Here is the MSDS for those interested. It also states it's a mineral oil grease. 6PointSocket, where did you see mineral oil mentioned in the other documents I posted? https://documents.milwaukeetool.com/58-97-1220.pdf

Here's a picture of what's in there now, it does smell like a lithium grease. I realize there is nothing wrong with the grease that's there, but if you look hard enough you can see that the gearcase is cracked where somebody tried to engage the blade lock while the saw was still spinning...

Thanks, the price doesn't bother me as bad as having to wait for it because nobody seems to have it in stock. A 1lb tub is around. $20-25. I've sort of taken on power tool repair/refurbishment as a hobby, so I'd use it again. I might call Milwaukee directly and order it from them if the pricing...

Hi, I've got a Milwaukee circular saw I am refurbishing and I need something similar to the "Type Y" grease that they sell. It's kind of expensive for what you get and it's hard to find. Most of y'all are more familiar with different greases and their properties, so I figured it best to ask...

Didn't see anybody mention this one. I saw this store on EBay, so I googled it. I've never been there, so maybe some of the GJ members in Arizona can chime in. I just found out about it earlier today and thought it might fit the criteria for this thread. Robert's Pro Tools 7143 E Southern Ave...

Pretty neat setup there, would like to hear some reviews from those that bought one early on and how they are holding up. Bumping this thread for those that might have missed Rich's last post.

I've also found a decent deal on a used Klein MM2000, what leads would y'all suggest. I see the standard Klein leads for that model are around $12. Not sure how much one could spend on leads, but I was thinking $30 or less. Thoughts?

Bacon, thanks for the information also. I've been buying broken/abused power tools and refurbishing them. I ended up buying a couple different types of Milwaukee grease, because I figured I would use it a handful of times, but it still is a little pricey for what you get. Now Dewalt's grease on...

Did anybody else notice all their tool chests/cabinets are made in Canada. Looks like a SPG made box to me. I wonder where Wright will source their tool boxes now that the SPG plant closed.

Thanks, I bought a Proto ratchet repair kit for $7 shipped.

Thanks, I'm starting to dabble around with repairing electronics. I'd like to know enough to take the mystery out of it a little bit and fix basic stuff that most people would throw away.

Here is a picture:

I forgot to provide an update with what I ended up doing. I got my parts in from Digikey a little over a week ago and soldered the new MOSFETs on. To my surprise the saw actually ran, but I'll have to use it on a few projects before I can confirm it's really fixed. The two MOSFETs were $2.28...

Here's a good reply I got last night on the EEV Blog: +1 to everything T3sl4co1l posted. It's ok to change just the FET and try again, though. If the thing doesn't work anymore, then work your way back and hope you can find the driver and other parts. There are a lot of specs on a FET...

Ha Ha. Yeah, I'm in a little over my head, but I figured if I learn anything it would be worth it. I did contact Milwaukee this morning, I'm waiting on their response. My serial number starts with B57A.

Yes, I know soldering surface mount components is a pain in the but. I don't have much experience but I did make a repair to a Dewalt Oscillating tool last year. I had chipped one of the resistors trying to take the tool apart. I was able to find a replacement online and soldered a new one on...

Where are you talking about? The picture I posted is all the electronics there is. I did look up one Schottky diode on the top of the picture if that's what you are referring to.

Thanks, that was a bit of helpful information. I couldn't figure out the difference between the two parts I linked, did you notice any difference? There's not that many parts on the board, I thought about buying each of those components if replacing the two MOSFETs doesn't work. I know how to...

Yes, I had thought about the warranty, would I have to send it in? Or can they send me a new electronics assembly? Those MOSFETs are about $2 a piece, so I may start with buying them.

Hi, I've posted this on another electronics forum, but I haven't got many answers yet. I figured I'd try asking Garage Journal because folks on here know a little bit about everything. So if anybody knows if the two parts I have linked below will work, I'd appreciate any input. Here's the link...
