Notes

Massage guns are portable and battery-driven, so the most common end-of-life drivers are battery wear and motor/bearing fatigue. Repair is sensible if the unit is newer and the fix is a replaceable battery or charging port.

Replace if the motor is failing, vibration becomes irregular, or the housing is cracked. Because many are sealed, labor can exceed the threshold quickly, making replacement common for older units.
