    RIP my good loyal friend and partner.

    Lost a good friend and partner of nearly 20 yearsthis morning, she never let me down, day or night no matter what time was always by my side ready to give 100% no matter what I asked her to do.



    We had a few dissagrements over the years when she would bite my butt for not treating her right or abusing and misusing her.. I will never be able to replace her, but am religated to replace her with one not so capable or loyal im sure. we were cutting some gold fingers when she simply let out kind of a rattle deep in her body and had some kind of seasure and just died.

    rest in peace my loyal 1990 something 4 1/2 inch Black and decker grinder you will never be forgotten. .

    My condolences go out to you and your family olddude. It's never easy in times like this. No Home Depot or Lowes can replace her. My prayers are with you!

    Well time to tear her apart and play doctor. I would suggest a full autopsy.

    You had me there. I thought you were going to mention your dog or something. Glad it is only a grinder. Not that it is "only" a grinder, but glad none the less.

    Sorry for your loss, olddude. It's never easy to get over a true friend, especially when most of them now days are made in China!

    LOL! There's something that can be said about a trusty old power tool, and the loss of one hurts every time. RIP

    My condolences olddude. I recently lost a B&D drill after 30 years. It is now resting in pieces - in various buckets.
