Know how I know it's time to replace my dremel? The motor runs, but as soon as I touch it to anything it stops spinning :banghead: Time to go shopping!

Did you replace the brushes?

Haven't torn into it yet, it was late last night when it stopped working. I figured it was a good reason as any to stop for the night :D

Mine stopped working last year and I had the same reaction. Replaced the brushes for under 5 bucks (found a set on eBay) and got it running again.
