Thanks for this video. My drill failed today, and I swapped the brushes, and opened the trigger switch easily after seeing you do it. Determined that the switch was bad; one’s on order.Probably saved an otherwise strong drill for about $20, and a few minutes time.
Using this video to work on a Milwaukee Magnum hammer drill. Exact same body as this one just different gear box at the end of the drill. Nabbed it up for 30 bucks and other than replacing a switch the thing will never die. 40 year old drill too. Thanks for the video. Came in handy.
Great video, but I believe an option for chuck removal that will prove more fruitful for badly stuck chucks is one where you still use the wrench (except better engaged as this example was already slipping off when the video started) and an allen inserted in the chuck then a heavier impact rather than a large ratchet or breaker. I put my drill in the vice (with rubber cushioning inserts) and let the wrench bottom on the vice jaw and drove the chuck off with my Harbor Freight Bauer electric (120v) impact with a large allen bit connecting the chuck to the impact. The wrench was well engaged and didn't slip off an the impact operation was nice and smooth and aligned so there was no damage to the drill. I should note that I initially failed with using only my cordless impact as it just didn't have enough torque.
I have a 6767 screw shooter that I have used to drywall about 30 basements and screw down dozens of new decks. A new set of brushes is all it's ever needed. I bought it in 95 and it's still tough as nails. There's a few on Ebay that need some TLC and a good teardown for a simple, tough tool
Hey Catus! I just bought a replacement spindle for my 0234-1 drill, and it appears that to get the spindle out, I need to remove the spindle gear attached to it. However, there is a Woodruff key keeping the gear in place, and I don't know how to get it off. Any suggestions from the Milwaukee wizard?
I got one today from a retired electrician Carpenter and it works fine I just had to add some WD-40 work it into the chuck to make it run smoothly also added a little tool oil to help keep it running smooth it's good enough for what I needed for
Take a angle iron that the thickness just fits between the chuck and drill gear body. Drill two holes in each that will fit your large bench vice. This will hold the hex nut securely and give you a third hand to make the job easier. Chuck will come off even if it is rusty or super tight. Worked for me dozen of times. Still great drill motor.
Hi again, in your previous video I asked if you had a switch for the 0234-1, my drill does NOT have the variable extra circuit, my variable speed must work with in the switch. do u have a spare . again thanks for reply
This is probably the best drill that Milwaukee ever made. Also know for breaking operator wrist joint. How do I know, my friend at work can attest to a broken joint. Bummer.
Just yesterday I saved one of these exact drills from the dump! Switch, variable speed, reverse all work, but filthy dirty. It'll be fun to actually take this for a spin. Always amazed at your knowledge of the tiniest parts.
This was a great video. I have this 0234 drill with variable speed, and it works great other than the reverse doesnt work. Do you think i need a new switch? Best regards💯🇺🇲
Great video. It is always a mystery to me wondering what's going on inside a Milwaukee tool. BTW.. for future reference - to say you lied is an expression used when you truly meant to deceive someone. However, in this case--you "misspoke" Keep up the great videos thank you!
I find the SCR goes bad and you lose variable, when fully depressed it will be at 100% via the switch and not the damaged SCR. But certainly a bad pot can look the same.
Wow! HF sponsered this video. Great job Catus Maximus. Long way in short time, man. I've been watching you for a few years now. Dogs are always clued in to cats, they are dangerous beasts! Edit: if they offer you a job making their tools better take it! You have a great grasp on that and HF needs better tools.
That video was not sponsored there may have just been a random Harbor Freight ads shown before the video. I have never had a sponsored video on my channel I have received some free tools from Osaka and a couple free sofirn flashlights that's all I've ever got

I always learn something from watching my friend Catus' videos!! Great tip on storing drills.
Glad to help

Maybe use a sander or disk grinder to slowly thin down the head on an el cheapo wrench?

Very helpful vid. Too many pieces for me to take apart; I won't be trouble-shooting my drill (just buy another one). Great review. Ty. Keep'em coming!

Phew dropped mine at work n the brushes fell out took it apart put em back together n it works. Thank god 😆😆
looks a lot like my 1/2" with keyless chuck. but condition is way way better. it looks only lightly used.

You should pick up an 0234-75 anniversary edition.
get a wal mart wrench and grind it flat
No need to mourn that junk New Britain wrench.
That drill probably could have mixed paint for you for 10 years. LOL.
Great video.
I would have bought that from you. Next time you recycle a drill don't tell me. I wont get hurt by what i don't know.

Keep up the good work. Your video also had an HF add in the middle of playing it. Not so random as we think, I am afraid.
Indeed so, the result of uploading way too many Harbor Freight tool videos I'm sure
