Porter-Cable New York 516R, 1/2" Heavy-Duty Drill Review/Teardown/Service

This is a nice old drill that has had a bit of a rough time and I get it mostly sorted out, I like the drill overall but the 6amp 550rpm means it is a little less powerful then the competitions 450rpm standard for heavy spade handle drills but does offer a nice balance of productivity and torque.

Mr Maximus, This is the video we have been waiting to see. 😸😸 The easy-access cap at the back of the motor bearing reminds me of the world famous grease cup on classic Porter-Cable helical gear circular saws. Naturally, I will take this opportunity to remind you the channel is overdue for an in-depth analysis of a Porter-Cable 146, 115 or 168 circular saw. Finally, for gosh sakes, get those handles welded and this drill will be ready for another 65 years of service!!!😁

Sounds great now. Looks like a wrist breaker, I hope I can find one. Thanks Catus 😊

Have one. Mine has the original red side handle. Same shape as yours, but red.

Just out of curiosity, does something like JB Weld work on aluminum? P.S. more Tiny!
