Hello,
I recently came across a brand new, never used, never opened Milwaukee 1/2" Magnum 75th Anniversary drill. It has sat untouched since 1998. It works perfectly. I was wondering if you feel like I should re-grease/re-lubricate it. When I opened the box the drill did have a coating of grease on the side that was facing down -- as if over the years of summertime heat the grease softened and succumbed to gravity. What do you think? I've never taken apart a drill before, and am afraid I'd invalidate my warrantee(I actually came with one!). Is it necessary? I'd like to keep this drill going forever, if possible.
Thanks for your advice,
David Wadstrup
