Thanks for the response. I guess when I took the inline oiler off, I did not give the drill enough time to expend the excess oil that was in the tool. OK I will remove the in-line oiler and only oil when I begin to use the tool. Is it safe to continue to run the tools in this fashion? How do you know when you need more oil?
I have since replaced the tool with a craftsman that is on order, however when I recieve it I will do what you suggested and remove the in-line oiler. Again thanks for confirming this for me.
