Working with E-replacement Parts
I recently ordered the Handle lever for a Milwaukee circular saw. All I did was write down the Brand and model number, which I looked up on the website. Ordering is simple and the part arrived quickly. I have ordered many parts for different tools, especially older tools, to keep them in running order and there has only been one time I couldn't find the part I needed. I recommend this site to anyone needing to keep their appliances or tools working. This site is a great money saver too.

Great, fast service
Replacement part was identical to original. Saw disassembly and installation instructions would have been helpful.

The blade guard stuck. When I set the saw down, it backed up over the cord. The handle adjustment lever broke when re-assembling it.

Noisey bearings, damaged cord
Richard - June 28, 2017

Circular Saw
Difficulty

Time
More than 2 hours
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Pliers, Socket set, Wrench Set, Nutdriver, Torq drivers, T-20, T-25
Completely disassembled saw, cleaned all of the parts with mineral spirits and some degreaser soap and water. Bearing removal was the most time consuming, but having a couple of years working in a electric motor repair shop helped ease the job. I'm retired and every day is Saturday, and you do what ever you want on Saturday, working on the project whenever ya wanna. This job was for a friend who makes his living remodeling old houses. The on line parts list and schemes are also a benefit. The saw was a Milwaukee and the model was one of the better quality ones which does help make it easier. These are fun jobs I enjoy doing, working with my hands. Will be 79 on September 11. Helped family marry off oldest grandson June 17 in East Jordan, MI and will be in Bozeman MT over Labor day week end to marry off youngest grandson. So repairing tools comes in between. Do appreciate good service from ereplacementparts.

I lifted the lever & could see the adjustment screw that must be loosened to pull out the assembly far enough to remove the cross pin holding the lever. On reassembly adjust the screw to allow the handle to move easily but still lock down.
