> Old tools with brushed motors arc during normal operation!

I have all of my grandfathers old Craftsman steel-shell electric power tools with brushed motors. I put a new cord on one of the hand drills a few years ago (the old cloth covered cords are terrifying) and tried using it for a project. That thing throws sparks like a Zippo.




They're fun to use in dim lighting like under a cabinet. You get your own little light show!
