Is this common with you?
Yes i had the issue on one of my 2804's. read my comment below. easy fix.
No. I got rid of all my Milwaukee power tools, with one exception my hard hat light.
Yeah I've had trigger issues on their impact drivers, every generation has has similar issues for me. Lasts about two years of heavy use then its toast. Triggers seem to be the weak link for milwaukee
I have the same issue on the same drill since the day i bought it.And it is the european model since i am from Europe.Here the code for the drill is FPD 2.I thought i got a bad unit...
Yup just slightly shaved the trigger selector with a blade and it's been working flawless
Rookie mistake there. You got the 2804-22 "L" model, you need the 2804-22 "R". You're trying to use a left-handed drill with your right hand just return it and ask them to send you the Right Handed model.
So is this current kit from depot left handed or right. M18 fuel kit Model# 2997-22-2630-20-2626-20
Internet# 310748606
But i have this drill already and i can use the drill with both hands and i don´t know how to recognize between the L and R model. Also i don`t have this issue yet, and before bought this product i tested this issue a lot of time if was a factory defect but anyway worked perfectly.
Which ones are left and right handed models????
Lol
Unbelievable people will fall for anything
I had the same issue. Right out of the box. Got mine repaired under the warranty. Whole warranty dealings only took 2 days with repairing included. Now works like a charm.’
I have had the same drill for several months and use it almost daily. I haven't had that problem. It's been flawless.
Mine was flawless for almost a year, and then it just stopped working.. I didn’t work it hard, mostly hole saw pots in drywall.
My 2704-20 is still going hard after several years. The 2804-20 not so much.
I have it too, i love it too, so much torque on it too
All you do is unscrew the screws, open it, take out the plastic swich and file it a little, look for the video that shows ya under- fix trigger switch milwaukee m18 fuel drill sticking problems.
Just checked out my Gen 3 hammer drill at work. No problem here that I can see with the trigger
I don’t have this issue! I bought mine as another person here did in a kit with the large Packout, M18 Fuel Hackzall (love it!), Gen 3 Hammerdrill, and Gen 3 Impact Driver. They are awesome tools! Lots and lots of torque. I’ve seen reviews where the Milwaukee has beat the Dewalt. With other reviews where the Gen 3 Impact Driver has literally smoked the Dewalt 887 (VCG smoked 3 or 4 of then in tests).
So no, I don’t hav the issue you have and recommend it. It could’ve been a bad lot of switches (triggers).
Yup I’ve had two of these one from Amazon and one from HD. They both did same exact thing. I “upgraded” from 2nd gen but I’m just gonna take them back and stick with what I have.
I have a bunch of Milwaukee tools and have noticed the same issue not only in the 18v drill but also my 12v drill. I also took them back trying to find one without the trigger issue.
I have three M18 Fuel drills and haven't had that problem.
I had the same problem with the trigger of my Gen 3 , but after 1 month of use the trigger already works flawlessly. It took little time of the trigger to work without any problems .
Great vid! I have a new Gen3 drill and I'm having the exact same problem. I spoke to the rep, he came around and gave me some freebies and I now have the drill in for repair. Not great about the issue looking to be widespread but their service is fantastic.
I have heard great things about their warranty service.
That's why i still got Gen2! I rarely use it cause i also own the M12 Gen 1 1/2. Only when i can't get it done with the M12 do i break out the beast! Im waiting on a Gen4 kit to possibly upgrade. Thanks for keeping the masses updated, though!
Hey I don’t have Milwaukee but would think someone or some machine didn’t trim enough of plastic on the slide or button to give it proper fit and function. Quality control process. When I worked in a machine shop I had to check like every 10th or so piece to make sure the cuts were correct.
I work at a tool rapair shop. We have not had many of these come in for this issue. I think i have only seen one with this problem out of the ones i have fixed. I understand what could easily cause this. The trigger just needs to sitting out a little bit and it catches like this. And also i have noticed they let it direction selector sit much losser in this than other models, idk why exactly though. But if you where to hold the drill different, leaning it to the other side you will likely notice the trigger is now not getting caught. But from the experience of a tool repairer you just got unlikely. But this isn't the main design flaw with this tool. The first time I saw the tool I saw a problem with it straight away. I won't say what it is though. But i might let you know if ever you guess it.
