Purchased a 110 volt 4 1/2” grinder and used it weekly for a few months and switch broke off due to poor quality materials. And what do you know they won’t warranty it! I’ll never buy another Milwaukee product even the battery powered grinder is weak and pure JUNK!!!
I have a Milwaukee 1/2 pin indent high torque impact wrench Iv had it for less than 8 months and used about 10 times The pin indent has snapped (not the anvil) and Iv been told it’s misuse of the item! Some one please educate me on how to snap a pin indent ? I even had a Milwaukee socket on it. To then be charged 90 to fix it 🤦🏻♂️ That’s with out all the grief of sending it to them via UPS…
