    Judging by the fireworks show inside I would be questioning if the brushes even exist anymore or it’s just running on the springs

      Good news is that carbon brushes are cheaper than a new drill

          Doesn’t mean shit. I got a $25 powered no name screw driver and I use it every time I gotta grab a screwdriver. For years. No issues with it.

          Sadly most things are made to just die after a year and go into a landfill.

          Meh, I’d still give it a shot to look into fixing it.

          At the very least as a learning exercise.

          I’m a fan of fixing things and preventing stuff from finding their way into landfills when ever possible.

              Ah the lovely disposable tools, how I hate these so much.

              Thank you for the info.
