This Trigger switch has internal terminals and a forward/reverse lever. This authentic Milwaukee replacement part is sold individually. (Variable Speed With Reverse) Switches are commonly replaced parts in power tools. A switch handles all on/off and variable speed functions. They also have a role in electric breaking; they can momentarily reverse electrical polarity. Because switches use mechanical internals, they tend to degrade and wear out over time, eventually requiring replacement. Some common signs of a broken or failing switch are: • The tool will not start when you use the switch, or it requires multiple tries to turn on, until eventually it refuses to start at all. • The variable speed function and electric braking aren't working properly.
Sorry, we couldn't find any existing reviews that matched. Try using some different or simpler keywords.

Worked as expected.
Did some research before I bought this as some others bought the wrong one. Picture looked exact. A little tricky to install but works perfect.

exact replacement
the reversing switch went on my Milwaukee "Hole Shooter", stuck in reverse. I typed the model # into the ereplacement search, clicked on the part, and in a few days, I was doing the repair. Perfect match. I hope to get another 20 years out of this $300 tool!

Wrong part send
Even though I gave them the correct Milwaukee part number, I still received the wrong part. Return was easy and free.

only available replacement part
The part is fine, but I was replacing a previous version, and I couldn't find the exact wiring diagram for my model drill (my beef with Milwaukee), so it was a bit of trial and error to get it wired up correctly. I used the 'light bulb wired in series' set up so I wouldn't burn out the motor or the switch as I stumbled through where to connect the wires. The switch is also a tad thicker than the original, so I had to file down a nub on each side of the handle, and the same for the back side of the trigger. But I got it to fit, and work, and had a sense of accomplishment after spending 3 hours at it.
