Tools don't last as long. My 20 plus year old road kill (found on road) Milwaukee 1/2 drill is on it's last legs. Not to bad for a highway find.
Now to find brushes for it.

I've got one of those - much better than that hammer crimper. But if you do many, you'll want a powered hydraulic crimper soon enough
