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. :drozenski: :(.

Jeez olddude you had me worried until the end where I realized it was a grinder that had passed away LOL

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!

I thought a little levity would be apropriat at a time like this for a change. :)

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

I scrapped another one I had last year and felt like a canabal. :)

20 years? That's like 140 in human years.

Only you olddude, only you. Haha.

My condolences Olddude! Was she an organ donor?

thought you were talking about a dog until I read that last sentence.

Sorry to hear that Olddude...Thought I was going to lose mine couple of weeks ago but just ended up being brushes.

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!

Me too! I almost started crying! Geez.

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

Sorry for your loss, olddude. YOU BASTARD :)

LOL Good chuckle to start the day.

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