You described exactly what I figure the problem is with all of mine. We use them, so we haven't had time to send any off. Just can't tilt the drill to the left side while in forward or the trigger will stick.
i bought the gen 2 135nm fuel drill, and this one came out like the day after.. at first i was kinda frustrated, but now i am kinda glad? it has been flawless
I don’t own anything gen 3. I have a few of gen 1 m12 and the 3/8” stubby m12 impact (not sure if that’s gen3) But with the quality Milwaukee strives for, I can’t see them just letting this slide. $200 for a drill, it better be flawless no matter the brand. I would contact Milwaukee again with the details of this transaction and insist on a suitable drill. This will absolutely stop me from upgrading to gen 3 until I see this remedied. Milwaukee has earned my business by being the leader in customer care and warranty so I expect them to be on top of this issue.
Yes I agree, I find the problem is my index finger doesn't push the directional switch properly. I think the problem is an ergonomical issue not a part issue.
Always better to blame the tool....this was my first thought also but Whiners Abound. !!
Are you implying that when the tool is in reverse, his index finger depresses the trigger ergonomically, but not so when in Forward mode?
@@beowolfso.6096 You dont use yur index finger to put it in reverse you use your thumb
I’ve had the Gen 3 Hammer drill for several months. I’ve never noticed the problem your talking about here.
Just purchased this exact drill from Home Depot (June 2020). I have this same issue and I got the same response from Milwaukee. They claimed they “have no reported trigger issues with that model” .Doesn’t inspire confidence to they the least.
I had that same flaw with my Gen 2 m12 drill. I took it apart and shaved the trigger mechanism a bit. I own 2 of these m18 gen 3s and neither of them have that issue.
I know this has nothing to do with the trigger, but I noticed the chuck on your drill is more of a glossy black where as mine is a matte black.. 🤔
SINCE YOU SAID THAT ,I ALSO NOTICED THAT BIG TIME !!! TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN MINE ..."WEIRD" !!
MAYBE DON'T ORDER FROM AMAZON ..IDK ...
I may have purchased the set you returned. My drill wich I got some times in March, absolutely have the same issue.
Sep. 2021
I just bought the M18 MILWAUKEE 2802 and comparing it with another that I have the Brushless 1/2 Makita 18v Dhp485sye, the MILWAUKEE 2802 is louder, the motor whistles, it heats up more,
the battery does not fit at all, the charger seems iron but as a positive point It has a better Chuck, it feels powerful, 5-year warranty, it looks well manufactured.
Between MILWAUKEE and Makita the power seems similar, at the moment I prefer the makita since the motor is quieter, the motor and charger hardly get hot, time will tell if the heating in the
MILWAUKEE is a problem or not.
It has cost me USD$185, winning the makita for USD$12 dollars less.
I hope my comments contribute something positive to your purchases.
Have had my model like this for 2yrs and never had any issues like that. I did mess up my chuck and now I'm trying to swap it out... Ugh... Freaking hard!
All of my 2804's do the same thing. It's annoying, but it works. All of my dewalts crapped out. Thanks for doing this video.
Man, I got my 3rd-gen hammer drill, when it first came out. After a month and a half, it had a trigger problem. It would get stuck, especially when I am drilling up. A year later, the problem still persists. I have gotten used to it. Other than that, it still performs amazingly. Another thing I have noticed is that there is a small gap in the chuck, between the red ring and the other half of the chuck, about 1/16th of an inch.
I just bought a 2804-20 and the trigger is smooth in both forward and reverse. I think you got 2 bad drills. However, I am having difficulty with the variable clutch over tightening screws even at the lowest setting. That is what brought me to your video. I was hoping to find some commentary on the clutch. But your issue was the trigger; not the clutch.
