It's not a pain to do it, it is the fact that Milwaukee did not explain how to remove it in the manual is what I have an issue with. I had the same problem when I bought it almost 2 years ago, always went with the corded because I did not feel like wasting time trying to remove the bit. This works, thanks. Milwaukee should compensate you or the very least personally thank you.
Not to be "that guy" but it isn't mentioned in the manual because if you buy this tool you're expected to know how to use it. I get that not everyone does, but if that's the case get an air angle grinder
@@gojiman1649If you can get that not everyone already knows how to use a tool before buying it, why can't you agree that the instruction manual is the best place to explain it? There aren't many features in this tool, and a single page with some basic IKEA-style illustrations would go a long way. They don't need to teach you how to grind down welds or cut off plastic flashing, sure, but what is the harm in writing a couple of sentences about a feature that clearly isn't obvious to everyone?
I had a lot of old pipes and rebar to cut up and from what I read th-cam.com/users/postUgkxPDBfLu68o58Aw85O_J-zIFfjJARBhp-3 this would be the tool for the job. Since I had never used one, I watched a couple of youtube videos and I'm so glad I did. Some really good safety tips, which I followed, and this tool did a splendid job. One good thing to know is the weight of the tool puts just about the right amount of pressure on the metal I was cutting, so I didn't have to use a lot of pressure, which is more likely to jam the tool. It made fast work of my job.
Oh my gosh! You completely saved us! This is our second tool since we thought there was something very wrong with the first one and took it back and replaced it. Then when this one did the same thing we were mortified! Thank you soooo much for this video! We love Milwaukee tools and we were sad we might have to despise one, but nope! Thanks to you!
OHHHH MYYYYYYY GODDDDDDDDDD.. this whole time I’ve been having the worsttttt time getting bits out of this thing, now that I just learned that this I like my new favorite tool again, I used to HATE changing the bits in that thing LOL
Thank you so much have been taking bits out of this tool by smacking it with the wrench ever since I got it, at least a year now. Had no idea that's the way it's supposed to be done. Makes it so much easier, can't thank you enough.
Holy crap! You have saved me so much frustration. Thank you for posting this and taking time to explain it without trying to make us feel stupid for not knowing better. They don't explain it in the manual. It just says "to disassemble, use a rod to push the collet out of the nut."
I’m so glad I watched this. I just bought one and was going to take it back until I saw this. I actually like it. Almost works as a safety feature.! Thank you !
Hello! I also have a 2485 grinder and had problems getting a tool out of it. I watched your video and understood how to do it. I don’t understand English, but you showed everything clearly. Thank you very much!
This is actually a feature that a lot of CNC machine tools have. IMO it helps fine tune how much bit or accessory you want or need inserted in the tool.
Helped me figure it out finally after thinking I had wrong attachments. My collet was inside neck and I had to gently pull out with pliers the first time I used. Thx !!!
THANK YOU!! I just seen this video is 4 yes old and we are still out here struggling with this. I just finally pulled the trigger on this guy, first time using this on site and man did I ever feel dumb trying to pull my bit off. Went to a corner to watch your video 🤣🤣
OMG this is a life saver! Got this tool about a month ago & had a hellva time the collet. I knew it was an operator error - couldn't figure it out. Never seen or had a grinder with this release functionality / design. Thanks much!
@@Shoptoolreviews I understand now watching your video and I wish I watched it before I installed it in 2 pieces and not one !! So how do you fix this issue? When I loosen it the first time there is no second chance, the nut just continues to spin off completely leaving the accessory stuck in the collet. Please help me???
Based on the title, I first thought this video would discuss the "cut-out under load" problem. After watching this video, it quickly dawned on me this is another issue entirely. Had to laugh out loud, though, because this "mystery" is exactly how the collets on both of my Makita Die Grinders work (GD0800C and 810C low rpm). At least Makita states this in their manual. Milwaukee just needs to highlight this in their manual. Thanks for the laughs!
THOSE COLLETS ARE WONDERFUL and a PROFESSIONAL feature common to the glorious 5196 Milwaukee beloved of the welding industry. That would be why Milwaukee didn't explain it because they just assumed. I carry two open end wrenches on a small carabiner in my abrasive bucket. I subscribed because you deserve support for mentioning it. Once broken free if the shaft of your attachment sticks tapping it towards the tool will become second nature. I maintained a fleet of the 5196 and bought two for myself (they're so tough I buy 5196 used). Those collect kick ass and are much better than a chuck. Check the part number as it may match 5196 parts worth knowing if you get one. Now if only Milwaukee would offer a cordless 5196...
I'm glad you posted this. I haven't had to change mine yet because I mostly only use Rotoloc pads on the bit. But one day I will need to change it. Thanks.
