Milwaukee Drill Brake Noise

Hello,

I’m new here and new to woodworking.  I purchased a Milwaukee 2606 22ct compact drill yesterday.  Out of the box, the drill brake makes a ratcheting noise.  I know other drills stop silently.  Is this unique to Milwaukee or is there a problem with the drill?

Thanks,

Doug

That is not normal, exchange it.

If I have my Dewalt drill on very low clutch settings, it often clicks once or twice when braking. The motor stops but the chuck still has momentum, so the clutch slips a bit. At least I think that’s what’s happening. 

Probably not related to what you’re experiencing though. It doesn’t sound right. 

Thanks guys.