I have the same drills and the same problem. I use my 3rd gen impact the most and I run into that problem a lot. I have put my drill in reverse multiple times and went forward sinking the screw further than I wanted. I also own 2 of the 088220 m18 vacuume and one of them has the bad clicking in the trigger like what your experiencing, no real issues just a bad click. I own a set of 1st gen drill set and have never had any issues.
I'm finding the same thing with dewalts impact flex brushless. Here's what has me sold on dewalt my last set of dewalt 18v owed me nothing!
I few years into it the chuck on the hammer drill got all messed up. I researched figure I'ld try changing it for the cost of about 60 bucks. I went to and authorized repair place for dewalt to get the part. The guy says to me for 99 bucks we'll fix what ever is wrong with it. I was only doing this so I would have to spend 300 plus on a new one so for 100 bucks what do I have to loose. They told me it takes about 3 weeks. Well two days later I get the call that it's ready. The yellow housing and the black trigger were the only things left from the original. It might have well been a new drill. It lasted me another 11 years. Tools are how I make my living, they all have pros and cons dewalt treated me right so last November dewalt got my business when I replace every thing with no regrets.
I got lucky with my trigger. But I don't like the electronic clutch/torque-limiter.
They shouldn't pretend it has 16 settings. It should just say "high" and "nut-busting high".
This driver is great for (self)drilling in metal, or driving big bolts with a socket.
For woodwork, or for installing electrical devices & face plates, there's the little M12 (which is absolutely perfect).
Mine has a sticking trigger as well!
I have had trouble with a couple of Milwaukee drills, a 12 V. and an 18 V. both were the drill and hammer type and they just repaired them and sent them back to me. the trouble I had was the drill would stop if you fully pulled the trigger when the batteries were just recharged.
Have the same issue hoping after some more use it will smooth out as others have
Ive had mine for a few weeks now, mine doesn’t have that problem, however it does seem to stall out easily. Somethin I’ve noticed is at full speed it will stall out at certain points, but if I slowly raise up the speed it won’t.which sounds obvious but I didn’t have that problem with the non fuel brushless version, or the hole hawgs and other Milwaukee stuff I’ve used. Its weird but if I have other issues with it, I’m considering buying the makita hammer drill. My coworker has it and it is a freakin tank.
I haven't had a problem with trigger sticking but have had problems with having to press the trigger twice to get it to work.
Before the video started I said out loud "the trigger!" I have the same drill and used it almost everyday during a renovation and I was experiencing the very same issue. Seems to only want to work perfectly if you pull straight back but in awkward spaces with very little room you're finger wont land perfectly on that trigger and it would get stuck. I talked to the Milwaukee Rep at Home Depot about it and he knew nothing about it and we both looked at previous models, drill/impacts, and they had solid triggers that did not seem to bind up like that one.
I just watched a video. It might explain. When you are using the drill setting to drive a screw the drill will shut down as to not over tighten. When you pull the trigger it will move the screw 1/16 of an inch with each trigger squeeze . It could be a feature in the drill that is overlooked.
I just bought that same drill and it doesn’t do that but I bought mine from Home Depot not amazon
my buddy just bought a brand new fuel set from home Depot and it has the same issue, I got a brand new fuel set off offerup and I have the same issue but to a much much less extent. It just hit and miss I guess
I am having a problem with my 2804-22 where my drill bits keep sliding on the jaws in the chuck. as soon as I drill into something the jaws let up and My bit slips. I am debating on returning it and getting a DeWalt XR kit. In Canada, the kit is worth $500.
When the haters hate, it just means you are doing your job very good. Haters are very common on the channels I follow mostly due to fanboyitus. Keep doing what your doing because obviously it’s working 👍🏻
I totally agree! I started watching this channel due to its name. To me it means second chances or today on Easter.....well you know....Christ
Rising from the grave. I also loved the AR-15 mat on earlier tear down videos. If you are waiting on everybody to agree with you.....hell will freeze over first so keep bring that great content doin you. Hell, you are doing better than most of your followers as i only can afford to stay on 2 battery platforms (M12 & M18) due to cost.