Thanks for the explanation! I’ll share this with those I know that use this tool. It’s been a great tool but it’s been frustrating changing bits. This explanation is much appreciated!
When i got this i noticed it the first time i was putting on the 3m 2” quick attachment. Figured i just needed to lose it more and i did. I didnt think this was a big problem or a mystery.
It's probably because you used some thought-processing to think through it. I just throw my hands in the air and run around like a crazy man when these things happen. Seriously though, thanks for watching and thanks for the reply.
@@Shoptoolreviews I just bought one of these and immediately recognized that the collet is the same style as an ER collet that is very common for holding milling cutters. The collet in the air die grinder is more like what machinists call a 5C collet. Here's a link to Joe Pieczynski explaining collets. At about 11:00 he explains how ER collets work and why you MUST clip the collet into the nut. th-cam.com/video/7ENSGgeiOVI/w-d-xo.html
@@NendoCrescendo The collets in my die grinder are certainly based on the ER design but I don't believe they are a specific ER. They might be but there's nothing in the documentation.
I've had this sucker in vice so many times. Just tried this- keep turning and comes right out. It hangs up when threading the collet out and I thought it was out but you can keep going pass that point. Back to the top of my most useful tool list. Thanks a ton, I was going to order 2 more so I could keep tools on. Not now. Subscribed
Don't worry, you're not alone. Yeah, that second hard spot is where the collet is actually releasing. They've used this type of collets on routers for years. Glad it worked out for you.
I was literally ready to return this damn thing until I watched this video. Thanks for the info. I have been an Journeyman Electrician/Machine Repairman for almost 30 years and this little collet stumped me!!!! #feelinglikeajackass
The Milwaukee collet is actually a better design. Not unique to Milwaukee tools however. It's used in commercial NC tool holders for better grip and more importantly better concentricity to the tool spindle. The longer taper fingers don't let go even with taping cross ways (which is bad for precision spindles) so the positive extraction feature is needed. Sometimes faster is not better.
Correct, this is a great design; however, many people just don't know about it. Especially those that have used air grinders for decades, so they assume they know everything (me included). It's just a different design and we wanted to educate others out there. Thanks for watching.
Its the same collet used on routers its a safety thing. It keeps the bit from flying out if the collet comes into contact with something enough to break the initial torque of it loose.
Correct, they have been used on routers and in the woodworking world for years. It's just not something most of the die grinder users have seen until now. Thanks for watching and commenting.
This feature is not new it dates back to the wired rotary grinders which had the same collets. Freud has used it fro years on their routers. Great advice I am glad you made this video helpful for everyone
You are correct, it has been around for quite some time, but not many have landed in the small air die grinders. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching.
Thanks for posting this. I have been struggling with my die grinder for a while and just accepted that that’s how this tool is. I’m much more like to use this grinder now and not go strait to my pneumatic ones I have.
Great video, you probably saved me from myself by not getting so angry! Thank you. I just have one question. Where can I get the attachments-I see them on Amazon, but the reviews are really bad. I am looking for quality attachments. Thanks again!
Thx ! I just got mine this week but haven't used it but today being weekend planned on probably using it thx saving me a headache i probably most likely would of had! My friend at his shop this tool comes in so handy i wanted one!
It's made this way because the collet is on a shallower angle for more grip which makes it stick so it has to be self releasing . This design also requires much less torque when tightening to grip enough. Most people still crank it down too much anyway, it only takes a little.
Thanks I just bought this tool and I’m not much for reading instructions. So you definitely stopped me from beating on this at some point when I get to use it lmfao
Dude that’s exactly what happen with the Milwaukee Router too, I thought people knew that, but I guess not. And as been always like that, with that type of mechanism
Ok, I'm sure I'm going to repeat what 194 other people have said, but I will admit even at the risk of getting my man card pulled... I even read the directions and I'll be damned but Milwakee did not even mention this in the paperwork at all! Like others have said, I love this tool even more now that I can get the bit out to use a different one. Thanks for the video
My m12 die grinder keeps shutting off when I put it under any kind of load. Are you hearing other people experiencing this problem?.... At first I thought it was the battery but I tried several different fully charged batteries in it and it would do the same thing every time.
Ok but what about when the nut just comes off the entire piece? Then what. The nut itself is sitting above the collet, so its never below to pop it free. Right now I got a burr bit stuck in the tool and the collet and its refusing to come out, and the nut is already off completely (since the burr bit is tiny, the nut simply slides over), can't tighten it anymore to get the nut back on to pass the lip of the collet.
My issue is that I can’t fit any 1/4” burr in mine. Chose the straight die grinder over a Snap On air die grinder and I can’t fit a got damn 1/4” shaft burr in it.
