Got the infamous 1/2" cordless impact
Got because I needed the battery charger
But another 4Ah battery+ a useful tool was too sweet of a bargain

Took it back to Lidl and got my money back it caught on fire at the very first use

Pleasure to meet you earlier today. And thanks for saving these from that 12yd skip.

A particularly nice example of a good clean motor. One careful owner.

I spotted this in a skip during our evening walk. At first I thought it was a warped sheet of dirty plywood, and then noticed some threads on an exposed end. Yippie-ky-yay ! A length of conveyer belt, 42" wide by 8+ feet long and 1/2" thick. I stopped by this morning, and the guy said " yeah, take it, and the whole skip too, lol. " It was a heavy ba$turd to move, but I have a use for it; happy day.

Sorry, I will be using it myself.

Cleaned it up last night - totally transformed with a quick brush over. Checked the windings and did an insulation resistance test - all good. Runs smoothly. I need to clean the end cover up and respray. New capacitors too.

thats the idea of TEFC, totally enclosed fan cooled, no ingress

That's right.

As an aside, I have another motor that has low powered heater elements inside the motor, presumably where ingress and condensation could not be ruled out. I suspect it's an expensive motor.

Make a nice back stop .................................

Just what I was thinking when I discovered it in a skip. I plan to build a target cabinet for air gun shooting. A couple of layers ought to be plenty to stop pellets from a sub 12 ft lb air rifle. I've already tested rubber backed carpet tiles, which only needed three layers.
