   Something I've noticed but haven't handled one in person is that the   
   motor appears to be fully enclosed on them. I wouldn't buy one that   
   isn't🤷️   
      
   I fix stuff for friends and family on the cheap (free) and I've had two   
   abrasive cut-off saws and one 4" angle grinder with shorted windings in   
   the armatures. They had A LOT of metal slag and crud floating around,   
   stuck inside the motors. Armatures are expensive. Only fixed one of   
   them, a Dewalt ~14 inch saw with a new armature. Even that a was big   
   pain in the butt. Had to mod a home made arbor press to remove some of   
   the bearings...
