Beautiful video man. That was exactly the problem with my drill. I dropped it a number of times and I was just going to toss it in the trash until I watched your video. Went in with a dental pic and a new cord and Voila…success. Thanks again man.
So glad you choose to fix this model...mine had the trigger wires mixed up by a "fishhead" friend of mine...watching close what you did I could figure out where wires go to and...taraaa...it did went back to work the way was supposted to be...it saved my long dependent drill and will give me years of work, for sure...THANKS, man!
BEST such video on the web! Very informative in a friendly format as would be expected among friends. Normally I lose patience with RUclips instructional videos, but enjoyed the entire length.
Thank you for the video. Very Helpful. Although I had an entirely different issue, of sparking and loss of power. Your comment about the brushes needing to have good pressure/contact helped me fix my drill. I found that a brush spring was oversized, prob from a previous repair, and it was getting stuck on the brush guide. The graphite was covered in carbon soot. Thank you.
Had to replace the cord on the same drill as shown here. I probably could not have done it without these great pictures and explanation. Home Depot has an 8', 16 gage 3-wire cord that is a perfect fit. I had a wire that would NOT release as you showed, so I used a Dremel and cutoff wheel to make a slot down the length of the wire. In the end, the connection gear slid out of the switch, and tiny pieces of spring steel went everywhere. BUT one of the wires held and I could see how the springs went in place to hold the wires. It was a tedious and nerve wracking task to reassemble the thing and get the springs to hold the wire, but it is conceptually simple. I used a little quick set epoxy to fill the slot I had cut, and it all went back together fine. Thanks for providing the keys to this simple, but kind of tricky, job (tricky if you can't get the springs to release). Great video.
goto a junk store and find a cheap drill or other power tool to raid for the strain relief, you can use the newest model strain reliefs as well or call a local tool repair shop.
@@CatusMaximus Thanks for the reply. As it turns out, the cord is the molded type and while I could rigg something with a strain relief, I did contact a supply house they do have a flared molded type cord that should do the trick.
Nice Jacobs chuck. Was that an upgrade or did the drill come with that rather spendy chuck installed? I don't remember Milwaukee drills having genuine Jacobs chucks, but this may predate my being old enough to purchase power tools. I have vintage Jacobs chucks on my drills, my drill press, my bench motor, and my lathe tailstock. Great chucks from Hartford, Connecticut, USA!
I forgot to mention that I have a milwaukee 3/8 hole shooter model 0222-1 CHIJ 4301009805. Cannot find any reference to that # but the components look like the drill you are working on in the video.
Why did you not test the cord vs plug. You may have only needed to replace the plug. Easy way to do this is get a outlet/receptacle and wire an extension cord and wire only the Hot/line/black wire to the line/hot side of the receptacle. Then get one of those non-contact voltage testers. I'm sure you already have one. This can be done with the original cord still in place and never taken out. Or if you already did put wire nuts/tape on the exposed ends. Plug original cord into the receptacle and use non-contact voltage tester and run it up and down the cord. In your case it would have beeped the entire length of the cord. Then at the receptacle place the hot/line/black wire of the extension cord to the neutral/white side of the receptacle and use non-contact voltage tester and run it up and down the cord. In your case it may have beeped at the plug and stopped when it gets to the cord. A very common place. Or there could be a break in the white wire in the cord. I have replace many a plug doing this. I made a test rig with a DPDT switch and a single receptacle. The switch flip flops the hot and neutral. The cord may be a little shorter but it is easier faster to just replace the plug.
I got a Milwaukee 0228-1 it had its 3/8 Jacobs chuck replaced with a metabo 3/8 German made keyless Chuck a hard to find version all metal found one on eBay for $40 all I had to do was clean up the commentator add new carbon brushes repack it with grease as for the case on it was missing one screw so I used my Milwaukee 0234-1 as a donor screws could fit the case fine but had to use impact driver to push them in a little bit but it's fine didn't damage the housing and the spare carbon brushes fit just fine runs perfectly mine will serve me well for years to come
If you have a magnum hole shooter it's easy to check the brushes this undo the little plastic screw very carefully it strips out super easy and pull out that brush Carriage there are extra brushes in the carriage if you need them. The periodic taking sound is probably something in the front bearing it may want to open up the gearbox and give it a good cleaning and new Grease. As far as not reversing make sure all the wires are properly seated and then find some type of either electrical contact cleaner or more preferably an electrical de oxidizer and contact cleaner like deoxit which they use for vintage stereo equipment to get rid of the noise from from the volume knobs

Your mechanical savy always come through. Great vid, thanks for sharing.
Excellent straight to the point video with clear concise directions, I couldn't ask for more. Thank you! Now on my way to rebuilding mine

Could you do a video like this on how to put a new chuck on a drill?
Thanks man! I've been looking for a video as informative as this. really helped me out...
Having an issue finding a cord protector for the very drill you're showing. Ideas?
Well, mine is a 3/8" 0222-1 drill, but the cord is the same.

Great instructional vid. Many thanks. I'll be soon using your technique on my B&D.

My Drill makes a ticking sound when I use it now.Do I need to change the brushes?
Great explanation Sir✅🙌‼️
Can you replace the chucks on these with a keyless chuck?
There’s usually a reverse thread set screw in the chuck
I got a Milwaukee 0228-1 it had its 3/8 Jacobs chuck replaced with a metabo 3/8 German made keyless Chuck a hard to find version all metal found one on eBay for $40 all I had to do was clean up the commentator add new carbon brushes repack it with grease as for the case on it was missing one screw so I used my Milwaukee 0234-1 as a donor screws could fit the case fine but had to use impact driver to push them in a little bit but it's fine didn't damage the housing and the spare carbon brushes fit just fine runs perfectly mine will serve me well for years to come
I believe you bypassed trouble shooting the switch. My powercord ohms good. Leads to brush springs ohms good. Pretty sure my switch is burnt.
Good info there, Cheers mate! 👍
You had me at cat 😺
Informative video 👍✒️🆒
Thank you for your video.
My Drill also can't switch from Forward to Reverse. My Drill is a Milwaukee 0234-1 Magnum Holeshooter.
If you have a magnum hole shooter it's easy to check the brushes this undo the little plastic screw very carefully it strips out super easy and pull out that brush Carriage there are extra brushes in the carriage if you need them.
The periodic taking sound is probably something in the front bearing it may want to open up the gearbox and give it a good cleaning and new Grease.

@@CatusMaximus Hi,thank you for your quick reply and help.
U could cut the plug off and check the wire and install new plug.
Ur a perfectionist
EXCELLENT!
Glad you think so!
That's a weatherhead socket.
