Milwaukee Tools

my M12 hammer drill on the drill lowest setting will stall the motor if I hold the chuck, or driving something with very little resistance. Have you tried screw into soft wood on a lower speed, higher clutch setting? The brushless motor and the Milwaukee electrical limits act differently than other tool manufacturers to protect the batteries from over draw and then failure… in my understanding of them. That’s why they flash the OL or battery lights to let you know it’s too high a current draw.

 

It’s not driving them in? So just ran 3 in. On 2 on either high or low speed it ran it in fine but wouldn’t sink the head, on 4 it ran it all the way in no problem. I don’t usually use it for driving screws though.

 

No, as in its overdriving them. I hardly ever do woodworking though, so it might just take me a while to get used to the weird electronic "clutch" vs the style that clicks on my old Craftsman

 

Oh. I’ve never used it for that type of thing. I use my impact driver for running screws in.

 

You could take it in and have them see if something is broken, you might be out the tool for a week or two.

 

Anyone looking for an M12 charger? Just pay shipping.

 

Just need to take out the ratchet and toss in some batteries, but my 3rd and final complete "4Runner tool set" is done.

Can do everything from maintenance to fixing shit -





My "Tacoma tool set" will now live in the closet next to my old tool set

 

F****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of my relatively new 8ah XC batteries shit the bed. Push the 'Check' button, nothing. Put in on the charge and it flashes red/green. Measures 20v across the battery terminals, but seems for all intents and purposes, dead.

XC batteries have a 3 year warranty IIRC.

 

Ohhh... thought it was only two. Must check... I think I'm inside three.

 

Gotta say, not super impressed with the 3/8 to 1/4 adapter that came with the ratchet set.... maybe I'm just picky?

 

But where are the Cheez-Its??

 

Which set?

 

If memory serves when you buy one of the 3/8 ratchets it includes a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter.

 

I am tempted. Been looking for a deal on the m18 fuel drill and impact kit. At $266 it’s hard to say no.

Good deal if you return the extra.

 

Armstrong Battery....rarely fails.

 

Those should have a 3 year warranty and from what I hear the warranty process is pretty painless. I would hit up their website and figure out how to submit a claim.

And I should probably read all the comments before telling you something you already figured out!
