The issue is that you have to have professional level soldering skills to desolder the blue wires and resolder larger wire to the brush holders. So just don't go there. The brush holders are flimsy to say the best about them. You can shorten the blue wires to 1.5 inches and solder number 10 or larger to the shortened blue wire. First has had way to many drill motors get broken by trying to unsolder and resolder larger wire to the brush holders.
