This is an awesome video! The 2 things you change the most are replacements batteries and brushes on a DeWalt. At least I can save some money using this.
Rigid owner - save some money and upgrade to DeWalt. Better tool!
Rigid is lower grade Milwaukee. Milwaukee owns rigid and ryobi & Milwaukee being flagship.
@MrToolstop The brushes are usually both the same, the polarity is most probably determined by the way the drill is wired. If I was you I would try and find an exploded parts diagram for your drill so you are getting the correct parts and that particular model is serviceable.
Great videos, thanks for posting these! Could I ask you a question ?.....I want to disassemble my Rigid 12 inch miter saw. to lube the bearing out, at the blade. I cannot get the housing apart, on mine.
Thank you very much for this video.......I thought that my Drill was a gonner.... so, I decide to check on the brushes and there it was ! but when I discovered it had solution I found my self with no clue on what to do next ; Thanks to this video I can now bring my Drill back to life!
Use this as an oppotunity to bin the yellow diy drill and replace with a Makita, Hitachi or Bosch.
Dewalt is strictly a t.v handyman/ diyers choice....

What do the brushes do?

@EyeRing100 A brushed drill motor has an armature which is used to distribute the power to the coil wirings inside.

@MrToolstop Is one brush positive and the other negative? I'm just freeballing. I'm taking apart an old drill and trying to restore it. Thanks.

@flywelder I'm sorry but we don't have the Ridgid power tools in the UK so we've never been able to get our hands on them.

Yes it probably does, but I guess it being a true work horse it'll never get a chance for a make over.

Hi Mr.Toolstop
Please instruct viewers that using a good spray contact cleaner is necessary to wash off the accumulated carbon dust inside the brush area.
