I'm gald you did this video. A lot of us have milwaukee tools. Since watching your channel, i see they're not the best quality, but i have a few grand into them and want to get as much of my money out of them as possible. Thank you sir.
Since i watched one of your Milwaukee grinder videos and you said it is a common problem with them i have bought a couple of them bearings and have changed that bearing even though the original bearing was fine so that never happens and it ends up wearing the housing out
From experience Dean, what are the most long lasting batteries. Started out 14 years ago with Bosch Pro tools and in this time have only had 1 battery die out of 11. The battery was date 2010. Have lately took on a few Milwaukee tools, good or bad im not sure
Really depends on how much work you do with them, all the top brands use pretty much the same cells anyways, in the same configuration.. So my guess is there really wouldnt be much between them.. Nothing worth switching brands for anyways..
yes, milwaukee has all kinds of problems with batteries. the housings on their M12 batteries wear out pretty fast and they start falling out of the tools. their M18 8ah and 12ah batteries that use samsung 21700 40T cells have problems with the battery management system (aka BMS) that causes the cells to charge and discharge unevenly. after some time, a group of cells inside will have the voltage drop below 2V, at which point the battery can no longer be charger using any charger. they can't be "jump started" or anything like that. the cells with the voltages that are too low have to be charged individually (not as a whole pack), which is hard, dangerous and a waste of time.
Hi Yesterday i was repairing my bat.metabo angle grinder... There was bad bearing in the head where you put cutting disk but... The bearing is 6202 in plastic cant get it out so i just cleand it an new greas... I wonder how long it wil last... It worked for 5 years it was still working just bad noise on bearing
There's a battery shop in my town that was really good. They would rebuild batteries with quality cells a lot cheaper than the cost of a new one. But the original owner sold the business and now all they do is sell knock-off batteries at a ridiculous price and they don't last.
You said you ask people not to send in Milwaukee. Just curious as a "milwaukee guy" why that is. I'm no Milwaukee fanboy, but after all my Dewalt tools died I switched to Milwaukee and have been happy with it so far.
He's said in past videos that a lot of Milwaukee stuff is built in such a way that when one thing breaks you have to order all the internal guts you can't get certain specific parts.
A worked in a TTI service center years ago, and they really aren't designed to be serviceable like some other pro level brands. I just rebuilt a friends 30 Year old Bosch hammer drill and could order every part I needed. It's hard to get parts for a 3 year old Milwaukee tool if it isn't in production anymore. If it's out of warranty you might as well go buy a new one because it's not going to be worth the fix, and that's just how TTI wants it. There isn't much actual "fixing" going on at their service centers either, you have the motor, housing, gearbox, etc. and all the electronics as one big sub assembly, mostly you're just throwing a new drill or whatevers innards in the old housing and calling it a day. That's cheaper for them than actually paying someone to diagnose and repair a tool. The downside for the tool owner is that this is not a cost effective solution if it's out of warranty. Go look at any big commercial outfit or rental shop, you'll see Hilti, Bosch, Makita, but almost never Milwaukee. Not that the tools themselves are bad, it's just that they are built to be disposable, not repairable.
Basically Because Milwaukee are disposable. Outside their warranty there’s nothing you can really do once they die because of the part issue. If it’s repairable then they make you order entire assemblies of the parts rather than the actual small part you need to make it work again therefore better off just buying a new tool. In other words Milwaukee stuff are dependable and good tools but aren’t meant to be worked on and are disposable

@@solomonshv i’m really lucky using Makita, 10 years battery dismantle 5 cell voltage still very good balancing
Feels like Allistor Moody is teaching me to fix an angle grinder
Do you reckon that would be the same bearing for one that I brought home from the states?

But here in our cuntry metabo spare parts are cheep prices...
Hilti I can not afford😂
I wish id of known about milwaukees bad reputation with repair shops before i bought into there line of battery tools
