Milwaukee M18 clutch changes settings.
I just noticed yesterday that the clutch on my 2601-21 drill will drop down a setting when the clutch engages. I was hole sawing on 23 and kept finding it reset to 20.
At first I thought it was my grip when the drill bound and rotated. but I changed grip locations and its still doing it.
Anyone else notice this? Wondering if its about to go south on me.
Cheers, Jim

Had the same issue and ended up replacing it with a fuel m18. The clutch simply could not handle any hole or auger bits over 3/4 in. It would jump out of the setting whenever it began to bind up.
No issues with the Fuel model, it's a MUCH better drill kit.

unfortunately the 2601 is not a great drill. Every other M18 drill is quite a bit better.
