Remember - only 20 milliamp will stop a heart.

Likely it is a powder layer (carbon from the brushes) that sprayed from
themselves to the case. Carbon resistor that gets lower and lower.

Likely a simple cleanup (inside) will do the trick.

I have this Black and Decker 450 RPM drill:

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.

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.
