I have a Milwaukee M18 Fuel Brushless Impact wrench model number 2763-20 that has a problem. Nothing happens when I press the trigger and the LED light blinks 6 times. I don't know what the problem is and so I opened it up to investigate. In this video, I'm just going to show you what's inside this impact. It is still under warranty so I'll send it back to Milwaukee for repair. I'm not going to attempt to repair it. I will also show you different versions of this impact wrench as a comparison.
Update: I sent the tool back to Milwaukee for repair and this was what happened. Check this out:

The fact that Milwaukee addressed this trigger control issue is the reason why I buy their products. They don't just put a product on the shelf and forget about it, they constantly listen to their consumer base to see what they can do better. Also, the reason why this is packed to the gills with electronics is for a few reasons, firstly to reducpe likelihood of tool damage while being misused by the operator, secondly for the brushless motor needing to know the position of the rotor so it can pulse the electromagnets at the proper time.

Sorry you got a dud right out of the box. Sadly that happens time to time from every manufacture. I've had the Milwalkee 2763 for a couple years, it's been dropped many times, left out in the rain, fell in some deep snow and it still works great.

Definitely a design flaw for this model. Did they repair it or did they send you a totally different new one? The model numbers on the label are the same but they are totally different inside.

When you showed the back of the tool I saw that the housing screws had been loosened up. When this is done then the motor rotor is no longer in line and so the motor is locked up - the rotor can not spin.

Question for Milwaukee specialists: I have a Milwaukee M18 FMTIW2F12 that has an interesting bug. When I press the switch, the machine spins and diode number 3 (third gear) lights up for a long time. Only when the diode turns off is it possible to change the direction of rotation and start again. In addition, the maximum speed (diode number 3) cannot be changed. In order for it to work at all and not to wait for diode number 3 to go out, I remove and put back the battery. That means to change the wheels on a car that has 5 screws, I have to remove and put back the battery 10 times. Once I press the switch, I must not stop until the job is done, otherwise there will be a long pause or re-inserting and removing the battery. Impact wrench M18 FMTIW2F12 with 881 Nm loosening torque and 745 Nm torque Extremely compact design with a length of only 152 mm. Which I found in the trash (500 $) that I want to fix... ................. Eureka! I repaired my impact wrench today. The error was in the brown main switch. To make it even more fun, I found the machine and the spare part in the trash. Maybe my experience will help someone who has similar problems? Greetings from Switzerland

Why would you take it apart. It has a 5 year warranty......and I'll bet wherever you bought it would take it back within 30 days. Weird......

I want to start Milwaukee makes bad-ass tools I would be grateful if they had my tool back in 2 weeks not caring how they fix it . I've had One tool replaced by them And they did a spot on job And if you're worried about it going out of warranty after 5 years They probably did not want you as a customer anyways Sometimes stuff breaks and you get new stuff that's better that's how these tools work

Get the Kobalt 24v brushless version instead...doesn't have as many bells and whistles, but the warranty's better and the quality is comparable (or better, given this video!)

I soldered in a 3/4 gun trigger assembly into a 1/2 impact gun exactly like the one in the video , I'm a heavy diesel mechanic Aprentice not a sparky by any means , but interested in everything , the boxes both fit , same amount of wires and same color insulated wire sleeves , so matched them all up soldered away , and it came up with the 6 flashing lights like in this video , was hoping for some insight

The defective one's inside looks very much like Ridgid Gen5X brushless drill. That has the same motor design, and fwd/rev switch was also triggered by separate switch on the small board. And... that failed in an year. (Was not mine, though) Recent brushless motors are, unlike brushed motors, everything comes as a package. You cannot just replace the motor. You have to buy the entire inside circuitry. That makes your own repair a lot harder...

5 year warranty today Simply means you pay 5 Times the price that it cost them to make it last ONE Year .. PS A lot of Rich people dont worry about Warranty and just so long as it lasted a few years, they'll just but another .. and tell Everyome that they got a good run ...😢🤪

If the LEDs are on but motor doesn't run then it's probably dead. It has complicated motor controller board and if that's fried, the drill is useless. There's usually another board underneath at the base. You don't see it because it is submerged inside a black silicone resin. Check on that one. At least the M18 2763 has one board like that at the base.
