Hi
I have a Makita DHP482 drill, not long out of warranty. I'm still on my first set of batteries if that shows how little use its had.
As you can see from the picture the commutator has shed a segment. Is this worth repairing or for £40 would you replace? Or is there another better model for a little more? Obviously the brushes would need doing too.
I'm disappointed tbh, I expected more from a "pro" grade tool. There's also a lot of play in the chuck which I think is a known issue on these. I haven't been impressed with the quality.
Cheers
