Milwaukee's M.O.: Maintenance- (Mostly) Free
Here's the thing: unlike your grandpa's old ratchet that needed more pampering than a Persian cat, Milwaukee electric ratchets are designed to be relatively maintenance-free. They're built tough to withstand the rigors of the jobsite, and their internal workings are sealed to keep dust and debris out.
So, greasing one of these bad boys might be like trying to teach your dog to use a napkin – admirable effort, but probably not necessary.
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
When the Grease Monkey in You Gets Greasy Fingers
But hey, maybe you're a mechanic who thrives on a little extra ritual. Maybe you just enjoy the feeling of giving your tools the royal treatment. If that's the case, and you're absolutely determined to give your Milwaukee a greasing, well...we can't stop you. Just be aware that there likely isn't a dedicated grease fitting on your electric ratchet like you might find on some pneumatic models.
In that case, you'd be venturing into uncharted territory, and Milwaukee might not exactly be giving out gold stars for your efforts (warranty-wise, that is).
QuickTip: Focus on one paragraph at a time.
But hey, if you're feeling adventurous (and maybe a little handy), there are some online resources that discuss alternative methods. Just be sure you know what you're doing before you go poking around the inner workings of your favorite power tool.
Remember, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of… well, a bricked Milwaukee.
