My number one tool for removing cats recently needed a fix to remove some surface rust from the reciprocating plunger. The plunger got stuck in the guide and could not be back out using a screw driver to back up the armature from the fan blade because Milwaukee built in a slip clutch.
The slip clutch saves the motor from burning out should the operator encounter a jammed blade.
Short video demonstrating the slip clutch, you'll also notice that all the components and gears are made from steel, nice counter weight to eliminate vibration which would result in operator fatigue.
On the plunger end of the connecting rod the guide is equipped with good quality bearings,
IMHO this is a very well designed tool.