The collets on Milwaukee's 5194 and 5196 (straight corded) die grinders are built the same way. It is a bit of a nuisance because you have to put the wrenches on twice, but it is not that big of an issue. I do not want to deal with the batteries when I have wall power nearby. Has anyone used a 12 V DC power supply to run one of these? Any issues? Would it be hard to wire up? Thanks for any information!
Here's a link to Joe Pieczynski explaining collets. At about 11:00 he explains how ER collets work and why you MUST clip the collet into the nut. th-cam.com/video/7ENSGgeiOVI/w-d-xo.html
Has any one managed to find the part number for the true 1/4 collet so I can replace my 6mm on my 90 degree die grinder so I can finally use all by accessories? All a 1/8 adaptor would be very helpful CHEERS
@@Jenuin well I gotta say I've been beatin the hell out of this thing using it on grinding metal,sanding off rust,cleaning car rims,and much more,and this thing is a beast. Strongly recommend it. It ain't gonna last more than 5 minutes unless u have a 6.0 or a 4.0 battery tho
I figured the collet out But the thing keeps shutting itself down to grind a little bit and it shuts off grade a little bit it shuts off what’s up with that
@@Shoptoolreviews Wow... I'll be damned! That was exactly my problem because the nut never got tight on the way off... plus it didn't screw on enough it seemed.😂 Thanks and that's why I'm subscribed to your channel! 🙂👍
I thought surely Milwaukee must have put this info in the manual, so I checked. Unbelievably, they failed to put the accessory removal procedure in the manual! All it says is: "Reverse the procedure when removing the accessory." I just got mine and its apparently the only one ever made with a floppy paddle lever. In other words, it flops a good 1/2" away from the power switch instead of staying in contact with it like every other one I've ever seen. I think maybe the roll pin is too small and not creating enough friction. I'll see if I have one slightly bigger in diameter to punch in there.
Was thinking about getting one, waiting for a 20 30 dollar sale i guess to justify my purchase lol, good to know about this, otherwise i'd be in the same group. Neat feature, i guess just not highlighted which can make for frustrations.
What about all the poor reviews on Milwaukee tool website stating the tool continuously shuts off and stops under the slightest of loads? There are hundreds of these complaints going back over two years and apparently Milwaukee hasn’t solved the problem because there are new complaints posted recently...!
This tool is not made for every job that a pneumatic die grinder does. Also, it's not for every user either. I try to cover this in my review of this tool. At the same time, we use this tool all the time in the shop. It's very useful, but it's for lighter work. Thanks for watching.

It's made this way because the collet is on a shallower angle for more grip which makes it stick so it has to be self releasing . This design also requires much less torque when tightening to grip enough. Most people still crank it down too much anyway, it only takes a little.
Thanks I just bought this tool and I’m not much for reading instructions. So you definitely stopped me from beating on this at some point when I get to use it lmfao

It is a bit of a nuisance because you have to put the wrenches on twice, but it is not that big of an issue. I do not want to deal with the batteries when I have wall power nearby. Has anyone used a 12 V DC power supply to run one of these? Any issues? Would it be hard to wire up? Thanks for any information!
I thought people knew that... loosen it up twice. It works great for me and never had a problem.
It seems that there are a lot of people that have no idea. Thanks for watching and commening.
Machine shop guys have no trouble with this. Just like an ER collet or Double-Angle Collet.
Correct, machine shop and woodworkers typically understand these, but many thousands of others do not. Thanks for watching.
Here's a link to Joe Pieczynski explaining collets. At about 11:00 he explains how ER collets work and why you MUST clip the collet into the nut.

Has any one managed to find the part number for the true 1/4 collet so I can replace my 6mm on my 90 degree die grinder so I can finally use all by accessories?
All a 1/8 adaptor would be very helpful
CHEERS
I just had a smooth shank to threaded adapter and mounted a 4 jaw keyless chuck on it. I like living dangerously hahaha
Good video, should help a lot of people
I planned on buying this and I love this video. I probably would've thrown it in the vice and destroyed it knowing me lmaoo. Thanks
Glad you watched this first. Thanks for the comment.
Diddo. Just bought mine.
@@Jenuin well I gotta say I've been beatin the hell out of this thing using it on grinding metal,sanding off rust,cleaning car rims,and much more,and this thing is a beast. Strongly recommend it. It ain't gonna last more than 5 minutes unless u have a 6.0 or a 4.0 battery tho
@@Ferkle871 damn. I’m a 2.0 level 🤔 hmm I will try to find a sale
@@Jenuin Amazon's always got some good deals on batteries
I figured the collet out But the thing keeps shutting itself down to grind a little bit and it shuts off grade a little bit it shuts off what’s up with that
Do you know what size spindles the collet can accept i know 6mm but can it also accept 10mm spindles?
looks like tg 100 milling collet just few times smaller. usefull video . thank you .
