Milwaukee Electric Tools

Jim of Oxford, MI November 17, 2009

On October 28th I was using the Portaband Saw cutting aluminum extrusion and I made 2 vertical cuts and had to make a horizontal cut when I attempted to turn the saw sideways I had to let go of the foreward handle to make the cuts. Because there is no handle on the side of the saw, the saw started to fall. I had to increase my grip with the left hand and when I did the saw started up because there isn't a safety on the saw to prevent premature starting of the saw.

On Friday 5/22/2009 I was installing my toolbox in the bed of my truck using a milwaukee 1/2 in Magnum drill,0-850 RPM 0300-20 electric pistol drill,when I was drilling a hole to mount my toolbox for my truck the drill bound on me in which normaly is'nt a problem,but what the problem was is that the drill wouldn't stop, shut off the switch on the drill stuck and the drill continued to still run in the on position,in which the drill was going around and around tangling the cord of the drill into a knot in which then the cord tryed to get my whole hand,but I pulled back and the cord still got the tip of my finger to my nuckle on my right ring finger breaking my bone by twisting it,then proceeding to liturly twisting off my finger with liturly just about a hair holding on my finger.

I was rushed to the hospital by my wife almost bleeding to death for it cut my two arties in my finger.The hospital stiched my finger back on,then sending me later to a specialist with me not knowing if I was going to loose my finger or not the doctors said,it would depend on if my finger would mend or not I had a 50/50 chance on my finger living or not,my finger lived and is healing.I did some reseach on the net to see if this happened to anyone else and this is how I found you consumer affairs,and on your site I found that milwaukee and dewalt drills on 5/10/2001 are having to recall about 58,000 drills due to the (same reasons) the switches sticking on the on position and posing injury to consumers like me,and milwaukee back then had four reports of switches sticking in the on position and one report of a hand injury on their drills.

18vdc battery NiCd Cat. # 48-11-2230 I have had a number of complaints about the batterys not lasting but just a short time and going dead and not being able to charge them but just a few times... I also have had this happen to me with the 18vdc battery I listed above... I charged mine only 3 times and it will not take a charge.
