Milwaulkee warranty is awesome. I would give that route a go.
What model is the drill? If you over torque any drill it will fail corded or not. If the drill you have is one of the lower torque models you shouldn’t use it with an 8” auger. My first Milwaulkee was only 650 inch lbs of torque. Great on a 6” but would have destroyed itself on an 8”. My new one is 1200 inch lb of torque which cuts with zero effort on an 8”. All that said any product can have a bad or weak part. Maybe you just got a bad one off drill.
It’s a 2804-20 model. Not sure on the torque rating but it always drilled fine. It’s about a five year old tool so I will check it out and see if I can get warranty.
Yup that’s the big boy. 1300 inch lbs. for sure contact Milwaukee.

I checked on line at the Milwaukee website by entering the serial number of the drill and it was covered by warranty for another month.
I went to the Milwaukee tool repair place and they said warranty doesn’t cover gears or mechanical parts just electrical problems. Nowhere could I find in fine print that it wasn’t covered.I got fed up with the process and bought the part and switched it myself.

Yep. I had warranty claims denied on three tools by Team Red, so I could no longer justify the premium price.
But, I'll always give them props for superior ergonomic design. Well balanced and compact tools. Just not worth the premium for a hobbyist like me.
