- In the previous video, I tried to fix my nonfunctional Milwaukee M12 3/8" electric ratchet by disassembling it, cleaning it, and putting it back together. This fix work s for 9/10 nonfunctional ratchets of this type. Video here:

That, unfortunately did not work as my tool had a broken crank shaft. For that reason I have to disassemble it completely, replace the crank shaft, and reassemble it. The good news? Now it works! Total success. this tool is fixed and 100% operational again.

*PLEASE READ* As is all to often the way, it seems a fatal error was made in this video when I used *ANTI SEIZE* instead of lithium. A momentary lapse in judgement which was quickly discovered and pointed out by a few great D&E viewers. I will be tearing this tool apart tonight, and will have a follow up video linked and carded to ensure that no one else makes the same mistakes. As always, I hope you were still able to enjoy this video regardless of the mistake. Thank you to everyone who pointed out my error and prevented me from ruining the tool I just fixed. #monkeywithatoolbox
This has nothing to do with this vid but I'm at a loss my wife wj is over charging the batt from what I have read the voltage reg is in the ECU my question is can I swap it for one a the junk yard? Your knowledge has helped in the past so I figured why not ask.
That should work, but having never tackled that issue before I cannot say 100% that there isnt another area that is causing the issue. I would highly recommend getting on jeepforum.com and asking the question. you WILL get an answer and with WILL be correct. those guys have been dicking around with WJs since the first one rolled off the assembly line in 1999
I was going to say something but I was to late.
Such a great score. Even if it never worked, 10 bucks for the battery alone was a good deal
Yea, definitely a good deal
Yeah when I saw it the guy wanted $30 and I got there and I said it doesn’t work I don’t want it... hold on what will you take so it doesn’t go home with you lol
Bro thank you for such a comprehensive video on this repair and the lithium grease update. watched other videos and they didn't show how to connect the head to the crank. You saved me a ton on money. def earned a subscribe.
this video yet a few years late helped me, i didnt want to spend so much on one of these, but with this vid i just bought a broken one, and looks like from what the seller said the base started smoking so looks like it might need a new motor, but dont know yet until i get it
I just picked up two of these bad boys for $10! I’ll be using your videos to fix em
Where can I find it?
DO NOT USE ANTI SEIZE ON THE GEARS, GET THAT OUT OF THERE, NOT MADE FOR THAT.
100% it has abrasives in it. I have seen quite a few ruined bearings because of it
EXACTLY bomberman3000ex.
Thank you for the info, buddy. I guess I got some bad advice. I will tear this down this weekend and re-grease with lithium.
What do you gents recommend for such an application? Lithium?
D&E In The Garage moly grease would be great for it.
Thanks for this video and th update about the anti-seize. I have the D54B model and all the parts in the link are for D54A. I couldn't find the corresponding ratchet on the site you sourced. My crankshaft broke and I need a replacement. Just so everyone else knows, don't use these ratchets as a breaker bar lol.
I will be completely honest with you. I am not sure what the difference is or where to get the alternative parts. Is your version the Fuel version?
I’ve already had 2 cranks fail on me, I’m definitely not happy about that, the tool is great but I still use it with the fear of braking it again doing simple repairs. Milwaukee needs to update that part since the 2 times I’ve had them break on me has been removing caliper sliding pin bolts that are torqued to 26 ft-lbs. and before anyone asks no I did not try to loosen them up using the motor of the tool, it was being loosened up by hand before using the motor
Literally broke mine today on slide pin bolt 😭
Thanks for the anti seize PSA.. I was not in the know either. 🤯
My crankshaft just snapped also. Wasnt even putting a ton of force on it. Work bought me the better Fuel version. Just order the new crankshaft and 1/4in anvil. 1/4in is all this thing can handle. Cant believe they even thought about making it 3/8s. The 30ft/lbs it puts out is all it can handle.
Good fix bud didn't seem to be too hard to do. It's always good to put a tool back in service. I guess really the only question you have to ask yourself is how much are those things brand new and is it cost efficient to fix it
In this case, yes. They are pretty expensive new and we got the battery with it. If it didnt have the battery, likely not worth it
M12 Milwaukee ratchets are not cheap. Mechanics spend big dollars on tools. If you have the skills fix it.
$20 bucks isn’t bad. I would love one of those
It is a pretty awesome tool. I am converted
Nice job Doug...
Thanks, Dan.
I had hard time having the head locked in place when i think snap ring is tight and secure but when i rotate the head with power button it pops out of the head frame and it broke my spring and spring cap for the little latch to turn left & right… so i ordered a new head anvil service kit and how do i lock the head secure so i dont make the same mistake? Is it the snap ring was the issue not being tight all the way down ?
thank you verry much
After putting the anvil back into the head and popping the snap ring in, my switch stops working like something is bound up inside. Any ideas? The switch works right up until I put the snap ring on.
My driver bearing rolled away when I had the tool taken apart. I think I’m SOL as it doesn’t look like they sell a replacement.
Hmm... I would definitely look around for junk tools for sale. Sometimes you can get these for $20 or $30 because the motor is blown. I dont know if that is worth it to you, but that it probably the direction I would go.
This video is a life saver 😂
Great job. How about to convert from 3/8 to 1/4 ? Is it possible to do this ques?
Mine doesn’t seem to detect battery.. the little light comes on but nothing happens on trigger. The 4 batt LEDs also don’t light up, just the built in light
A little clean up and a couple parts and it's as good as new. Appearance isn't everything!
Works like a charm
I'd buy that for $20 every day of the week
I think that is a big problem with these. Mine failed trying to pop a drain plug loose. That's it. Literally shouldn't fail doing that. Should need a cheater bar and an axle nut.
i have a 1/4 drive miluawkee fuel electric rachet but want a 3/8, can i simply swap out the anvil with a 3/8 one do you know?
I cringed when he used anti sieze....i am like noooooo
Do you have any ideas about why mine is so weak? Just disassembled and nothing is broken. Only thing I see is needle bearings are allowing crank to wiggle, not transferring 100% rotation to the driver bushing. I Can’t find bearings alone
i have a question, im from germany and i own a 1/2 ratchet. did the ratchet needs a service ? i mean do i have to give the head fat or something else ?
fine job well done
I broke the prong off the battery receiver. Is it possible to solder it back on?
Hi there very good video were can I got the bro que part?
Where did you get the shaft from, i need one for mines
I'm trying to find the part# of the replacement broken part
All in the decription of this video
How do I know which 3/8" drive model I have? They all look the same.
My problem with these things is shitty snap rings.
Can I put the 1/4 anvil in the 3/8 ratchet ?
To be completely honest, I am not sure. Sorry
With modification you should be able to. I know a lot of people are taking the new 1/4 inch current generation milwaukee ratchets and adding the 3/8 anvil in those from the previous generation. These is some grinding and sanding required with a rotary tool though.
Cool. I have two 3/8 ratchets and want to convert one to 1/4 using kit 42-06-1005. Do you think this is a good idea or is it just better to use a 3/8 to 1/4 reducer? Thanks.
Not sure if you ever did this but I verified between the two models of 3/8 and 1/4 drive, the only difference I could find was the anvil
@@zachariahnajm9924 Thanks for the info.
Mine is hard to switch directions from forwards to reverse, any suggestions? I need to use pliers
Probably take it apart and clean it.
In your opinion do you think a 1/4 anvil could be swapped for a 3/8?
crankshaft part #?
That is NOT how the snap ring is reinstalled.
Might not have looked like it in the video, but I assure you it was. I have been using this every weekend since. no issues
Get job with the details.
Hello, where did you buy the spare part? I have the same problem like you
