Dano123 Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 I just got a Milwaukee 2706 one key hammer drill and the first time I used it was to do a 1/2" hole in concrete. After one hole my bit is stuck. I tried everything short of a pipe wrench and I can't get it loose. I hand tightened it like normal and it's a round shaft Bosch bit.

Stercorarius Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Does the Chuck still spin without engaging so it just makes the same clicking sound as when you tighten it down? Or is it legit stuck stuck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Try a little wd-40, could be a concrete dust issue in the gearing Jimbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrk_indle84 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I had a 3/16 bit get stuck in my drill and ended up taking a hammer and tapping the end of the bit back toward drill and it worked.

Dano123 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 It will move a little but it won't loosen. It's a 12" bit and I only drilled about 4" deep so there is no dust on the drill. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano123 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 The drill still works fine, it's just the chuck. I had a buddy who is team yellow tell me a guy at work had this problem a few weeks ago on his job site with a Milwaukee. I blame him for jinxing me!

jrk_indle84 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Mine only did it the one time and sounds like doin the same your is. The chuck woukd move little but but then nothing. Never did figure out what cause it and hasn't done it since. Mine was with one of the Gen 1 fuel Hamer drill/driver Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 That's crazy.... Does it seem like the bit has pushed back all the way into the very back of the chuck and maybe wedged into whatever is holding the chuck to the drill...? I always make sure to keep my drill bits away from the very back of the chuck for fear of this happening, even if it is unfounded, just my own paranoia I guess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano123 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I will try to tap it in when I get off work. The bit doesn't appear to have moved, it will click 1 click when I move the chuck but it won't move any further. I tried holding it while in reverse and it just chews up my palm. This is the drill that I bought off my uncle when he wanted just the impact so in order to take it back to HD I will have to get the receipt from him next week when he returns from a business trip. On a side note the drill performed great running that hole. Much better than my brushed M18 hammer drill...

Dano123 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I also used the Fuel sawzall I got with this to cut the excess off the red head anchor I was installing and it worked great with a Bosch daredevil blade.

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk You don't need the receipt if you send it in with Milwaukee's eservice warranty, but if it's easier going to Home Depot, that sounds like a win. Can you put your experience with the process here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano123 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I sure will. I will try to get it out again myself first. I already sent Milwaukee an email so I will keep you posted. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dano123 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I got an email saying they will replace the drill and bit if I mail it to them with a provided shipping label via email.

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Yeah, tapatalk doesn't display links like that, same with instagram, it's really annoying. once you are on a computer/full web site view, it will show up. You can hit the menu button while in tapatalk and choose web view and it will show up, same with similar links that don't show up on the app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dano123 Posted May 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 I finally had a chance to send in my drill. Well my wife did. The instructions were to let Milwaukee know when I did so they can send my new drill and replacement bit. I will keep everyone posted.

Dano123 Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I was all excited to see a box from Milwaukee today. As I picked it up I knew it was way too light. Sure enough they mailed me a new bit, but I still haven't received my new drill... Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Curious to know the status of this? What method did you use? I have found the eservice through their website to be the best, there is no middleman involved, and it gets shipped straight to them, and straight back to you.

Dano123 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 I posted in your other thread. I got my drill the other day. I emailed them, they sent a shipping label, I dropped it off at FedEx and they returned it to me within a week. They replaced my bit as well.

sparky603 Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 I have a first-gen 2604 that I've used very heavily daily since it came out, and it's done it maybe a half a dozen times. I've always been able to loosen it by hand, but it took all my might. My 2706 One-Key has yet to do it, but from the sounds of it, it will at some point. Still, I'm pretty much totally cordless during my workday thanks to my Fuel tools, and that's the only issue I've had with any of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep tabs on mine, but so far never experienced it.

sparky603 Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 I've got to have drilled at least a few thousand holes with it - mostly with a 1"x18" ship auger - and it's happened maybe the half a dozen times. I didn't think of it as an issue at all, just put it down to aggressive, demanding use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Dean Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 I know this is an old thread, but I've had the same issue with the ratcheting chuck on my 2706-20 hammer drill/driver. The only way to release it is to take a big set of channellock pliers and force it loose. Haven't had any other issues, and the chuck still holds the bits just fine.
