One of my DeWalt cordless drills, one that is by my side so much I should call it "Shop Dog", has begun making a strange ozone smell and has visible sparking from the motor armature.
ServiceNet shows motor brushes as available for the drill. They are not easily removed, so I haven't looked at them yet. I've never had to replace brushes in a power tool, so I'm not familiar with the symptoms bad brushes might display.
Before I tear down a working drill and order $20 worth of parts, does it sound like I need to replace the brushes?
Thanks!
