Have this ikea drill. Started doing this recently. I think I need a new one

Just a bit of sparking from the brushes, you can just run it till it dies. Or replace the brushes which is easy and cheap.
Mine does exactly the same.
Try cleaning it with compressed air first. Might just be crud on the carbon brushes for the motor.
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
That drill costs like $25 bucks sooooooooo
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.
I’ve watched a tear down of one of these before, and actually just rewatched it and the brushes aren’t replaceable
Ah the lovely disposable tools, how I hate these so much.
Thank you for the info.