Thanks to both of you it means a lot to me!
wow..your right...mine does the same thing...but I find it does it more when I squeeze the trigger more toward the top...it's a strange feel...like something is getting hung up....I got mine free when I bought the m18 jigsaw, so I don't know what to do...I may bring it to a local electrical shop that is also a Milwaukee dealer/service center...I'll keep ya updated on what happens.
It's most likely the forward/reverse selector causing all the issues. Our apprentice at work had the same issue. Sent it for repair. Came back and did it again 2 weeks later. Sent it in again and they sent him a new drill that, as far as I know hasn't had any problems. They said selector had caused all the issues.
I had that problem evry once in a while in the beginning. Now mine didnt click every time like yours is doing it at all. Mine also stopped doing it after using it a while. I think mine was mainly if you pressed to hard at the bottom. If you oressed at the top of the trigger it didnt happen. And again, it doesnt happen at all now.
im a big milwaukee m18 guy. All of my milwaukees dont have any issues with the trigger but it is a very common issue with the triggers being problematic. Its a quality issue that they need to address asap
Yep..I also got a spanky new m18 fuel gen 3..and it works perfect...
Just bought one. No issues at all! Maybe QC problem that has been resolved?
I had a problem with mine. It would work, then not. Then it would even turn when I had the F/R in the center. I went to Milwaukee and they gave me a new one. My advice is to record your issue and present the evidence. Easy peazy.
i have this gen3 EU version , i have no issues like that. Only issue i have when i swap from reverse to forward i tend to not press all the way, and then it just dont work :D
No issues with mine, that sucks..pretty happy with mine... converting from Dewalt their batteries really, really pissed me off.
Vaticider69 what was wrong with deshits battery?
@@haydengregory8275 heh, I bought so many 18v batteries in a 4 year period that I stopped using cordless for 2 years...I'd run a cord under a house (Plumber) instead of dropping another 90.00 on a battery.... been pretty happy with Fuel so far... The 67 dollar rechargeable flashlight kind of sucked though..
Vaticider69 dewalt a batteries are that shitty?
Vaticider69 I’ve had no problem with none of my Milwaukee batts all charge and recharge no problem
@@haydengregory8275 good to hear, had mine for about 6months now only issue I have is with the (sazall) lock, need to keep it lubricated or it stiffens up pretty fast.. never had any issues when they use to be allen keys...
In my case the problem happens in backwards mode. I just saw the video on how to fix it.
Another is the electronic clutch doesn't work speed 1 or 2 are the same from 1 to 14 clutch settings behave the same way.
Hi Redemption Garage,
Wow, i hope milwaukee can fix this issue with this drill. I use both battey line but still didn't get this drill yet. I basically use the DeWalt DCD791 just because i don't really need the hammer part. I do like the Milwaukee m18 gen 3 (1/4") impact drill
If you check out 94 GT Coupe videos he had this issue with the milwaukee trigger on the same drill and he goes step by step on how to fix this issue.
Funny how when dewalt has a flaw in their tools people call it a junk tool and company. When milwaukee has a issue it's called a flaw, too funny. I'm like you i like to use good tools. Everyone is forgetting that this was the same thing when everyone was using corded tools. Just get the best tool.
Good luck and keep us posted on the fix issue.
It’s the marketing scheme by red china. These guys get the most views reviewing red toys. When this guy gets big enough they will start sending him tools to try out. Don’t you find it odd most tool channels right now are “reviewing” the 3ah HO batteries??? A week before it was the red China string trimmer??? They are using these guys to push their shit and these millennials are eating it up like a pig in shit. Sheeple!!!!
I have the same problem with 12vlt. Impact drill. But the power of it beats that little problem
I have 2 of these 2804's and 1 of them did this exact same thing, while the other did not no matter how much i tried. I fixed the one that did this and it's such a simple fix, but you have to take all the screws out and open it up. The black slider that changes the direction has a T like divider. I took an xacto knife and shaved it slightly so the trigger will slide thru like it's suppose to. Problem gone. This one happen to be the one i got off a seller on offer up for $80.00 bucks so i had nothing to lose. Not a big deal unless you have no skill at opening these up.
