Busted Trigger on my Dyna :(

[richy]

I'm working on this Roush Mustang right now (it's taking me forever, <sigh>) and in the middle of the job, the trigger stops working on my Dynabrade rotary. This is why you need a backup for every important tool you have. I hate my backup rotary....soft start, no power..yuck...but, I was able to finish the job with it. Ordering a new switch from Detroit for $55 and I will hopefully have it back up and running next week.

Richy, what do you use as a backup rotary?

Do you have the Dynabrade with the adjustable handle that turns side to side? How much did your Dyna run you? How long have you had it?

It's this cheap unit I got at a discount tool store in Canada. It's made by Coleman of all things. I had actually bought it just to be a backup due to its low price. I'll tell you one thing: It really makes you appreciate a fine machine when you have to subsitute it with something else!

Chris, mine is the 51580. It is a few years old..I don't remember if I've had it 4 or 5 years. Here is a link to one:

Mine does not have the adjustable handle due to its age. There are 2 things I love about it: no soft start and the ton of torque it has.
