Broken handle, frayed cord
Mark - December 29, 2017

Tools Used

This was an older Milwaukee "Hole Hawg" drill with a broken handle and frayed cord. The correct handle was NLA, so I repaired it with a handle kit from a current unit. The power cord exits the handle in a different spot from the old handle and I missed buying the clamp for the power cable as well as the screws to hold the new handle together. There is a locking button on the older power switch that the new units don't have, so I had to drill the new handle for the button. Other than that, the old switch fit, and I was able to fit the new handle to the old drill. There is a small half-round gap between the new handle and the drill body where the old power cord used to go, but that is easily filled or left as-is. It was nice that in all of the years of production, the engineers at Milwaukee made it so the new parts would still fit the older drills with a minimum of trouble. It's also nice to see an old drill getting a new life with repair parts from eReplacementparts.com!
