Milwaukee nut gun won't run. Not worth fixing milwaukee tools. This shows why.

Milwaukee group to many parts together, meaning the on part fails, replacements can cost an excessive amount.
When you take away the parts that need to be replaced on this gun, there is not much of the gun left.
You can see why it's cheaper to simply buy a new one.

The US should introduce laws across the board that repairability should be built into every tool as should the rest of the World. Crazy that these things cost so much only to go into a landfill a few years later. Apple seem to have lead the way with this non-fixable throwaway society. Right to Repair is fairly big in the US at the moment, partly lead by KZbinr Louis Rossmann. This throwaway game is very bad for the environment.

[@misteruy4933]

@manuelhung7571 But Germany also! In my opinion there has to be a law that every Power Tool company has to provide spare parts for at least 20 years after ending the production of a Powertool model.

[@kimchee94112]

New cars even worse, a $40 broken plastic part could cost $2,000 or more to replace consider all the other parts needed to be removed to to get access to it.

[@tysonbovis3141]

A couple tools here and there is nothing compared to literally every other thing that gets used and thrown away in the world.

[@efektmurowany]

Milwaukee must be the best, even in % of unfixable tools category 😅😅

Just fixed the switch on my forty year old Makita circular saw. Made in Canada. Entire switch was rebuild able. One of the contacts had arcing slag some light sanding and it's good to go

[@stauker.1960]

So what I'm taking away from this video, is that even power tools are becoming a consumable. Wow

Yes, but milwaukee is by far the biggest offender

At lease Milwaukee parts available, Lowe's power Kobalt tools don't have parts even under the useless warranty like my Kobalt 60 gal compressor, 80V Kobalt chainsaw and probably the whole line of major Kobalt tools. You could get your money back under warranty but no parts available even for purchase, meaning out of luck after warranty.

[@dirkdingle7926]

Mines just died on me and shock horror just out of warranty went with Milwaukee as snap on was crap got loads of Milwaukee gear and it all seems to fail after the warranty runs out 🤔 have about 3k in them never buying them again going back to air

Question for Milwaukee specialists: I have a Milwaukee M18 FMTIW2F12 that has an interesting bug. When I press the switch, the machine spins and diode number 3 (third gear) lights up for a long time. Only when the diode turns off is it possible to change the direction of rotation and start again. In addition, the maximum speed (diode number 3) cannot be changed. In order for it to work at all and not to wait for diode number 3 to go out, I remove and put back the battery. That means to change the wheels on a car that has 5 screws, I have to remove and put back the battery 10 times. Once I press the switch, I must not stop until the job is done, otherwise there will be a long pause or re-inserting and removing the battery. Impact wrench M18 FMTIW2F12 with 881 Nm loosening torque and 745 Nm torque Extremely compact design with a length of only 152 mm. Which I found in the trash (500 $) that I want to fix... ................. Eureka! I repaired my impact wrench today. The error was in the brown main switch. To make it even more fun, I found the machine and the spare part in the trash. Maybe my experience will help someone who has similar problems? Greetings from Switzerland

[@deandohertygreaser]

useful tip, Yes, this is a common problem with the milwaukee tools. I see if quite often. sadly it is a sign that the tool is about to totally fail. The only to repair is with parts from a donner machine. as Milwaukee do not supply these parts separately from the whole motor unit.

[@Popajaja]

@@deandohertygreaser "No, unfortunately you can only order the switch for the M18 xxx as a set. Depending on the serial number, this component is no longer available.""

I have a 1/2 impact gun.All modes for torque settings 1 2 3 4 are lit up and I can't make a selection when pressing the button.Gun works at times but not great as the impact only kicks in when it feels like it.Any solutions for that issue.

Hi, how are you doing man I follow your channel, do you know how to separate armature on bosch rh540m, I have a few to fix, but I can't separate them they are stuck, maybe you can help me, thank you so much

[@deandohertygreaser]

Undo the handle screws, undo the 4 screws holding the motor. Turn upside down and hold the hammer by the motor. Then use a rubber mallet to knock if the hammer section from the motor section.

Where can I find you as my Milwaukee 1/2 impact is only working one way and need some help. 🙏

A good electronic repair shop could troubleshoot the circuit and replace that mosfet.

Obvious that Milwaukee has turned to shite, but when exactly? TTI purchase? Later/earlier?

To be fair 3 Warranty and if using it every day it not too bad as gun itself body is less than 300 to buy

Bad logic mate, these things could last 10 years if they were built right and repairable.

What tools do you recommend the most

Team Teal, Makita is the way! : )

[@dougsaunders8109]

Dean is team Teal, does like Bosch too though as you can get the parts

[@ShainAndrews]

The one that gets the job done.

[@mar-tin702]

Just change the mosfet how hard can it be

[@catsnotcops_]

if you find out which mosfet it is. part numbers seem to have been removed. also it seems to be coated. so you have to remove the coating. all in all it will probably take way too long for a commercial repair shop, the cost is too high because it would cost too much time and therefore money, no one would pay for this repair... still the biggest problem is probably my first point. try to find out what mosfet they use...

[@bobsoft]

For those of us who know how to its worth it. For someone who doesn't know how to solder, or test components. its not economical to pay a tech to fix it for them.

[@AlexKall]

He mentioned why it's not worth it.

[@pth6060]

Cheap tools

[@battsy2911]

What was the point of the video?

[@deandohertygreaser]

The videos are bout tool repairs. I repair tools for a living. Sadly some tools cannot be repaired. I was showing why this milwaukee can not be fixed. As one failed component in the stator means i have to replace half the tool if if where to fix it. Cannt simply show all the repairs. Some time showing failures and non repairs can give a better understanding as to what each brand is about.

[@stauker.1960]

​@@deandohertygreaser so does that leave Makita, Hilti, and Bosch?

[@callumsutherland8750]

​@@deandohertygreaser I really think milwauke should do what makita did and make the parts detachable, not having everything soldered down and able to replace the stator without replacing everything

[@darrenairey5938]

That's unfortunate. I love my M12 ratchets and stubby/right angle 1/2" impacts! I do use Makita 18 volt impact drivers for renovations and boy those guns are so easy to take apart and fix! Most of the time not even needing parts just a good cleaning and servicing and it's back working again! Even the one my buddy dropped in the lake😅👍

[@stauker.1960]
