    The fact that Milwaukee addressed this trigger control issue is the reason why I buy their products. They don't just put a product on the shelf and forget about it, they constantly listen to their consumer base to see what they can do better. Also, the reason why this is packed to the gills with electronics is for a few reasons, firstly to reducpe likelihood of tool damage while being misused by the operator, secondly for the brushless motor needing to know the position of the rotor so it can pulse the electromagnets at the proper time.

    This video was so interesting, I like the way you analyzed the product so well. Thanks for sharing.

    Sorry you got a dud right out of the box. Sadly that happens time to time from every manufacture. I've had the Milwalkee 2763 for a couple years, it's been dropped many times, left out in the rain, fell in some deep snow and it still works great.

    Had to send mine in for service for a similar issue, had my tool back in 4 days. Excellent customer service.

      Definitely a design flaw for this model. Did they repair it or did they send you a totally different new one? The model numbers on the label are the same but they are totally different inside.

    When you showed the back of the tool I saw that the housing screws had been loosened up. When this is done then the motor rotor is no longer in line and so the motor is locked up - the rotor can not spin.

    Why would you take it apart. It has a 5 year warranty......and I'll bet wherever you bought it would take it back within 30 days. Weird......

    I soldered in a 3/4 gun trigger assembly into a 1/2 impact gun exactly like the one in the video , I'm a heavy diesel mechanic Aprentice not a sparky by any means , but interested in everything , the boxes both fit , same amount of wires and same color insulated wire sleeves , so matched them all up soldered away , and it came up with the 6 flashing lights like in this video , was hoping for some insight

    Get the Kobalt 24v brushless version instead...doesn't have as many bells and whistles, but the warranty's better and the quality is comparable (or better, given this video!)

    • @vuaeco
      @vuaeco  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was thinking about that since I already have other 24V tools.

      vuaeco I own the entire platform. It's the only one I haven't really put through its paces yet but the build quality is excellent. It's a single-speed but it's well-designed.

    Hi sir I live in VN i have 1 hammer drill MIlwaukee M18 2702 after 2 weeks to work it is smoke and death, when i press the trigger button and the LEDs are good but it is dont work i was check soldered it is good, please hepl me, because it is expensive. How to Fix it is work again
    I buy on ebay, i cant go to usa take it back under warrenty

    • @vuaeco
      @vuaeco  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      If the LEDs are on but motor doesn't run then it's probably dead. It has complicated motor controller board and if that's fried, the drill is useless. There's usually another board underneath at the base. You don't see it because it is submerged inside a black silicone resin. Check on that one. At least the M18 2763 has one board like that at the base.

    I want to start Milwaukee makes bad-ass tools I would be grateful if they had my tool back in 2 weeks not caring how they fix it . I've had One tool replaced by them And they did a spot on job And if you're worried about it going out of warranty after 5 years They probably did not want you as a customer anyways Sometimes stuff breaks and you get new stuff that's better that's how these tools work

      Hey guys.
      I had a friend take my drill apart.
      He noticed a lot of Dust build up inside.
      He Cleaned it up, plugged a battery in , then it went.
      Man I'm so happy I did not have to buy another.
      Give it a go guys - you have nothing to lose

    The defective one's inside looks very much like Ridgid Gen5X brushless drill.
    That has the same motor design, and fwd/rev switch was also triggered by separate switch on the small board. And... that failed in an year. (Was not mine, though)
    Recent brushless motors are, unlike brushed motors, everything comes as a package. You cannot just replace the motor. You have to buy the entire inside circuitry.
    That makes your own repair a lot harder...

      5 year warranty today Simply means you pay 5 Times the price that it cost them to make it last ONE Year ..
      PS
      A lot of Rich people dont worry about Warranty and just so long as it lasted a few years, they'll just but another .. and tell Everyome that they got a good run ...😢🤪
