    AvE called out the only problem I've had with my 6-year-old 887... No bellows on the trigger switch. Micro metal shavings migrate into the trigger swith and eventually cause it's variable speed control to go demonic. Flushing the switch out with electrical contact cleaner removes the demons. Related complaint... If the trigger switch ever does go down, it is potted together with the brainbox. Replacement part cost for the potted assembly is $20 shy of an entirely new driver. Makes repair pointless.

It has taken an impressive amount of beating, I've run the thing so hard the hammer housing burned me, it's been exposed to , oil, coolant, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, brake cleaner, all the nasty stuff. The thing just keeps running, I'm pretty happy with it.

I've had the impact section so hot it could burn you and have even set a car down on it on accident and somehow it didn't break, just bent (not permanently) and flung itself across the shop. Even the overmolding is still fine after being covered in oil and brake cleaner for its whole life.

    I often come across the tracks of electricians past, and would argue that electricians favourite screws are 3 1/2” 6’s which have been used in the vain hope of finding anything at all to screw into ! Now I think about it I have never seen such screws anywhere on sale in the normal building emporia that I frequent, so there must be places down alleys that sparks go to purchase the materials of their bizarre trade,which must be full of the longest thinnest screws ever made.

    @@wes11bravo one of my CPE clients started losing CO lines, one at a time - about one an hour. My techs were booked up with installs, so I went. I found that the painters had taken a rain day but they had showed initiative and had taken a six-pair of protector off the wall to paint under it. But, they left it open, in the rain catch position but slightly inclined. Three pair or underwater and the creek was rising. I tried it out as best I could, put the cover back on and called the trouble in to the LEC. I followed up at the premises a little later and found New England Telephone's tech on the phone with either his foreman or the test board. "I had enough one pair of protectors to get their pots lines back in service. But, the police department says the alarm line still shows 'trouble'. He had ignored me up till that point, but I made a horizontal peace sign in his direction, and then flipped it over like a pancake. He gave his brain a high five. "You're not going to believe this. But, a guy just walked in off the street and told me how to fix it. I'm going to flip the polarity and call them back." I didn't spoil his moment by telling him who I was.

    I use the back of my hammer drill to tap plastic anchors into stucco/concrete. It takes such a light tap I doubt it hurts the tool. I won’t bother adding a hammer to my belt just for that... A hardened case back meant for tapping would be nice. But you can bet some fool would use it on nails and ruin the fun. If it was built to tap, it’d get heavy quick.
