HI, I have a Craftsman 315-116890 19.2 volt drill. It won't run unless I jar it pretty hard. I suspect the brushes need replacing, but I can't find them anywhere. Am I barking up the wrong tree?

They all do that a bit. The sparks when starting up and stopping are normal. If it has been used alot brushes may be a good idea but before they need to be changed it will spark quite a bit.

It will not hurt to inspect the amount of brush material remaining.

SOURCE: how do you replace the brushes on a Bosch Drill GSB18-2RE

The brushes are usually accessable from the outside, sometimes not, but just remove the plastic cover with a screwdriver, with it unplugged and the brush pops out, replace with one the same size.
