Does anybody know if you're able to call and order parts for a tool from Milwaukee? Looked on their web page and just saw the pricing list for parts but not where you can order them yourself. Have the part number from when they sent what I'm needing before but it was from someone on here helping out so didn't know if had to be a service center or what.
Anyway thaks for any help. If nobody knows I'm planning on calling tomorrow anyway.

I got the 18v d handle rotary drill (2713) when it first came out and haven't looked back. I do concrete for a living and since picking it up the Bosch corded one we had hasn't hardly been out of the trailer. Know your thinking about the 12v but would imagine the performance would be similar, especially with tapcons. We put in the same size except they're 3.5-4" length and can go all day with no problem.

same thing happened to my 2753 as well, new trigger, painless warranty through the e-service portal. The direction switch however, is not a problem like yours sounds to be
Yea I'm not sure what's goin on with that switch. It seems pretty light. Usually you can kind of feel a click when you cycle forward and reverse, but can barely feel it on this one. So not sure what's goin on. Other day used it to set up forms for pourch cap and while putting in screws kept hitting that button and having to stop and switch it back. So hopefully don't keep that up or it probably turn into a reserve drill and will pick up new one.

Got it back today, they replaced the trigger and soemthing else don't know what. Don't have any batteries here at house but will get put to use first thing tomorrow so should be all good.
Apparently the direction control button must of had some dirt and whatever in it because now it's pretty touchy so haveta make sure and kick it around in the dirt little in the morning ha. Kind of annoying every time put tool down it flips that switch but is what it is. Overall pretty happy with first time using warranty service and got everything pretty quick.

Never ever had a problem returning a Dewalt cordless tool within the three year warranty to Home Depot or acme...just swap out,,.realize your at 4 years so that says a lot for Milwaukee tools....it is a solid company,I just prefer Dewalt...
Yea I may not have had as much trouble if they had the tool I needed. But they only offered them in a kit and the impact was only thing messed up out of kit I got. Coulda maybe pressed the issue little more but didn't.
Did just get a email saying they sent some kind of package back. Didn't say much else so idk if they fixed it, sent new one, or looked at it and are sending the original back. Guessing there will be a explanation in package. So wait and see again.

If it is having issues due to wear and tear, the warranty states it isn't covered. If it is a manufacturer defect, the warranty states it is covered. I don't know how much HD or other stores follow the "limited" part of the limited warranty but I'm sure it wont hurt to at least have it looked at.
Yea I'm not sure how much they follow what the warranty is to the letter either. I just know from past experience and what they've told me in the past that the HD we have just lets you swap tools if the right person is working and they have the tool. Don't know if its right or wrong but figured at that point that's between them and Milwaukee.

Well, from our experience here, you're better sending it off than using a service center, there are so many centers that need to get their act in gear... it's almost gauranteed to take 3-4 times longer going through a service center than just shipping in the tool. Although, i can see that with larger items...
Yea I tried stopping by our local HD yesterday because usually the guy that works the tool sections is pretty good and in most cases if the tool is still under warranty will just swap it out. He wasn't there and they didn't have the tool anyway, but the person that was there said they would send it off for a fee and I jus kinda laughed and said if that was the case id do it myself for free. But its gone now and hopefully hear something back.

Well just sent it off. Haveta just wait and see what they say.

Plus he can replace his 2653 with the 2753 and fall in love all over again lol. Gave my 2753 away because I have a DCF887 and feel there could be a 2760 Surge in my future ?.
Honestly that's why been iffy on sending it off for warranty, unless the newer gen ones had more balls would be the only reason I'd like it better. The one key or any other programmable setting don't really impress me all that much. I only need it to drive in 3 inch deck screws, tapcons, and the occasional drywall screw into a stake holding a board.
But thanks for the help fellas, looks like will be contacting Milwaukee and go in from there.

I'd contact Milwaukee warranty. If the tool is less than five (no receipt needed they date stamp the serial number) years old, which I bet it is, they honor their warranty. Of that doesn't work I'd highly recommend and American made (yeah yeah global blah blah blah) Dewalt DCF887!
Haha Yellow just doesn't go with any of my outfits.
Really has more to do with I'm pretty loyal to most things if don't have problems and this is only one I've had issue with and I definitely got my monies worth out of it. If wasn't so deep into the red though dewalt has some tools that would be nice.

