Milwaukee drill

[plowboy820]

I recently bought a Milwaukee drill/driver at a garage sale. Reversablle but now it won't reverse. It will extract screws but not drive them. Any idea what the problem is and what it might cost to fix it? Or should I just chuck it?

Thanks

Depends upon what you paid for the drill. It might be something as the forward/reverse switch not making contact, to the motor. If you plan on chucking the tool, I would take it apart and see how it is built, just to give you an idea of the workings of a drill. Who knows, you might see the problem and fix it. But if your going to trhow it out anyways, who cares if you mess it up.

Thanks for the info. If I take it apart, how could I tell if the switch is making contact? Not sure what to look for or how to test it.

If you put up the catalog number and the serial number of the drill maybe I can get a better idea of what you have.

Thanks for the help!

The company says it was manufactured sometime between 93-95.

Catalog # 0394-1

Ser. # 765-92621

Well, the problem is the switch, fairly easy fix if you can find the parts. You will need swich kit P/N23-66-2301 it come with a switch and the plastic motor housing.

The number is obsolete but if you phone around the Milwaukee service centers in your area maybe someone has one.

I actually have one, but being from Canada its probably not worth the hassle. Send me a PM if you are interested in more specifc details, I don't want to over step the bounderies

of this forum.