I find Milwaukee's to be easily serviceable so i am glad i bought them.
Thanks for the heads up Mike!
Good to know. I'll have to do that too. Pretty surprised Milwaukee didn't catch that. They're usually very good In the quality control dept.
we in the uk would call that a friday afternoon drill, the guys making them on that day just want to get home for the weekend
I kinda have an update already...after gently forcing it pass the click about 8-10 times it went away and I can't get it to stick again...solved?..I don't know..
After watching this video I tried to replicate the same thing with my Gen 3 M18 and gave up after about 5 minutes. What ever I did, in reverse and forward, the trigger was butter smooth. You must be very unlucky to cop two in a row.
Could be brother. I tried one on the shelf at home depot and it did not do it either. I have heard mixed answers from everyone some people have had the problem and some people have not so I am not the only one unlucky lol. It may be a qa issue. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience I appreciate you.
Lube side selector with silcone grease i seen that in black decker drills
I'm taking my gen 3 to work tomorrow. Mainly inch and a half holes through 2x but a few 3 5/8 and sometimes stacked pieces. I'll see how it does compared to the hole hawg
The hole hawg is a beast....especailly with the quick lock feature.
@@melsmobileservices4223 I have that one. Check my channel. Don't a always fit in tight spots and about 30th over head hole of day I'm over it lol. Anything bigger than a 3 in I'll still use my hole hawg unless this drill holds its own pretty well. I know it'll do the smaller holes and ones through single layer 2x no problem but the stacked and bigger holes I think would kill the poor drill
I have had this issue a few times on a few different gen 3 Milwaukee tools
As a tool guy I know it bothers you as it would me... No way I would live with it... The squeaky hinge gets the oil! Send it back, if they want our business they have to do right. 😃👍
Probably the best advise lol. Thanks for watching and commenting brother
100% for the price it needs to work right. No reason to ‘deal’ with slop, it isn’t from Harbor Freight lol
Just bought mine off amazon and noticed this problem immediately. I bought it to replace my gen 2 that just took a shit. If the trigger keeps cuh chunking its gonna get on my nerves
My drill stalls when I pull the trigger quickly twice. shutters and stops spinning especially on low speed setting
My gen 3 drill n impact have no issues at all.
I bought last year M18 brushless hammer drill and impact driver combo kit, and I found that my impact driver had something going on with the brain box because I could pull the trigger all the way back and either wouldn't work or it would go at half throttle. So I returned it to Home Depot and picked up a new combo kit, and I haven't had a problem since that impact driver has fallen down roofs and it gets slid underneath cars, but the drill is hypersensitive, if you rattle it around the light will turn on if you put the thing in neutral and you moved the drill around the light will turn on, the damn things like my ex girlfriend
I had the same issue, kinda, with my 2763 impact, had it since the day it came out over 5 years ago, never had to have anything fixed, still works fine to this day, but I made the mistake of using a 9.0 on it, and damaged the frame after a few months of use, wore out where the locks sit in the tool for the battery, bought the gen 2 impact which did NOT have this issue, and I have plenty of milwaukee tools that use the same trigger style, I have taken apart the 2763 before to grease the hammer portion and noticed how the trigger mechanism works, you should just return it again and get a new one, some triggers in these tools are just sloppy, different factories I guess.
I hope Milwaukee recall all the unit and resolve that problem and also impact driver collet it loose.
Have same issue with the gen 3 thought it was just me as well!!
I too am dealing with the same problem. Errrrrrr.... Delt with it. Love the tool though overall.
Mine does it too! Since day one of using it.
I just had the same issue with my brand new Ridgid impact driver out of a 5 piece kit. Returned it and the second one was better but still a bit sticky if the directional switch not heavily pushed in to forward. The others were fine though. Quality control departments need to step it up by TTI. Also, Same trigger source company?
Haven't had an issue with my m18 fuel hammer drill, but mu M12 fuel hammer drill trigger feels this way
Here is my experience with Milwaukees and warranty and turn over, as well as with the drill...
