Restoration of Impact Driver - Milwaukee M18-2753

In this video, I fixed the speed selection button failure and wobble of the chuck on this Driver.

[@johannlourens6183]

Drill- Packedge in typical box, came with a tool bag (added bonus), two batteries, one charger, drill, and driver. Two words "plenty of Torque" kzbin.infoUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv well I guess that's three. Nice upgrade from current setup. Has belt clips, I don't think I will be using those. Driver and drill were bigger than what I expected but it is an upgrade from the current setup. For the money I would say that this is a great setup for Professionals and DIY/Weekend warriors.

Very neat idea to re-create the rubber bushing for the nose of the tool!

[@erso3302]

I'm laughing at the image of children being rushed into their homes, mother's hands covering their ears from the constant volley of obscenities, as I try to do what this man does, with ease.

[@uahoe]

I just pulled one of these out of an old tool box. It had been sitting outside for probably 5 plus years. I bought a new battery and after fiddling for about 5 mins, the drill works like it did on day 1. Best purchase I've ever made

[@Pfirtzer]

Thank God no horrible annoying music in your clip, a joy to watch. Most people have the tendency to have noisy scratchy music.

[@jrjulien5016]

I have the same driver used it for 7 years now daily service as a work tool. I even have a newer one and prefer the feel of the older one. Not an issue so far. Also the drill from the same combo kit is on its third chuck, drill still works perfect

[@yohanathandowns9057]

Been abusing mine for 6 years. My brother bought the new kit and I like the feel of the second gen better. Helps that it's worn to my hand too. I hate the feel of new tool grips

[@Acelele320]

Milwaukee chuks suck, get a Röhm one and you will never need to replace it. Röhm chucks simply lasts forever.

[@3000gtalex]

My drill from this set is still going as well! The impact died two months ago 😢

[@codypendency9482]

Where do u get the chucks from ? I just retired my old brushed drill it works fine and has a lot of power just the chuck can’t grip anything

[@williamodom2698]

I’m very impressed with your restoration, well done

[@tabinagi]

Literally just bought this same impact over the weekend. I'd been hesitating and doing a little digging, but Home Depot had a great sale. You could get this impact and a High Output 3.0 Ah battery for $149 (pre-tax). All my tools got stolen a few months ago, so I've been slowly rebuilding my collection. My first major use of it was today and I already love it. I had the old M18 first gen brushed combo kit before this beast.

[@phillygrunt2154]

I know your pain. I’ve had 10k worth of Milwaulkee/husky/Purdy tools get stolen last year. Still trying to rebuild it

[@Apolloneek]

Fuck I came here to say I lost a whole 4s box filled with everything. Sk proto Williams Armstrong Milwaukee snap on Mac matco I still get angry as fuck because the cops didn't help and said unless I had serials or my name engraved in everything I was fucked

[@georgebrown8312]

Good job you did restoring the old impact driver. It works like new, and it looks much better than before. Great work.

[@carlocruz4814]

It is not old at all, but it really was restored. There are people who don't have any care for their tools and that is the result. That driver must be no more than 4 years old

[@eroz84]

That impact looks less than a year old

[@viajodefusca1046]

Parabéns pela manutenção.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@garymucher4082]

Nice rebuild. I like rebuilding older power tools like that. But I am a DeWalt fan and therefore have rebuilt near about all my power tools. I buy them really cheap and repair any that needs replacement parts and than use them for years... Thumbs Up!

[@rickygervaissgyno4081]

May i ask you how you learn to work on tools like this

[@garymucher4082]

​@@rickygervaissgyno4081 If you are mechanically inclined, than you start be taking the tool apart. If you need a break down, the internet has most any tool break down if you enter the tool model number. A camera also helps as you disassemble. And usually the parts that are damaged are easy to spot. Bearings and brushes are most of the defective parts. Some times winding are and you can either buy replacement parts or rewind your own. Try it, you will enjoy it and have a working tool to use as well.

[@rickygervaissgyno4081]

@@garymucher4082 thank you for the advice sir

Dude what an amazing effort ! Loved the 3d printed molding of the front cone what an Idea !

Really enjoyed this! Super interesting, quite relaxing to have it while working on other things, without any annoying music or anything. Subbing 100%!

