[QUOTE="six, post: 502066, member: 13557"] Hey up. Word of caution if anyone has a Clarke ccd240 24v cordless drill. So tonight i am converting early to late bay steering box. I am working under the van. I have just welded up the two holes and finished cleaning up the welds. I grab my clarke 24v cordless and drill the new holes to 10mm. Then changed the bit to 13mm and put it to one side. I am checking the holes with my cardboard template and smell this aweful smell. Burning electrical components. I look around the see smoke pouring out the drill vents. I go to grab it the plastic on the handle is soft and very very hot. drag it somewhere safe away from the van. I grabbed a cloth and disconnected the battery and it stopped. The drill was just standing there no intervention and it just started burning. i usually store it in the carry case, with the battery in. Glad it didnt start burning while packed in the garage. Obviously next steps are to make contact with Clarke and show them the pics and video Ill let you know what they say. thats all i have to say about that. [/QUOTE]
