1 M & K Memorandum Toronto Date: September 21, 2023 To: Brenda Seymour, Canadian Director of Procurement From: Estella Qi, Equipment Development Shop Supervisor Subject: Equipment evaluation of the Brakoh cordless drill The Brakoh cordless drill is evaluated as requested. It is breaking down every 6 to 8 months, four times faster than the previous model, the Luxe cordless drill. The causes of failure are indicated below. Brakoh Drill The Brakoh cordless drill has plastic gears, which wear easily and slip. The gears connect to the chuck, which holds and rotates the drill bid. After 6 to 8 months, there is a grinding noise from the housing, and the chuck fails to tum. The Brakoh cordless drill uses a 9-volt nickel cadmium battery. The lifetime of the battery in the Brakoh cordless drill is 6 to 8 months. Luxe Drill The Luxe cordless drill we used previously had gears made of stainless steel which didn't break down The Luxe cordless drill uses a 9-volt lithium battery. The lifetime of the battery in the Luxe cordless drill is 24 to 32 months. It appears that the manufacturer of the Brakoh cordless drill has replaced expensive parts in high wear components with less expensive parts to lower price. If you have any further questions please contact me at 827-5406. Mike Schoen
