Bravo.
It's increasingly difficult to nearly impossible to repair tools these days and keep them off the scrap heap or out of landfills.

Sometimes we just don't look for a do it yourself solution. I was recently able to replace the tachometer on my Milwaukee/Jessem router. A number of people told me the router was toast.

I don't necessarily agree with that.
I think a lot of people attempt to. What many discover is the economics of repairing a lot of stuff isn't favorable. You spent the same amount as a new (relatively) drill. More if you value your time at more than free. For some people it's a simple equation. They aren't attached to nostalgia, or money, or an idea.
A friend of mine just had a dishwasher give up the ghost. It's most likely the heater, a $400 part. And the bill goes up if that's not the only thing wrong. Which is hard to say until you crack the case. Even so, she still has a 6 year old DW . 400 bucks gets her a brand new dishwasher tomorrow with a phone call or mouse click.

I do believe I used the word "Sometimes".

CPO Outlets has factory reconditioned PS31 Kits for $64.99 (as of this morning). I bought one for Christmas for my son (the price was $72.99 when I bought 3 days ago).
CPO Outlets Factory Reconditioned PS31 Kit
I have been very pleased with their reconditioned Bosch tools. I purchased reconditioned Bosch AC090AH-RT 9-Gallon Dust Extractor from them last year.
They also have the reconditioned drill/impact driver kit for $99.99: CPO Outlets Factory Reconditioned CLPK22 Kit
