the tool, but just be aware you may need to repair the cord. I did not test under load, just long enough to ensure it was working.
I am offering several shipping options if you are the winning bidder.
I offer free returns if the tool is not as described!On Jun-27-19 at 20:52:37 PDT, seller added the following information:Had these questions:Does the motor start every time you switch it on [ maybe 6 times in a row ] as these older grinders tend to have dead windings.

On Jun-28-19 at 08:01:51 PDT, seller added the following information:So, I turned it on 6 times in a row and it came on immediately and strong each time, no difference between the first time and the last time. Then I ran it for 3 full minutes to see if it got warm anywhere and it did not. Stayed nice and cool near the chuck. Then I switched in on and off a couple of times after that for good measure and no problems.
