Makita impact driver dead spots
I have a Makita 18 v impact driver. 16 months use and from last week occasionally wouldnt start. The led lights but wont drive either direction. I turned the driver by hand and it will kick in- like there is a dead spot on the rotor? Does this thing have brushes or maybe a dirty commutator?

Depends on model you have. There are 2 brushless models - BTD132 (14.4V) and BTD144 (18V) - both have big BL letters on housing. According to your picture, you have BTD140 which has brushes. When you open user manual, you can find section dedicated to changing brushes. In case it does not help, you migh want to check trigger. Juraj
