Drill Motors are pretty tough...

In my opinion you have to be pretty abusive before the drill motors give you any grief at all.

The motors can get VERY hot before they have any serious problems (unlike the Fisher Price motors which seem to melt fans if they even THINK about putting in a hard day's work ;-)

Yes, I know that output suffers when they get hot. Yes I know that over the long term abuse kills even the room temp. performance. But honestly, I can only think of one or two in 5 years that just flat out died on us. Not a bad record considering the abuse we have given them (cool in a can and all).

As to the reliability of the transmissions that come with the motors... ...I have much to say about that...

...it will keep for another day.
