Drill leaks electricity to case

I have this Black and Decker 450 RPM drill: http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/450-rpm-drill.jpg When plugged into a GFCI outlet, it leaks electricity to ground and pops the GFCI breaker. The leak is substantial, I believe, however when plugged into a regular breaker (and handled with caution appropriate for leaks to case), it actually works and does not blow the breaker. So, I think, the leak is limited in extent. Let's just say I would not want to be handling that drill nor would I allow an employee or family member to handle it. It is time to have it repaired or replaced. My question is, what is the most likely culprit and how to approach repair of it. My another question is, what would be a typical application of this drill. I am trying to decide if I need it for anything. i -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |
