Does any body else's gun " crap " it's self out the bleed button ? Every time I put it down for a day or so I come back to a pile of grease which has slowly oozed out ? I have tried to clean and see if that was prob but no difference.

Anyone ???

Great gun other wise I just can't afford all this wasted grease !!!!

McNaught exactly the same. Have to fully depressurize before you leave, or it will do its best to empty the 12kg drum onto the floor. I feel your pain ...............

My cheapass Draper has started doing the same, thought a quality gun like a Milwaukee would be better than that.

Yeah. Bit disappointing. Feels like the spring has gone weak or summit in the button

Got three year warranty if you registered it? Unless you imported it then your on your own! I use c j sinclair. They done 2 warranty repairs on my grinder.

You have to register the tools online with Milwaukee to get the full 3 year warranty. It dont cost you anything but needs doing with so many days after purchase.
Couldn't get mine to register online whatsoever with Milwaukee, gave up in the end. But why do thay make it so difficult to register, and more to the point why can't you just have 3 years warranty in the first place? Seems they hope half the customers forgot to bother and the other half give up trying!

Yes i agree it would make life easier if you didnt have to register it but most things are like that. Cookers, fridge, other power tool brands also I'm sure.
