Milwaukee Hammer Drill stuck in Hammer mode?

[Matt Meiser]

My M18 hammer drill is stuck in hammer mode. Anyone know a trick to disengage or do I need to send it in for repair or use it as an excuse to replace the Fuel version (recons are $99, so that might be the way to go?)

I would give Milwaukee a call and see if there is something you can do.

I had...they said bring or send it in.

Well, I found out last weekend that I could actually send it in on their dime so I packaged it up and my wife dropped it at a local Fedex dropoff on Monday. Fedex just brought a box (expected it to be from Verizon ;)) and it was my drill, all repaired. The address on the outgoing box was MS, but it came back from Livonia, MI so they must redirect them enroute to the fastest available location. From the notes, the chuck screw had backed out and trashed the chuck and gearbox. It looks like the local repair facility billed Milwaukee $130 for the repairs, more than I paid for the bare drill!

Now I have no excuse not to finish installing some stuff in the basement.
