Repair or replace?

One of the commutator segments in my Bosch CSB550RE hammer drill (several years old, so well out of guarantee) has become partially detached which has broken the circuit so the drill no longer works. Is it worth looking at a repair (new commutator or motor) or should I simply buy another drill? If the latter, what makes are recommended?

unless you have lots of money, buy another