Yea I planned on sending them a email but I left the jobsite today and forgot to grab the drill out of the job trailer. I'm not sure its just a trigger issue, when you put the battery in nothing at all happens now. Meaning the light doesn't come on like usually does.
Thanks for response though, looks like that would be best option anyway, worse they can say is its not covered.

Well like the title says think I finally killed my fuel 1/4 inch hex driver. Started the other day where whenever I'd put battery in it wouldn't do much of would just kinda sputter when hitting trigger. Was using the compact batteries and at first, if put full size battery in it would take off, but now nothing. Can't really complain though, have had it for at least three or four years and it gets used and abused and never had a hiccup till now.
But guess the point of this is is there any point in trying to warranty the thing since have had it so long and guessing from the looks of it they would laugh and is there even a way to look it up and see if its still covered under the five year without having a receipt? I could look through some old paperwork and see when purchased but at end of day to replace it isn't going to cost much more than 120-150 depending on which model so it's deal breaker if have to junk it. I've just never dealt with warrnty service so not sure how it worked.

Have a fuel sawzall up for sale. Got it while back and haven't used it at all so figured someone else might be able to. Not the one key model and is for tool only. 130 to your door.

My modification will hold up, i have no doubt. It has so far very nicely, and it's basically making a rivet tighten the tolerance where it hinges..hard to explain.
The guy at work i haven't discussed this with since, but I can easily see that part of the bracket become nudged back a little bit.
Either way, I'm happy with it now, albeit a little frustrated at first... still for $50, can't complain too much. Love the 9.0 on it as well
I gotcha, yea I had it narrowed down to where I thought the play was coming from just haven't done anything to fix it yet. Debated taking the pin out that I believe is causing the movement and replacing with bolt but that may cause other problems. But I just noticed you guys talking about it and was curious how it worked out.
I recently picked up the 9.0 deal that came with the sawzall, that I don't need ha, and really wanna see how the circular saw likes it. I got the saw right after it came out so when they finally released the bigger batteries started looking forward to picking one up. Works as good as I hope probably pick up at least one more 9.0 for hammer drill too.

I almost wonder if the saw they shipped with the 9.0 kit wasn't on the same production as the bare tool or earlier releases, because i have been in touch with other guys about it, and they say the base is solid.
A guy at work bought the same deal and had it a little loose, he took the outer guard off and bent the bracket that the pin runs through to make it tighter on the swivel... hard to describe in writing..
I, on the other had, took a drift and beat the pin so it would act like a rivet, making it real tight against the bracket. Disappointing, to say the least...
Has any of those 2 methods held up very well? The shoe on my saw has been loose for while and have been looking to fix it or guy at local HD said to just bring it in and he'd swap it for new one, but if its a common problem kinda no point. Mine was a bare tool as well but I figured it became loose because of getting banged around during use or in the job trailer. Not really the easiest on tools tho so it may not be worth messing with.

Now what?
Pour concrete, doesn't really get along with cold weather. Can usually pick up few jobs here and there tho.

Not sure, but this one, 2713 retails at the other stores and online for $279. I think somebody messed up putting it on the clearance rack. I also got a 2757 1/4" one key impact for only $45, reg price on it is $179. I'm pretty sure some sap screwed up and big time. I went to another store to see if they were clearancing as well but they were still at reg price.
I'd be goin back in there and checking if they keep messing up, that's some good deals.
I've had the d handle drill since they came out and that's all we use anymore. Don't even think we've taken our corded Bosch out of the job trailer since I picked up the 2713.

I'm left handed sooo ha. Actually I can and do use both hands it just depends on what I doin and have never had any issue with the blade on the right. But I'm not real picky on alot of stuff people find wrong with products. If it works good enough.

I can't say anything about the 6 1/2 but I've had the 7 1/4 since it came out and have had real good luck with it. It's done just as good as any corded saw I've ever used as far as power. Use it to rip down concrete forms and 2x10 or 12 all the time and unless the battery is getting low it zips right through.
Sure the other one is probably just as good, main reason I got it was it has same size blade as every other saw so don't need to stock up on a different size for one tool.
