Hi Tony, the Wolf pistol drills are very robust, I have several.
The B&D types were only designed for 500Hrs of use (10 years for the average DIY'er), but with occasional maintenance the last well beyond that; I recon the hammer drill version one I got from a skip must be up beyond 5000 hrs now as I do a lot of DIY

Battery drills often respond to restuffing the battery packs, I use cells from de-fibrillators with some success.
