  • Are you tired of your milwaukee batteries falling out of your milwaukee m12 tools? So am I. Over a short period of time my milwaukee High output 6.0 and 3.0 batteries started falling out of my Milwaukee tools regularly, with it being the worst on my milwaukee 2457 ratchet and my milwaukee 2554 stubby impact. I mean just one after another every battery cracked and left me with unusable milwaukee tools. Well, today we're gonna do a milwaukee tools battery warranty claim and go over what it actually takes to warranty milwaukee tools and milwaukee batteries.

    Thank you. I had a new 6ah that The charger said was full but when you push the indicator light it flashed just for a few seconds. No tool would run on it other than an LED light. Thank you for such a helpful video. You rock

    When I warrantied their impact, i called milwaukee, they gave me authorized shops around me and all i had to do was drop off the tool. I'd definitely try to go that route first if possible

  • @SuicidaI_Tendencies

    For Automotive use on the M12 batteries, I filled the gap with Permatex the Right Stuff Black Gasket Maker. It stays on way better and doesn't dislodge itself when the Impact Guns are Impacting on a Bolt/Nut. I figured if the M12 batteries last at least a year, the tool pay for itself. I have about a dozen m12 batteries, they get the job done!! 1/4'', 3/8'', to 1/2'' impact guns to 1/4'', 3/8'' and 1/2'' impact ratchets! Love them daily, used daily!!

  • @truckerpeterose

    This is great information. I started a file on my phone for everything I purchased Milwaukee since the first bundle of tools I purchased a few years back. I take a picture of my receipt and the packages so I know where to go for proof of purchase. Some of the older Gen 1 tools have been on the shelves longer than their stamped warranty codes, greatly reducing the amount of warrantied time the batteries have without the receipt . My first set of batteries were already 2 years old according to the date code. I do appreciate the fact that Milwaukee does at least track the date codes so people without a receipt aren’t automatically disqualified from a warranty attempt. I’ve been impressed by Milwaukee from day 1 and this video is further proof that I made the correct decision to go entirely Milwaukee years ago.

    • @GarnettTools
      @GarnettTools  4 года назад

      Yes, half of the batteries that came with my tools were well into their warranty period judging by the battery stamp. Actually would have been able to warranty a few more had I not waited a month until I started the warranty process.

    Very informative & helpful. You are the first person I believe actually had a problem with Milwaukee tools. I own 23 m12 batteries have only had 1 go bad after dropped the tool twice from 6' on a concrete floor. Had 2 m18 batteries went bad out of the 24 that I have. Feel blessed own near $100,000 of Milwaukee tools I use them a lot with zero problems. I do have a back pak M18 sprayer that has not worked correctly since I got it.I'm waiting for a answer on.

Use only mild soap [Dawn] and a damp cloth to clean, since certain cleaning agents [F and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts.

      The 3 other impacts they did but it literally took 3 1/2 months of arguing back and fourth with them before I got them back and one of them wasn't even the right tool.
      So I then had to re warranty the incorrect one that they gave me and wait yet another month and a half for a screw up on their end. What a joke that was and I told myself I'll never go thru that again and have bought everything from snap on since.
      Their new brushless stuff stomps the crap out of Milwaukee anyways and Is worth the investment.
