I have a Sioux 3/8" Close Quarters Drill Model 8000 I have used since the 70's. I knocked it off the bench and it landed on the chuck and broke the shaft on which the chuck is mounted. I've called a few of the companies that advertise parts for Sioux tools but most don't want to search for parts for something that old.
I also own one of the Milwaukee close quarter drills and am aware of the other brands that also amke close quarter drills. This drill has been used 2 or 3 days each week since the I purchased it and on the advice of a friend that owned one and used it in his body shop, he said blow it clean with air at the end of the day and it will last forever. I cleaned it every day I used it and this is the first time I've ever had to repair it.
Does anyone know of a company or someone who still has parts or repairs these old Sioux drills?
