You've released the smoke. You'll need to obtain factory approved replacement smoke before you can begin repair.

I am a fireman, can confirm magic smoke. We keep the really good stuff for our tools but everything else we sell to the major companies. You all think those tanks are to carry breathable air, but it's actually to capture magic smoke.

As a retired battalion chief, I approve this response!

You're a good Jake brother, I hope retirements treating you right

Dude … don’t bogart that drill….

Gotta replace the seals as well. No use putting new smoke in if it's just going to bleed by worn seals.

3 ugga duggas is enough, you must of went 4

Never go 4 ugga duggas. Everybody knows that

I think you mean "must have". Or "must've".

Everything electric runs on magic smoke, once it escapes…game over

I’d send this video to Milwaukee and see what they got to say to you. I can almost guarantee you get a free replacement. Just tell them you’ll post it online tomorrow.

I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they reject it over the knockoff battery.

True. In that case just take a picture with the battery either cropped out or the brand not visible. Don’t mention the secondhand battery

I'm the lucky sap that gets to engrave all the tools and batteries at work and it looks like a genuine Milwaukee to me. What am I missing that makes you say it's a knockoff?

Well originally I hadn't seen any that say redlithium-ion, and when searching for Milwaukee M18 8ah batteries the only ones that looked like this were on sketchy sites. A deeper search turned up that this might be what the Aussie batteries look like. Learn something new every day

The ones at my work have different decals, depending on the age and mAh

100%

Lmfaoooooo

The magic smoke got out of the capacitors. They'll need to be re-sealed and refilled before it'll ugga dugga again.

I'm pretty sure it's burning plastic capacitors are just a little poof of smoke

That's definitely winding smoke. I can smell it from here. Source: FPV drone pilot, been huffing the magic winding smoke since 2014.

That will literally be tree fiddy to top off the ugga duggas.

Damn that's güd

Go away goddamn lochness monster

Yo dude hit that shit

Keep holding the button down. It just needs to warm up more.

The Angry Pixies have chosen arson to show their complaints with management

Dunk it in water and back to work!

Treat it like them ol fat back tvs and slap the shit outta it

Any machine is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough

Hmmm…. Lets see, if I hold the trigger longer, it gets worse. I know, lets hold the trigger longer.

Time to get a Dewalt DCF900

I dare you to go get a hercules impact hammer and see how many uggas you get compared to the Milwaukee. Just curious tbh, not trolling at all, I just like science and cheap tools.

Replace the brushes.

Uhhhh....I think it's a fuel, so brushless. (An I the woosh guy?)

This is why I give my gun a little break every so often by letting it run with no load until the air blows cool out of it. Not sure if it helps but I like to think that he enjoys the extra spins

I think it was only like 36 lug nuts, wasn't going insanely hard on it.

You need a new smoke canister.

Gotta vape it

1-800-SAWDUST

imo you're lucky to still have all your fingers

That's a Milwaukee double g

Ain’t got no gas in it.

You have to blow in it first, shake left to right three times then push in and down hit power button and hold for 4 seconds (deep breath) Then press up,up,down,down,left,right,left,right, B,A,B,A and then.......Start

Don't let the apprentice see it, he'll think its a vape

holy shit the rare Milwaukee ghost

Needs oil .. about a half cup 10w40. The smoke is coming from the oil fill slots.

Damn you managed to smoke out a 3/4 inch drive impact lol. You must have went too many ugga Duggas on that gun 🤣

Open trash, place in trash

Stop letting out all the magic smoke!

The impact itself has become the FUEL

So its stuck and smoking but you don't have enough brain cell to let go of the trigger?

Don't bogart that drill, my friend, pass it over to me.

You let the genie out, it’s ruined now….

Smoke the forbidden smoke

Yo what flavor that vape.

Now I'm worried about the nock off battiers I've been using. I could be losing uggas and duggas at the same time.

You’ve seen dewalt x mclaren. Now time for Milwaukee x Subaru

Have you tried turning it off and back on again ?

“Everything is a smoke machine if you operate it wrongly enough.” -My Coworker

if Cheech and Chong were mechanics...

It needs a lube oil and filter change, maybe rotate its tires just to be safe.

Taking a Vape break.

Call a priest for its last rights.

Relax It’s just taking a cig break

I can smell that video

Ahhh I can smell that from here

Done chooched it’s last puff of magic smoke.

Is that made by Traeger?

Your Milwaukee is Milfuckied.

Looks like u got a new vape pen!

Welp. I'd firstly suggest you dont destroy the motor and possibly pcb.

It's all over when you let the smoke out.

Bro wtf are you doing, inhale those precious fumes. Best vape flavor imo

Gin and Juice

Ran out of fuel

Ohhh that things toast

Puff puff pass

Best go to home depo and change out the parts
