No I haven't contacted Makita, it's the first impact drill I owned so it's at least 5 years old.
if I pull the trigger halfway, it just goes to a high speed - not a speed the tool comes standard with.
I took it apart once when the drill stopped having the torque to turn something and when I put it back together it had this ultra highspeed thing going on so I'm sure I put it back together wrong.
Niw that I recall, I guess the primary issue was that the drill no longer had the torque to turn a lag screw enough...like it was skipping instead of turning the lags.
Would that be a brush?
I kbow whatever else is going on I'm sure I can reassemble it properly, I just need to know the root cause here.