I had to send in my 7 1/4" circular saw (gen 1) for warranty for a similar issue, would spin up, then die and not turn over at all, then i'd leave it for 20 minutes.. it work fine, sometimes a few days would go by and have no issues... then it got worse out of no where like yours but would randomly spin up the motor and run long enough to use. This went on for about a day or two before I decided I was going to fill out for a warranty claim, then the trigger stopped working completely while I was cutting siding for a house I was working on (rockboard). Like zero hum, no turn or even a click, it was 100% not working. I was tempted to crack it open and see if i could fix it, but I decided to just file first and see how big of a deal it was to send it to a repair center.
So that same day I decided to test out the warranty and went on the website and filled out all the information and serial number and printed out the label and sent it in. Had it back within a week from their vegas location, which was much sooner then they said it would be, they installed a new trigger with a different serial number apparently (from the gen 2 I think). They've had a lot trigger issues on the tools, seems to be a random but common issue on the tools. The saw had worked for a good year, did a lot of work... its not as powerful as the dewalt saw, but it was lighter and easier to use for the work I was doing hanging off stuff and overhead.
Also to note, I do have the 2804-22 Gen 3 Drill and I've used it for close to a year now and haven't encountered any issues at all... yet!
Milwaukee all the way I still got the hammer drill driver gen 2 ONE-KEY™
Don't put it past them that they send you back your same drill. Are you sure that is actually a different drill than the one you returned?
I've sent my gen 3 drill in for chuck issues and they had it for a month
What was the issue? Runout?
Same like mine.. I open and file it there's some video on youtube how to fix it.
Man mine had similar problem they fixed it under warranty said it was a electronic problem
Placed order 2 days ago, then found out about sticky trigger issue and the occasional drill stops on quick trigger depression. Was already dis hearted about my purchase and thought of cancelling my order. But upon receiving I immediately tested it for those issues and found neither. It is 2020 manufactured and EU version, so I don't know if they have fixed the issues? Or is it present in us versions only. Anyway feeling lucky I didn't receive a lemon.
I have several products from Milwaukee of various ages none of my tools do this but you should probably swap it out with another and if it’s the same 3 strikes and your out. I’m a huge Milwaukee fan so I’d give them another shot
My dewalt impact has the exact same problem. So I bought another one and it did it to. It has to be the triggers in these drills.
I've had it happen on my fuel 1/4 " impact, But one thing I have noticed with both the hammer drill and the impact is, The through body forward reverse toggle. This has happened hundreds of times where I will be in forward and something lightly I mean lightly shifts that toggle 1/ 8th of an inch and it stops. Like frozen stops not forward not backwards. This is a design flaw. Everything I have is fuel . I love Milwaukee but I have to point out their BS. However the skillsaw 6 1/4 ? It has a faulty switch I have been through 3 of those skill saws where the switch doesn't engage and the motor freezes. I was so mad about the 3rd time I didn't wanna wait for it to get sent to me so I tore it apart myself. I fixed it. And I was also able to disengage that stupid safety. For decades we have [ ALL ] used regular skill saws with the shield up and no safety ? OF COURSE ! Have you ever jumped on a skill saw worm drive after using the Milwaukee skill saw with its safety trigger for a couple of years? ITS DANGEROUS! With the fuel skill saw have you ever had a hard reach cut and your arm is fully extended and you don't have the Argonautics to use your thumb for the trigger? I'm telling you it's dangerous that trigger safety is dangerous. besides that it doesn't work I have had 3 of those 6 1/4 freeze up on me. I love Milwaukee, and for now I will stay with them. It's been about 15-20 years, But they need to come out with a fuel 7 1/4 skillsaw with the motor on the right side not on the left, I mean how stupid was that ? And it needs to have more power because that 6- 1/4? it cuts very accurately but it is just gutless. MILWAUKEE NEEDS TO PUT URGENCY INTO THEIR TOOLS.
