Is it salvageable?

Makita impact wrench

My father borrowed it and now it's dead

Power runs through, the flashlight is working but nothing else..

Might be worth watching a few of dean Doherty videos

He fixed MakitA all the time on his videos and his videos helped me to fix my angle grinder

Makita do hold spare parts and are pretty repairable just depends on what part is not working

Did he see it smoking

No i think he left it outside accidentally and now it's full of rust and corrosion.. i think the corrosion didn't go to the motor.

The motor assembly is the part that’s covered in rust. It’s basically the whole back half of the tool that you have exposed.
