Milwaukee - Not really build to last. Longest lasting tools are corded Bosch and Makita Tools. Very well designed and well made and repairable too. They take serious abuse before failing, never seen a brand last so long with daily use. Problem with Milwaukee is they are all made in china, cheap components, cheap bearings. They also haven't figured some tools out like Bosch or Makita demolition hammers or hammer drills. The Bosch or Makita will last longer and work better. Also Milwaukee really doesn't like to sell you spare parts, they often group parts into assemblies that make the repair not economically viable. Cordless tools are always more prone to failure due to more electronics and the brushed cordless tools always fail first because either someone will burn the motor out or the brushes wear away, its easier to cook a brushed motor than a brushless one so I always get the brushless tool.
Just found this channel! I like what you do! Subbed right away..
Thanks. I try to keep the videos short, focused, and hopefully useful.
What do you suppose was actually wrong with it? Bound up bearing in the motor?
I think some dirt/dust may have gotten between the brushes and the armature.

Thanks for the info!
