KnarlyCarl Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Pulled the 2753 out of my truck yesterday morning, and it started giving me problems. Watch the video for what I mean. It eventually altogether died, and I will be sending it back for warranty. Anyone know of this happening? Chrisk, this is the one I bought from you, if you were wondering. https://youtu.be/ErRWyIocM2g . In the background you can see a repair ring for a toilet flange I was working on. I used my m12 to finish the screws the 2753 couldn't. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khariV Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 It's not defective. It just doesn't want to work on a toilet flange. I think when Chrisk bought it, it was promised that it would only be working on wood along side lots of Festool green, perhaps building a deck some day, not toilet gunk. That's probably what happened. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kato Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Looks like a bad trigger to me, simple fix. If you're adventurous try to find a replacement part and do it yourself. I've done plenty of triggers, they're easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't bother if the tool is this new, Milwaukee should look after anything needed to fix or replace.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 I would bother, because if it was a tool I needed I wouldn't want to wait. Contact Milwaukee, box it up, send it out, wait for it to come back...I'm too impatient for that. Under warranty I understand, and I'd probably use the warranty, but when warranties run out your're ducked. Most of the time I weigh the pros and cons of warranty versus self-repair, and typically it's beneficial for me to just do it myself. If it's a matter of getting parts, I use the warranty. If it's something simple like a cold solder joint, loose wire, etc., I just do it myself. That's just me though, I'm kinda silly in the head...

That's just me though, I'm kinda silly in the head... no you are 100% right about the waiting times, however if I was in a position and needed the tool that bad for a daily operation, I would purchase another one while I was waiting and when the repaired one comes back either fixed or replaced I would return it. Now is that a proper way well it is Milwaukee that is putting you out so ya should have got a good one to start with. Granted this I would do if tool is as new as the one in question. if it were 3 months or more old I'd consider another option. Never mess with a man's bread and butter....well not this one anyway...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done plenty of triggers, they're easy. Im adventurous on older things, but this will go back for warranty as planned, I've done it before, its painless and only takes a week til I get it back. I can use other drills to take its place while I wait, there's about a dozen other drills at work I could bum off someone if I really needed to.

Logan Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Looks like u need a new trigger from the Milwaukee stuff I've used its pretty common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 47 minutes ago, Logan p said: Looks like u need a new trigger from the Milwaukee stuff I've used its pretty common Huh, this is the first one I've encountered, and our company has dozens of Milwaukee power tools, only other occurrence was when one guy damaged his brushed M18 impact driver and it didn't do variable speed, just full speed whenever he pulled the trigger. But that has happened to the DeWalt drills, too. They weren't new, so no real surprise that it would malfunction at some point in time. I've filled out the eservice warranty forms through Milwaukee website, if anyone is wondering, it's super easy, obviously wish I didn't have to do that to begin with, but it's quick and convenient, and makes me appreciate Milwaukee better for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks chrisk, i'm not worried about it one bit, I just printed out the warranty shipping label, and it gets taken care of in a weeks time. I'm not sure what's going on with the three you have experienced, this is the first major breakdown of any Milwaukee tools we have had, and we have A LOT of Milwaukee tools in the company, both corded and cordless. Real shame none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I will say the warranty that Milwaukee has is fantastic but the issues haven't been lost on me. My brother is a plumber here in Nh and he switched from Dewalt to Milwaukee and had never had a problem with his Milwaukee tools. His fuels look like they've been flushed a few times! Me on the other hand, brand new tools right out of the package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hernandez Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Looks like an electronic failure, I think it inhaled to much sewer gas..lol I hate rotted cast toilet flanges, I would rather rip out 10 pvc flanges than to do one cast flange repair. Guess which one I do the most?? CAST!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millerzconstruction Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 It has to be a bad connection or bad battery. Dang that sux man. How long you had it? I hope you don't have much trouble gettin a new one. Let us know how the return goes. Or they might try fixing it and sending it back to you?
