Milwaukee electric 1/2" impact disaster in the making.

There is a vid where they dis-assemble them both to see exactly what the difference is. It's all in the hammer area, which shouldn't be a surprise. Also runs heavier gauge wiring...

Took my milwaukee apart today...



Couldn't figure how to get that tight ass spring off the cam without killing myself to death.

Put it back together, seems to work...

There ya go!!

I have been considering buying one of these. They are the batteries I’m already running (& I’ve got one small one if space is an issue).

Picked up another one today for my daughter. She giving it to her boyfriend for Xmas!

Made damn sure the serial # was the good one! 96A

Thanks @ Big Ray!

Dang.
Good info. Thanks for posting.

It’s almost time for me to replace my old one. It’s been in service for about 5
Years now.
Still works but sounds like bearing noise.

Was looking at the brushless one.

…Maybe I should crack it open first

 

[Big Ray]

No need. Just check the model number on the box.
96 A=Good
96 B=Bad

That is a great find sir. Thanks for posting.

I immediately went and looked at my new one, and thankfully is a H96A

 

[Big Ray]

Gotta give props to Milwaukee. They jumped on the ball pulling the "B" units.
Of course, I still have mine...
I need to figure out how to disassemble the cam unit without destroying it or myself...

Nothing like a big youtube channel outing your BS to prompt some action...
