    Excellent restoration as usual. As a pass on MD, Harbor Freight sells a bag a various wooden stick cotton sticks. The sizes range from a small Q-tip up to a puff ball about the size of a quarter. Pretty sturdy and I’ve used them in my Dremel as well as my drill. I think I paid 5-6 bucks for a bag.

    I’ve switched to Flitz on your recommendation for plastic leaving the Brasso to heavily oxidized metal. Really unfortunate that Stanley cheapened that push drill to the point of unusability; why bother with that grade of product when the previous versions were so much better. There is just no value in cheap goods, no matter if it’s tools or anything else. If you have to keep buying a replacement the “low price” is meaningless. Wonderful video by the way.
