    Sometimes it just needs a good whack

    I hadn't used my Milwaukee router in a while and when I turned it on I got nothing. Took it apart ,found nothing, put it back together nothing. Checked the plug, nothing, checked the cord, nothing, fiddled with the switch, nothing .Finally I gave it a good whack and it started right up.😊

    LOL, yep sometimes a good whack is all it takes.
    Sounds like the brushes were stuck and that "whack" knocked them loose.
    Glad you got it running again.

    Sounds like you earned yourself a new nickname.

    My old drill press gets used frequently but it nearly got the whack yesterday. I'm thinken it's the switch that needs the whack.

    So instead of being the router whisperer you are the router whacker.
