    That's what I thought but there was no thermal cutoff on the unit that I could find and, besides, the problem actually occurred a couple of days ago. I just didn't get around to looking at it until today and it didn't run when I tested it before beginning my repair efforts.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I've had some battery operated stuff that had a thermal OL on the motor of the tool, as well as one in the battery pack. The only people making money are the TOL manufacturers.
