I have this drill which is giving me slight shock, (i.e. like being prodded with needles) from the silver part, theres no shock from either the hand piece or trigger. Any idea what is wrong before I break it down.
Also if I place a face tester to metal parts while drill is running it lights up, should this happen?
You have a short. You should not get anything to light up for the most part. Is the rubber around the wire worn off? I would check that as that could cause this.
it is very dangous, maybe the insulation of the drill have been damaged, normally, such drill should have double insulation, the trigger of switch and the handle’s material is plastics, it is not conductor, so the face tester can not light
