Repairing a Makita DHP458 cordless drill with a burnt out motor.

This makita drill has not seen much work, but it's been worked hard. It's been over worked and cooked the armature, melted the brush holder and brushes.
This particular model has dropped a lot in price now so its not always worth repairing.
This particular repair cost 60 euro all in.
A new drill can sometimes be bought for 120 euro. so this repair is just borderline worth it.

    Nice job, great to see stuff getting fixed not dumped into the bin. Some time ago I worked for a multinational tech company, they spent so much money and effort trying to determine how they could decrease the life cycle of their products. They called it “right sizing” in other words they wanted customers to keep the item for 2-3 years then upgrade to the latest model, sad fact was that “upgrade” was generally cheaper and less well made than it’s predecessor. Anyway, keep up the good work.. love the videos

    Was going to ask about whether the repair cost was worth it and then saw your note in the description. A 458 is going for £80-90 including VAT here or 95-105 euro .

    My makita fell into a bucket of water. I took it straight out and took the battery off. After a 2 days in a room with a humidifier i took it apart and cleaned away some rust as best as possible. I put it back together and now its stops and starts. Any idea what the problem might be as all the wires looked in tact. Its smells a bit too and sounds terrible. Any advice would be much appreciated.. forgot to mention its brushless
