Amazing to see the spare brushes and great to see the good condition of commutator. You're getting a good collection now. Have a good day and best of luck.
I recently inherited this very same drill . The Milwaukee holeshooter drill. My mother in-law was gonna toss two of them out I insisted on taking them and noticed they appeared to be in working condition the only thing I could see wrong was the insolation on the cords were cracked. Your video was of great help. Thanks
E replacement parts sells the actual cord that comes off just like he showed in the video I have one myself I did nothing a bit of cracking on the on the cord right where you lock twist it on at the bottom of the strain relief I took small piece of gorilla black duct tape I might just take some JB weld it is playing a little dab over there and should be good to go once it cures other that this old monster keeps going
@@bluemantom77 I did order a replacement from replacement parts they said it's on backorder. Thanks for the tip I downloaded their app . It has proven very valuable. Keep up your great work Brother..
I was just given this drill 5.5 amps for free from my dads friend and I love it, so much power it mixes my spackle mud so good. Also love how the electrical cord is quick remove.
Thanks for the very informative video! I had no idea my Magnum Holeshooter came with spare brushes inside the housing! Bought this magnificent tool brand new about 38 years ago. It has seen a lot of use over the years and suddenly quit working yesterday.
I have the 650rpm model, which due to gear ratio i believe is the most powerful one they made. I especially liked the cord system, for one reason being that taking it off made the drill more compact and didn't hurt the cord, which was typical for contractors tools. The cord also came in a 25' long version. I have the variable speed angle grinder from that time (20yrs ago) and it too has a removable cord set, but different connectors because it was only two pole. Really like the magnum for running hole saws thumb, or just general usage 👍
i have the magnum 0299-20, having growling issue,low hours ,brushes good,tried to troubleshoot but,no luck,spins but seems shorted,and sparky, seeing carbon tracks on comutator,keeping for spare parts now
I have Dad's 1\2 inch Hole Shooter with "gooseneck". We called it a 90 degree jack. It was a knuckle cracker. Got a Magnum in the 90's, going to put the 90 on it. Fyi, the 1950s kit included a collar type handle fitting the jack collar for use when the jack wasn't being used. Still have that too.
No doubt an iconic drill, IMO, and not without some quirky characteristics, as you pointed out. They didn’t slap on that old warning sticker about rotational torque, for nothing! 😳 I own this drill, and My only negatives would be the fiddly lock on switch, and the Fwd/Rev switch. I rarely use the lock on switch, so it becomes a moot point. My trigger still works alright, but I have heard of them going out, so I too will be looking forward to your tear down. I have to add that in recent videos, you seem “pressured “ to cut your videos short? Maybe due to viewers comments, I don’t know, but it leads to a rushed feeling, and some choppy editing at times. I have always enjoyed your videos and the detail and observations you convey so well. That is what attracted my attention to your channel, and why I subscribed. I realize many others view your videos. I think you should give yourself some time, and not feel pressured to cut them short, or whatever. Just my two cents, and only meant in a positive way. Big thumbs up, as always. And stay safe and Healthy! 👍🇺🇸😁
I had the same drill without the detachable cord. When I replaced it they added that detachable cord. I wasn’t happy about the cord , it’s easy enough to replace a cord without doing that. I it still my favorite drill.
Magnum Holeshooters first appeared in the early to mid 80s. One important fact often overlooked is that these drills had double gear reduction in contrast to most out there which had triple gear reduction. The two evident areas for improvement in these drills are the speed lock button and a longer handle grip to balance out your grip on the tool. But none of these are deal breakers IMHO.
I'm in the market for a good corded drill because cordless drills have the worst runout, and I'm tired of drilling oblong holes. I'm considering Milwaukee, Sioux, and Black and Decker Industrial. Am I missing any really good brands with minimal chuck runout, and variable speed? What's the best of the best?
I have the same one since the early 90's, mixed hundreds of buckets of mud and have never serviced it. Thing will break your wrist if you aren't careful. Didn't know it has spare brushes lol, never needed to replace them.
I'VE had this since the 90's looked this up cause I'm having a garage sale july 16 rarely ever used it all my Milwaukee drill cords got chewed up using Ridged cordless now but love my old Milwaukee high speed drill
I have the hammer drill version of this. I believe it's the same from the start of the red housing back down to the power cord. It's a 5370-1 and I think the switch is bad. It began only working intermittently and after a while crapped out altogether. I was hoping to see a switch replacement. I guess I could take it to Milwaukee for repairs if they still do that.
Mine is a bit of time capsule looks new. I bought mine in 1998 (receipt still in the metal case with the extra chuck key I though I’d need) it’s had about 25 years of extremely light homeowner use. I use my cordless for everything. Should have bought the gooseneck lol
Just why do you call this drill "INFAMOUS" in the title? It can't be bad enough to refer to it as being infamous. I own three of them and feel that it is one of the best tools ever made.....Charlse Manson was infamous. Please explain.
One of the greatest power tools ever made. Hall of fame.

Brother..

I own this drill and the rare 90 degree separate attachment . Without question the thing has torque.
Awesome..waiting for the teardown :-) I have had one of these for years and it's a beast
This is a great vid! I was comparing this Milwaukee with my B&D DR340 as you talked. Very helpful. Glad to learn about the internal parts. Ty.
Thanks for the very informative video! I had no idea my Magnum Holeshooter came with spare brushes inside the housing! Bought this magnificent tool brand new about 38 years ago. It has seen a lot of use over the years and suddenly quit working yesterday.
I cleaned the armature and installed the new brushes and I'm back in business! Thanks so much
That's a long time to get good service out of a tool. You've definitely put it to work!

This was my first drill, still have it and use it on occasion
Do you have the bolt thread size for the side handle?

double thumbs up!
I just got one of these (5.4 amp) in a basket of goodies.... Super excited to try it out, probably the best deal I have gotten on tools next to free

not worth the money to fix
Home depot still has them not sure in store or online I know it's a type 7 now

Hello, do by any chance have a switch for 0234-1 Thanks for Reply
Hi, how do by pass the switch on the drill motor
I just bought one of these beasts with a keyless chuck and a drill bit absolutely stuck in it. Can anyone help me?
I am doing maintenence on 3 this morning. Wooden boat yard
i can trust a reviewer who has a favorite drilling block. 5:50
I loved that part
Iconic!
this isnt your favourite milwaukee drill? im interested in which one it is now
1675, 1854, 1107, 0101, etc
This tool scares me more than an 80s hole hawg with a self feeding bit in low gear.
a real drill
Anyone try to drill through concrete with it?
without issue my friend
i have a similar one with keyless chuck. i can't stand cordless drills. im sure there are good ones but nothing beats an electric drill.
