How to Repair a Handheld Electric Drill

Repairing electrical tools can be hazardous as well as difficult if you do not have the relevant experience. A little basic troubleshooting, however, is easy and quick.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Drill

1. Check the power supply. The cord should be free of rips, cracks, or exposed wires. If it is a cordless drill, check that the battery is charged, and that the charger is working properly.

2. Check to see if you are in the right mode. Your drill will not drill well if it is in reverse, for example.

3. Check to see if you have the right bit installed in your drill.

4. If these don’t fix your problem, it is time to call in a professional or replace the drill.
