Help! My Drill Quit!
My incredibly nice and reliable air drill gave me trouble today. The trigger doesn't work properly. I can get the drill to work if I hold the trigger down and connect the air but, if I release the trigger, pulling it again doesn't spin the drill! It's a Souix DR-1412. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Randy

Don't think the trigger is the problem
Randy,
Sounds like the main rotor in the drill needs to be cleaned and lubricated. A couple of things you can do until this. Try increasing psi or with the trigger depressed, manually turn the chuck until the air engages the rotor

DIY Repair?
Is this something I should try and tear apart myself? I looked on the Souix website but couldn't find any servicing information other than an illustrated parts breakdown.

I have a Rodac air drill purchased in 1974. When it was used all day, I would oil it daily with a drop, but once a week flood oil in it until it came through clean, not darkened. It has no issues since new. It will fog the place unless you cover the outlet with a cloth to catch the oil. As always, YMMV.
If "cleaning" does not help, then dissemble and repair.
Edit: Oil is Marvel mystery oil

Brown Tool can repair it if you can't get it working. I have several Sioux drills, and the one I use the most, your model, has lasted over ten years and thousands of holes with a drop of oil every once in a while.
Keep that drill. It is 3600rpm better.

From the same camp. Built an entire plane with Craftsman cordless. Never once hung a hose on anything.