I got one from amazon as well and had trigger issues. Not just the sticking trigger, but if you pull the trigger repeatedly while a battery is installed, sometimes the drill does not even power up on some trigger pulls. It should go every time you pull the trigger, but on some pulls you get nothing. I sent it back. I started to look for a different seller, and noticed that everywhere i looked for this drill, it comes in a plastic bag, and not in a factory retail box. Why is that? Is the internet flooded with defective versions of the tool? Is this tool only available in a combo unit and it is being separated from the kit and sold individually? I need a good m18 hammer drill, but I don't want a defective one.
Just seen this video.. DOM-1907 same drill model.. none of my Gen 3 Milwaukee stuff do it.
I just got one and have no issues. It's been a couple of years so maybe they changed something.
No trigger problems But the electronic clutches do not work correctly. The clutch doesn't respond like a mechanical clutch so the drill will rip from your hands. Damaged my gen 3 on the 1st trigger pull. So I use an old dewalt while my overpriced red one sits.
no I don't have issue with mine from 2997-22 set ,however mine has wobble chuck but no run out on bit so it is fine
Totally have been through the same issues. Not bad luck its a flaw. I will never waste my time and money w Milwakee again. Drills, Impacts and Drivee brushless or not the triggers dont last more than a 20 uses. THE SHORT IN THE TRIGGER FAILURE COMES FROM THE DRILL MOTOR GETTING HOT! The triggernis a side effect to the heat. Imho
I have a sort of similar problem but during drilling it shuts off. The trigger does slightly jam but it’s nothing major. I’m wondering if it’s the sensor in the trigger or something in the motor that causes the drill to shut off during drilling. I’m using this drill specifically in hammer mode to drill through marble
Mine was exactly the same way. In forward when the drill is turned to the right, the switch has too much slop and clicks hard on the trigger. I went to Home Depot and opened up two there. One clicked, one did not, so I swapped it out. Extremely irritating that they have that many with issues.
I have 2 gen 3 drills and they both work fine. Might just have to return and get a new one.
Have the same exact problem with the new 1/4 hex impact (2857-20)
How is the chuck on that gen3. I've gone through 3 gen2 drills, all have a crappy chuck that slips and bits fall out frequently. Milfuckee only give 3 months warranty on the chuck.
I have the same exact problem and l exchange the drill and the second one works perfect
The one I just got for free after buying the 199.00 charger and 2 battery deal from Home Depot the trigger smooth
My one someone stole from me had that problem last year. Odd shit!
my Deawlt dcd 796 after the 3 months of use just stopped working drilling through a 2x4 running electrical wire
With 1 inch spade bit. I sent it into Deawlt for repair the had to replace the whole motor and some other shit.
Sold all my Deawlt stuff after that!
Mine doesn't have this issue, it gets hot when hammer drilling, and the chuck wobble is pretty bad but no trigger issue
Wow what are the odds that I came across this video I bought the gen three kit with drill impact and hacksaw thing a couple months ago and yesterday was the first day I really got to actually use the drill for a little bit and my trigger did the same exact thing in forward too I don’t know if it does it in reverse. But that problem pisses me off we pay a lot of money for the “new” drill that shouldn’t have any problems Milwaukee should recall them or something this situation isn’t cool at all I like Milwaukee but it seems like they aren’t saying anything so that they don’t have to recall them or something. And I also noticed with my drill it gets really hot that it’s hard to hold onto the drill. That’s not cool either. I’m thinking of returning it if I can still or something not cool Milwaukee. I wasn’t even looking for this video or didn’t search anything about Milwaukee drills and this was in my home page what are the odds of that crazy.
OMG I had the same problem!!!!!!!
yeah i just bought the kit for like 499 and boithe the impact and hammer drill fsil inder load and over heat plus the hammer drill trigger sticks
jest got kit for 250 😎
I think you nailed it a design flaw or rushed design or not enough testing. They should pay you for the testing and report. I recently bought the dewalt 996 for around $93 and liked it so I bought another. I am not prejudice against any brands appreciate your review information and time into this video. I was just watching red/yellow battles, hoping I bought a quality drill. I think I will be okay.
Have the identical drill, just tried it and does not do what your does. Trigger is fine in both positions
