Saving a Drill From the Landfill How I Repaired a Broken Metabo Drill Instead of Throwing It Away

Is your trusty cordless drill suddenly dead? Perhaps the light comes on when you pull the trigger, but the motor won't spin? Before you think about throwing it away and spending a fortune on a new one, you might be able to fix it yourself for just a few quid!

In this comprehensive, step-by-step tutorial, I'll walk you through the entire diagnostic and repair process in simple, layman's terms. We'll find out if the fault is with the battery, the switch, or (as in this video) the motor itself.
These motors fit Metabo and other makes like BS10, Babominimer, Bebykilemi, ComfyHarbor, Eawfgtuw, Entgoinggo, Fauhapyway, HavenDomicile, HEBEOT, Honseadek, Niceminiwall, Pumixiy, and Zilimontt.
✅ I'll show you exactly what you'll need for the job, including a multimeter, crocodile clips, Torx screwdrivers (and those tricky "safety" bits!), and some handy jump leads.
✅ You will learn how to safely test your cordless drill battery and understand what the voltage reading means. I'll explain how battery cells work (series vs. parallel) and what your charger's "BMS" (Battery Management System) looks for before it will initiate a charge. This is a crucial first step!
✅ Once we have the drill casing open, I'll show you how to test the trigger switch to confirm it's sending voltage to the motor using a multimeter.
✅ We'll see the tell-tale signs of a burnt-out motor (like the metal fragments I found on this one) and confirm it's the problem.
✅ I'll show you how to find the specific part number on the old motor (in this case, "317005100") to source a cheap replacement online.

*Fixing your own tools is incredibly satisfying, saves you money, and, most importantly, stops another perfectly repairable item from ending up in a landfill.*
