Re: Heat Sinks for Drill motors
I gotta disagree with you, Lemur. Those drills can get pretty hot, just try "running them into the ground" and then doing the 5/10 second test. If you can touch the metal part of the motor for 10 seconds, you are A-OK. If you can touch it for 5 seconds, you should stop and let it cool. If you cannot touch it for 5 seconds, you are damaging the motor (we have melted a plastic casing before.)
I find a little muffin fan wire-tied on to be sufficient to diffuse heat from the drills.
