Drill just stopped working
Brand new drill. Used it a handful of times. Just stopped working while I was using it. Charged both batteries and still does nothing. Never got wet or dropped.
Is this a good question?

More than three years old and it was a gift. No reciept so can't take it back.
Evan, if drill looks brand NEW as you stated in your original question and the store still sells that exact model, talk nice to the store clerk in the tool dept. tell them it was a gift and see what they can do. Other wise you will have to take the drill apart and test the parts trigger, motor,etc to find the fault and order the replacement part if feasible. I will post a link for replacement parts and how to guide, check it out.
Will do. Thanks

Do you have any lights etc when pressing trigger? Mine would do everything right with lights etc, however when trigger pressed it would hardly ever do anything.. found the problem was with the speed selector switch on top. When in pulled drill apart i found the selector switch makes contact with 2 metal tracks, these were really dirty.. after cleaning them it works perfect.. just be very careful pulling apart as there are a few small pieces that can come loose.
This was on a ryobi 18v