Well done, nice restoration 👍🏻

That tool is just getting started, you’re polishing all the patina off of it.

[@powertoolsrepair]

Very nice restoration 👍

Felicidades!, Tan sólo una palabra ¡GENIAL! Otra palabra: ¡ADMIRABLE! Me quedé con los ojos cuadrados, pero espero haber aprendido algo e intentaré imitarle en lo tocante a algunas herramientas deterioradas que tengo por ahí. Un saludo cordial. Congratulations!, Just one word GREAT! Another word: AWESOME! I was square-eyed, but I hope I've learned something and will try to emulate him when it comes to some rundown tools I have laying around. Sincerely.

It's amazing how he remembers where every part go..

[@michelecrown2426]

A lot of work to make the mold for the nose guard. Great outcome on the whole project.

[@CharlesLies]

Thought so too, i guess i would have bought the nose guard new if available.

[@ostadkaar4763]

very good repair

[@148.gforlife6]

I like this video! Excellent educational video.

[@ARDYKRIS]

Nice restoration video....good job,friend....🤔🤗

[@Wreckz_Tea]

My hands dried all the way out just from watching him clean the parts. Making that rubber guard out of sealant was pretty damn thrifty

[@DrDirtNips]

I think some got in my eyes while he was spraying... and i can definitely taste it a little.

[@evonnie451]

I love the fact he works with gloves!!! PPE!!! My brother!

[@eldoctorramon]

What was that liquid and powder you used for cleaning of the plastic chasis?

[@CaptainBreny]

White Tire Markers do a nice job of the Milwaukee and FUEL logo's! i Use Uni-Paint PX30

Nice antique impact driver.

[@DrMrSmooth]

Nice video mate. Keep going . 👌

[@Mikunas]

What special spray did you use to clean metal parts from oil?

[@jameslovick-earle3119]

What’s the white powder used to clean the casing for the drill?

[@clinttaylor7786]

Am I right thinking you rewatch the tear down so you know exactly how everything went together, or like what is your process there for ensuring things go back together correct? Cheers

[@skalewilly]

What a great job !!!!!

[@Kondekka]

That has seen some serious use!

[@sypernova6969]

I did something very similar with windshield urethane: I molded a rubber bushing for an old car; I used Vaseline as the release agent; worked very well. otherwise, exactly the same process. 🙂

[@atnstn]

This is medicinally satisfying.

[@riverbrown8935]

What brand is the drill he used to take apart the impact

[@Ryderss]

I love this impact driver

[@Chancho1987]

Mean video bro 😎 wish I could send you all my tools just for a routine service but you’re probably in America 😂 ✌️ much love from NZ

[@Ibonic]

Awesome restoration, the only gripe I had was using the wrong sized Phillips head for the screws and stripping the t total crap out of them. 🤣

[@jamesalsup9135]

Excellent!

Good job!

Honestly you're really making that Makita screwdriver look awesome I think that's in the cutest screwdriver whatever the hell you're used to take apart the tools

[@christophermalczak7687]

Good job 👌👍

[@aliwooz913]

the plastic washer looking thing under the forward reverse shuttle. is it possible to buy that anywhere? mine broke off my M18 3/8th impact

[@marcosrodrigues9415]

Chique show 👍👍....!!!

[@rodrigocorado6885]

friend I would like to ask for your help I am trying to maintain an impact gun like the one in your video but I cannot turn the cover that you turn at minute 2.33 that part is reverse threaded or normal threaded.

[@paulteran6924]

I have serviced my hyper tough tools and my dewalt tools and I got the service spills to work for me and collected them back on the tools

[@martingranger4735]

I think this video shows what you can do rather than what you would do, in the real world

[@junixsk8]

What's that powder you used on the body?

[@Midnight-tornado86]

Hi where do you purchase the parts please I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find any that are reasonable price thanks

[@paulgill9989]

That was some effort to make a readily available $3 part!

[@ripd97]

Good job but you should have replaced the rubber top like you replaced the worn-out part. Also, it would have looked nice to paint the letters white.

[@lluunitic]

At 10:01 what did you use to clean that part of corrosion?? It looked line it just came of but also looks like paint

[@SteveNeighbor]

It looks like a sand blaster or blasting cabinet. Fantastic tools for restoration!

