Muffin fans won't SOLVE the problem. If you're burning up lots of drills or gearboxes you've got a mechanical problem on your hands (remember it's never the EE's or CE's fault . Installing Muffin fans will however help to cool the motors some. If the gearboxes are getting hot enough to melt the Muffin fan can't put out enough air to cool them that much. However, if they're heating up from general wear and tear than the Muffin fan can help a bit. So basically the Muffin fan can help but won't solve your problem.
