I think I would have plugged in the replacement at the store to see if
it was good.

Last week when I went on a spree at HF to equip my Flagstaff shop with the
requisite tools I wanted/needed to maintain my vehicles, I bought one of their
random orbit polishers. I’ve got one at the Florida house that has served me
well for some years, so I bought the same, possibly nicer/upgraded version.
Went to use it yesterday to polish some scratches out of the ML350’s finish.
Hit the switch and was greeted with a shower of sparks out of the motor vents,
accompanied by a rather nasty burning insulation odor. I wondered if maybe
there was some oil or lube that was burning off since it was new, so I
continued to use it for a few minutes without any change in it’s behavior.
I unplugged it and set it aside.
Took it back to HF today. Told the guy that I didn’t pay for the additional
“flamethrower” option, to which he chuckled and directed me to pull another off
the shelf to replace the one I was returning.
I was caught up with painting the kitchen and dining room today, so I didn’t
have a chance to test the replacement one. I’ll do that tomorrow.
