m12 milwaukee die grinder- head wobbles

[steveo3002]

got one of these , ive noticed if you hold the handle tight the head will wobble at the seam just above the trigger

anyone else got that? would need to order the tool to open it up and have a look

 

[Ruffian]

Yep same,
But never been fussed as usually got grinding disc or burr on there and not critical conditions.

must just be a loose nut /fixing inside eh/

Is it something to do with anti vibration...
Handy little tool them, nice and light.

Can’t say I have noticed any excessive vibration with mine

Me neither but mine usually has a knock off roloc on it. Great bit of kit.

didnt say vibration...the head isnt rock solid tight on the handle

Mine does the same,but thats only with extreme pressure though,the straight die grinder does the same,but then i dont put a lot of pressure on the tool,i let it do it own work
How the hell i didnt have one of these years ago i dont know,TOP TOOL

 

[Keithmac]

Never really noticed and if it does it doesn't affect anything.

As said above mine is used with Roloc most of the time, brilliant bit if kit!.

Checked mine and it also has movement.
Maybe some sort of vibration damping.

Noticed mine as soon as I got it, which was a year or two ago, since then it has had some hard, and the wobble has gotten no worse, though maybe I do not notice it anymore?
Not a bad tool, but bugger does like to bite and have a mad few seconds when working in tight spaces, I reckon the straight version would be better.

Tbh I think its is bit of a toy, a very handy toy but still a toy, for serious material removal you need the m18 version or air power.
