More Bulk pickup tools, 5 Makita grinders..
« on: April 07, 2015, 03:00:31 AM »
More Bulk pickup tools, Got 6 Makita grinders.. Tested, Took apart, tried to fix..
3 of the 4 1/2" angle grinders, commutator were wasted, broken, pieces in motor.. can salvage the plug wires & Gear Heads.

The 2 ea. Makita 7" Heavy Duty Angle Grinder/Sander got fixed; (Had fun fixing & running them)
GA7911, 7" - 9" Sander/Grinder cleaned the carbon brushes, stuck with grinding dust. Works great!!!
GA7001L 7" grinder, tested plug to trigger, open line, replaced plug wire & Cleaned,  Works Great!!

I like Bulk-Pick-up time of the month...

Thank you guys...
I like to; "Keep "OldTools" alive by giving them a purpose" and I am not just talking about me! but the "Old Tools" also...
It keeps me busy, thinking, working, great retirement hobby... and I can sell them for pocket cash...
