Notes

Rotary hammers are heavy-duty drilling/chipping tools that wear fastest in dust and high-load use. Repairs are worth it when the issue is brushes, switch, or a chuck part and the tool is not near end-of-life.

Replace if the motor/armature is damaged, the gearbox housing is compromised, or repeated bearing failures occur. Dust control and regular maintenance strongly affect longevity.
