Don't Make 'em Like They Used To

Update:
Picked up my Dremel 3000 from the neighbor down the street who said it overheated and the winding would need replacing. In other words, it died.

An online review website stated the model 3000 was not up to any real heavy work, models 4000 and above were recommended for that.

The instruction manual recommended running a new tool (or a used tool after replacing the brushes) for five minutes at full speed without a load in order to seat the brushes and extend the life of the tool. I did not read that beforehand.
