My Dewalt Drill trigger is failing, sometimes I have to hold it on for

the fwd/rev swtich around, spin the drill chuck, hit the drill with my

correlated it to moon phases, yet. I found a part on ebay for $63 so I
think I'll try fixing it first, otherwise it's a new drill purchase
instead extending the life of this old beast.

This is the assembly

It looks similar to this

Has anyone taken one of these apart? Does anyone have any idea how
these are constructed? it looks like a sizeable heat sink so I'm
guessing it's a wire-wound pot.

TIA,

I've had a few battery powered Dewalt drills. I won't get a Dewalt drill
again. I 'm disappointed in the battery lifetime*, I've had chuck
problems, also the clips that hold the battery in fail and the battery
must be pushed back in. I'm not sure what I will get, but I know what I
won't get.

Â**life of battery not discharge time.
