    Criticisms: The hand piece with the duplex spring tends to kink and
    break the spring when used at too steep an angle or too high a speed.
    If used for extended periods the hand piece tends to heat up. 

    Problems. overheating and binding of duplex spring 

    Modifications. I don't use the hand piece with the duplex spring. 

    Availability: It is a foredom and everyone carries and repairs them
    or ships them back to foredom or you can contact foredom direct 

    Comments:  I keep the old worn out had pieces for parts in an
    emergency and usually return them to foredom for repair when it is
    convenient. Most of the parts are interchangeable between the foredom
    models. Frank Goss
