It's used a lot for vaccing out sills and box sections on the vans, and keeping work area clear of grit, swarf etc. Noisy and very powerful!

	Probably approaching 20 years old, it packed up this winter, creating quite a sulk ;) Rather than chuck my Goblin 1000+, it was stripped down, a motor ball-bearing had collapsed, and rebuilt with some difficulty, at a cost of 2 evenings and £7-50 for a couple of Googled bearings (just had to have a spare).

'''HM:''' Best tool in the workshop?

Well, after the bench, vise, drill, full-size hacksaw and some files, ''this'' is about the next most useful thing!. It's used a lot for vaccing out sills and box sections on the vans, and keeping work area clear of grit, swarf etc. Noisy and very powerful!

Probably approaching 20 years old, it packed up this winter, creating quite a sulk ;) Rather than chuck my Goblin 1000+, it was stripped down, a ball-bearing had collapsed, and rebuilt, at a cost of 2 evenings and £7-50 for a couple of googled bearings (a spare)...

It's had various other mods, but is quite lethal if any light tools are around. With a clean filter, it'll spin a turbo-charger up into quite a screaming fit.
