Milwaukee over priced poor quality Ive had Milwaukee m18 tools for 10+ years and not one tool from the last two generations has lasted more than 4months before needing repaired then your left having to buy another tool to replace it while you wait 2-4weeks im slowly changing to 40v Makita they seem to be holding up better. I'm a carpenter FYI figured it's time to get people away from this brand way over priced for what you get

DO NOT BUY FOR ACCURACY I am a Milwaukee guy. My whole shop is Milwaukee, so when I needed a mitre saw, it was an easy choice. Wrong. The 12" mitre saw (6955-20) may be powerful, but that's it. Had difficulty from the beginning with binding and cuts that weren't straight. As in , there are steps along a 6" cut. Finding that the fence was bent, I was sent a new one hoping this would solve my issues. With this, the binding stopped but still had an uneven cuts. Called customer service and 20 year Milwaukee technician and heard from 3 different people that this is NOT a finish saw. This saw is only good for rough carpentry. Wish I would have known this before spending $575. I see now why it has been decreasing in price over the past year. Do not buy this if looking for accuracy, words straight from Milwaukees technicians. Then was told by them to purchase a DeWalt or Bosch and that was the best they could do. Blown away.

1) Feeling Fleeced nMy Milwaukee one-key 1/4"impact… 1) My Milwaukee one-key 1/4"impact stopped working at 2 years 3 months 2) Brushless 1/2" Hammer drill went to half power then died At 1 year 1month. 3) I bought a 12amh & 8amh high output batteries packaged together the 12amh doesn't work in any of my remaining 5 Milwaukee tools & the 8amh stops one click shy of a full charge. I paid $225 for the pair. Milwaukee is at the APEX in cordless tools for Power & Speed. It's disheartening to read these reviews about what seems to be a worsting systemic fleecing of loyal customers.

I have a m18chpx I have a m18chpx, rotary hammer drill and kango,, it's almost 2 years old but is very rarely used , is kept boxed in the van and only used when something's wrong with our corded machine . In the time I've had it it wouldn't have 5 hours working time on it as can be seen by it's condition which is like new . It has already been in for repair only a couple of months after purchase for the same problem it has now again , cannot change between modes , switch will not move . If I had used this machine there may be some excuse for the failures but to be honest this is ridiculous . I have over 5000 euro worth of Milwaukee tools and this is putting me off buying them again . I could not recommend them to anyone .

Useless customer service and service center Until they do something with their customer service hours and service center turn around time, its better to spend the extra few bucks and get high quality brand. Warranties are as good as garbage. 2:30pm PST and their customer service center is closed.
