Idiots guide to Milwaukee.....

[REStracTORATION]

Don't know tbh, will have to have a look tomorrow

You must have some tight wheel nuts if this wont undo it, this is my type there is a few versions of the 1/2" so make sure if you want the high power one you order the high power one

Right cheers, I got it off the internet but can't remember which website, I'll have to get it mended

Franks Curtis sell Milwaukee stuff so they might be able to send it away for you if repairs are cheap enough like @RWG Contracts said?

@ACEngineering I think the x is for fast charger and have seen kits with a c and they had standard charger!?

Dont matter were you bought it. Send it to c.j Sinclair. You will have to pay cause you didnt register it to get the free extended warranty. If its the fuel version its worth repairing.

If you're down Northallerton way, Paxtons are really good for Milwaukee, speak to Phil.

I just blew up my circular saw, it was a few years old, and ready for a new blade.
Was quoted £80+vat to repair it.

Bought a new fuel version on offer for £130+vat

Alan Wadkins at Darlington are another decent Milwaukee supplier.

I've a bit of gear collected.

I'm sure I've another battery or 2 kicking around as well.

Got power tool envy now

Hmmm never really been wet, maybe odd shower when using it. I find they can't crack wheel studs off, have to get the wheel bar out first

I,m totally with you mine is the same been repaired 3 times already and will not undo a wheel nut but put on a 1/2 inch breaker bar and undo it easy. I think it is one of those marketing things that Milwaukee shout about being the best and the rest is a fashion statement imo. Another thing if they give 3yr warranty why do they make you register for it? I think it's because half the customers will forget / not bother and then it's lost like mine was, ohh and my brothers one has been even worse than mine

If my Milwaukee won't undo a bolt the 1/2 inch 3 foot swivel bar won't shift it either you've got to get the big socket set and a scaffold tube or a tourque multiplier
