Trouble With Spare Tire Hammer

This was sent in by one of our members

We were using a Spare Tire Hammer and we started noticing that it was not running smoothly and we could smell burnt rubber.
After some investigation we found that the spot welds that hold the motor to the motor base had broken and the motor was about to fall all on the floor.
We disassembled the motor and rewelded the base and it is now fine. The power hammer was made during the BAM clinic Thanksgiving 2005.
There were 18 or 19 hammers built during the clinic, all with the same electric motors.
Be sure to check your Spare Tire Hammer for bad welds. You should always check your power hammer and other power equipment for problems, before each use.