[@jamesfield5346]

Is the insulation liquid basically liquid electrical tape?

[@someguyonline377]

lost art for sure! Nice vid

[@Jesselovespinball]

Love the 3d printed mold idea . Love your ingenuity. But if I’m being honest , I think all the effort wasn’t worth the reward . Just the time spent alone on making the mold , the cost of the sealant , 3d filament , sand paper etc . Probably could have gotten a replacement for cheaper . But I really appreciate you going out of your way to not spend the money . Well done sir 👍

[@aidan-8100]

I’ve done something similar with 3d prints for polyurethane bushings for cars it works quite well

[@yewsengcheong1637]

That’s assuming he buys those things just for this. Can’t cost the same as a new one then.

[@samuelintergalactic4820]

What fixed the loose chuck ?

[@arturlend2297]

Brawo 👍😎

[@konsument681]

Przetłumacz to słowo ,jak to się wymawia " brawo "?

[@harisjaved1379]

I have a question. This restoration probably cost’s more than the new tool. Is there a reason why the owner just didn’t buy a new tool vs restoring? I use a lot of these Milwaukee tools for car and home building but if they break which is rare I just buy a new one vs getting it fixed. Tool downtime is lost revenue so buying one is quicker and cheaper than repairing. What are your thoughts?

[@mikegraham7078]

I do both. I buy a new one but keep the old one around for emergencies. Sometimes it's nice to have several impact drivers with different bits in them to save you from swapping. I find it worthwhile. As a general statement the new ones are better than the old ones so I keep buying new.

[@yewsengcheong1637]

Maybe he is a hobbyist who loves the process and has the time and interest to do it. Or maybe he doesn’t want stuff to go to landfill or maybe he wants to teach himself something.

[@SteveNeighbor]

Of course the time, skill and effort that went into this (or most any) restoration is far more than the $129 and a trip to Home Depot it would take to replace. (In the USA and Canada, at least.) Economics of scale and automation have guaranteed that. The rubber guard could easily have taken an entire day - or more - to reproduce a $3 part. Not to mention the entire shop full of tools. Everyone is so focused these days on the idea that time is priceless, which justifies staggeringly high costs and waste of just about everything else. It's exciting to have new things all the time. But has anyone noticed that so much of it is mass-produced crap? Even the "nice things" that are sold as higher quality, more features, or "exclusive luxury" are really just designed and made to fit a price point. And when they break or just go out of style we toss them. What happened to craftsmanship? I live in a 100+ year old house that has most of it's "original parts." It was well-built because people valued things that were built well back then. Meanwhile, few of the houses being built today will be around that long. They are profitable for everyone involved because they go up quickly and on schedule, not built well. That seems irrelevant since more than a few will be "thrown away" to build something bigger, newer and with this year's style. And the cinder block, plastic pipes, spray foam and "luxury" vinyl flooring simply will not last for a hundred years. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is all over KZbin. Literally miles of plastic things we threw away to get new ones. And it is not the only one floating out there. The triple golf course near me is actually built on a huge garbage dump. The hill I learned to ski on - a landfill that got full. What happens when another three billion people can afford to "just get a new one" instead of fixing what they have?

[@dviliofficial7949]

I have nothing against the restoration, he did a good job but I feel some areas weren't thought through very well for instance the rubber guard could have just been bought and using a stiff brush on the stickers 👀 it is an old driver the stickers are bound to be not brand new but cleaning it like that will make it more prone to pulling off or just peeling apart. also the screw driver on the rubber grip OMG I know it's a restoration but you should be restoring it not destroying it, many other areas in this video where they were not careful with the final product, maybe they rushed it but either way for a process that took this long I think they could of done a neater job

[@R_Forde]

motor oil or cooking oil either have the same effect.

Good Job! I have Milwaukee tools and I send them in for repair. Why did you choose this option? Anyways it looks great and I definitely wouldn’t have the patience to do what you did.

[@alex_8025]

This isnt even an old model its fairly new. My daily use milwaukee impact still has the manual speed slider switch so what did the owner do to this impact? Drag it behind his truck for a week?

[@cohenhilton2139]

I understand it’s not the point but Milwaukee has a great warranty. 5 year warranty from date of purchase or if you don’t have the receipt it’s the manufacture date.