How do I adapt my M12 die grinders so they accept 1/4" shanks?
A 1/4 collet🤯
there is another problem IN UK we get 6mm and 8MM collets, most of shafted stuff is USA 1/4 thats 6.35mm only a little but a interferance fit
me too !very difficult to remove it
Is that a hook and loop arbor you have there? For sand paper
Yes, it is a hook & loop for sand paper and polishing pads.
@@Shoptoolreviews where are these purchased and use only 2in? Attachments
I believe that I found ours at our welding supply store. I don't recall which brand it is.
The nut on mine doesn't screw on that far with a buffing wheel installed 🤔
Take the accessory and the nut completely off, and the cone. The cone should snap and lock into the nut before installing on the tool.
@@Shoptoolreviews Wow... I'll be damned! That was exactly my problem because the nut never got tight on the way off... plus it didn't screw on enough it seemed.😂 Thanks and that's why I'm subscribed to your channel!
🙂👍
It’s basically using the bonnet to pop the collet out after it’s been loosened.
This tool singlehandedly separates the people who have used a router before vs the ones who haven't.
I thought surely Milwaukee must have put this info in the manual, so I checked. Unbelievably, they failed to put the accessory removal procedure in the manual! All it says is: "Reverse the procedure when removing the accessory."
I just got mine and its apparently the only one ever made with a floppy paddle lever. In other words, it flops a good 1/2" away from the power switch instead of staying in contact with it like every other one I've ever seen. I think maybe the roll pin is too small and not creating enough friction. I'll see if I have one slightly bigger in diameter to punch in there.
Was thinking about getting one, waiting for a 20 30 dollar sale i guess to justify my purchase lol, good to know about this, otherwise i'd be in the same group. Neat feature, i guess just not highlighted which can make for frustrations.
And like usual ...we threw the instructions on the trash ! . Thanks for the video , I would have been hammering that thing on frustration !
Glad to help. We understand. Thanks for watching.
I bought this tool several weeks ago and had no problem with the collate releasing. My only complaint is getting the damn battery out!
That's an odd issue. Most complaints on M12 batteries are that they break or fall out, not that they get stuck. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews mine is tight on my die grinder and my 3/8 ratchet
What about all the poor reviews on Milwaukee tool website stating the tool continuously shuts off and stops under the slightest of loads? There are hundreds of these complaints going back over two years and apparently Milwaukee hasn’t solved the problem because there are new complaints posted recently...!
This tool is not made for every job that a pneumatic die grinder does. Also, it's not for every user either. I try to cover this in my review of this tool. At the same time, we use this tool all the time in the shop. It's very useful, but it's for lighter work. Thanks for watching.
All you have to do is keep loosening it until you get to the second resistance then the bit will come out just fine...I love mine

@@HiThisIsMine video: 8 minutes
My comment: a sentence
I guess you're new to TH-cam where people basically summarize or recap the video in a comment on literally every single video. Dumbass
@@WideAwakeHuman - you might be on to something, why don’t we start a website where instead of making long boring pointless videos, we just write a sentence so people can go on with their lives. Then, you can go in the comments section and just write the same exact sentence… as if to take credit and be the all knowing one
@@HiThisIsMine even better idea would be for you to go do something useful with you're life that you may be good at... Because you're really not good at harassing random people on TH-cam.
@@WideAwakeHuman - 🤷🏽♂️ you seem quite harassed. But you’re right, I’ll get back to running my business and employees instead of harassing a Pill Pusher on TH-cam who leaves recaps of videos in the comments section.
Apparently there are a lot of die grinder users out there who have never operated a router. Router collets have worked that way forever.
No issues here, the damn thing works. Enough said.
What I do is not install the bit all the way bottomed out. When you wanna release it simply loosen the nut and tap the bit in and it comes right out.
Thanks 🙏🏽
I wonder if this process is explained in the instruction manual🤔....
Man all the milwaukee fans at work do t even know this and they think they know it all....well I got it now I knew something was wrong with the way I was doing it. Thanks
I don't mind that part. The fact that it overheats under light use in a few minutes is why I'm returning it.
If you block the air vents with your hand it will.
I wished milwaukee design a toolless collet. It’s a pain to use 2 spanner to open or close
The worst thing that I find with it, it stops working under load. And then it’s impossible to restart the tool almost
Yes, it will stop under load, but we've never had a problem restarting it. Using a 4.0 battery and larger definitely helps with the cutout. Thanks for watching.
Holy cow lol. Thank you man. Subscribed
Thanks for the sub! Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
