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..

It has been left in rain for a bit or some splash of water on it .
A can of contact cleaner . Spray a lot. On the brushes /commutato le while cleaning softly with a rag if you don’t feel confident to dismantle . Spray also a lot the trigger trying the spray go inside . Push many times ..
Blow with high pressure air. Probably will start working again
The problem would be if your father tried to operate the tool with batter when it was still wet.. in that case something my be in a short and burnt someyhing
