With El Cheapo angle grinders it's six one and half a dozen of the other which fails first, the armature, or the gears, some times it's both, I know because the bloke I do some work for buys 2 or 3 every year, at the end of the year we spend half a day trying to get enough good bits to get one going, more often than not the whole lot is rubbish, so it goes in the box under the bench. His old one (probably 20yrs+) is still going strong. Ian S C
