What were you doing with two drills that lasted less than one year?
Were you trying to used them to power one of your bicycles and convert
it into an eBike?  It's possible to do that, but the results are not
very good:

If it was less than 1 year, the drill was probably covered by a
warranty.  Were you able to get you money back and buy something more
appropriate?

Incidentally, I've been spending too much time watching YouTube videos
on repairing power tools:

If you're considering repairing the two drills you destroyed, watching
some of these videos should be useful.  However, there's one problem.
The author is in Ireland and speaks with a very thick accent.
Sub-titles (captions) are a big help.
