milwaukee 2860 pin detent info H61A

I haven't seen a video on removing the pin detent from a milwaukee or anyone showing the size of the punch needed to remove the pin. At the end of this video I took some measurements just in case someone out there wanted to know what size is the pin detent maybe swap it out for a Ryobi or Dewalt like i was thinking of doing.

the problem with the pin detent is the shoulder that is straight up that's what catches if you would have taken and filed off that straight vertical shoulder on the sides of the pin detent and made it round the same profile as the top. Don't cut any off the top just make it a round profile all the way and it'll come right off. And it will still hold a socket tightly.

I just installed 3" impact extension from harbor freight kit (item#67066 ) instead of messing with the pin, which also allows slight angle socket usage if required and has ball on the end that lets sockets come off easier. When I need crazy socket hold power or extension gets in the way I'll take it off and deal with pressing the pin for those few instances.

Alex S. Awesome I ended up just replacing the anvil for a friction ring anvil for $18.50

Thanks for taking the time to post this.
My 2860-20 is driving me crazy with the detent pin hanging up. Guess I'll go with option 2.
Trying to get change sockets under the car while doing suspension work was a PITA.
Ignore the negative response posts!

I ended up swapping the anvil for a friction ring.

[@RzVids]

Fuck the ring. The pin last longer.

[@FredrickII]

Live and learn.

[@sblspawn3004]

Same thing with my new M12 stubby! Kind of disappointed with Milwaukee! :( My Dewalt with Pin detent is way better!

[@peterparker8861]

My have the same issues

[@stealthflythecoop6819]

I just changed the anvil for a friction ring you can check out my video if you like to do it yourself.

[@TurboTurdBurglar]

I have the same tool and my sockets come off easy I have the 2860 to

[@stealthflythecoop6819]

When I didn't align the pin the sockets would always come off when using the tool. But is alright now because I switched the anvil to friction ring no more problems

[@ramtrucks721]

You should not be around any tools...

[@stealthflythecoop6819]

Funny I know but I fixed it it was simple and also changed my anvil to the friction ring anvil... I learned a lot from this.i currently have 2 videos on how I swapped my anvil just in case anyone wants to swap it without buying a whole different tool.

[@IvanRossS]

Lol Are you even old enough to mess with these tools, like why do you even need it?....

[@stealthflythecoop6819]

I'm one of the first to mod the Midtorque, and repair. This video what just my progress on trying to grind the pin detent to match the Ryobi P261 but I failed and took too much. FYI I use it on engine builds, removing wheels,wheel stud replacement,crank pulley control arms,brakes,seats. etc....anvil swap video here check it out th-cam.com/video/bh3QThbo4OY/w-d-xo.html
