Finally got up my courage, and pull apart my Metabo corded
half inch hammer drill. It died, with no aparent reason, a
couple weeks ago. I'd been using my Skil 3/8 drill, for
installing deadbolts. Finally ground the gears so it doesn't
work. Installing deadbolts is a bit too rough on the Skil, I
guess.

Turns out the white wire broke, about an inch from the plug.
That was easy. And I spent all this time worried about it.
Sigh.

Lucky me, doesn't have to go spend money and buy a new
drill. In 1985, I paid over $200 for this drill. One like
this, somewhat, at Walmart about $75. And $26 at Harbor
Freight.
