Replaceable Carbon Brushes - what is that about?
It means it’s a lo-tech motor that has consumable contact points between the rotor and power connectors. Over time / use they wear out.

You’d be doing well out of it if you actually wore the brushes out though. That’s a lot of drilling.
It will chisel those bricks out fine I reckon.

cheers on drill help
@jsabine - will they be much better than a brand new bosch masonry bit in my kit?
Think I might get what @Bobbo linked as I already have a drill @hugo7. Would that work for cutting out bricks from a bricked up fireplace? would i need a new drill bit for the 7mm hole I'm trying?
Looks solid. Replaceable Carbon Brushes - what is that about?
