I have a 6001D 12 volt Makita cordless drill. All at once it does not run , tried several batteries. the drill has worked great and has modest amount of use. what is the problem? Is the switch bad? I need to know more before ordering a switch as they are about $60.00 Is there a site about how to get the chuck off in order to take the drill apart. Is ther a test to determine the problem.. I like the drill as it is light in weight. JNO...

I tryed to take off the change ring and now I can't get off or back on. It was working ok, but tryed to remove to correct an electric problem. After removing screws is it suppost to pull off? I think the cam plate is out of position.
I just purchased a Makita 6011D at a garage sale that would 'slip' like it was on the lowest setting and also would not change speed. Thanks to your forum I was able to remove the chuck and found the shifter was broken. I temporarily fixed it and everything else appears to work. My first question is - is there anything else I should check and/or repair while I have it opened up? My second question is what is the best method for storing the batteries that will enhance their life and ideally have some level of charge for a quick job - keep them on the charger all of the time? or charge just when you need it? or?????
