The drill has lasted me almost 10 years at this point of light usage. I opened it for the first time to re-grease with some lithium grease, and noticed despite it saying brushed motor it sure looks like I'd need a Dremel to open this. Figured I'd ask if anyone has seen similar and if so, is there a trick to opening this when the the brushes wear out?

damn planned obsolescence.

are the plastic tabs not a way to disassemble? not openable from the other side either?

    Other side is sealed. Just a gear attached and no way in . The plastic tabs don’t seem to move, least anything I’ve tried does nothing. Only video I can find on a remotely similar model showed someone using a dremel to get in in lovely 240p
