MILWAUKEE'S Electric Tools 2724-20 M18

Bought this Blower in October of 2019 to blow leaves in my pool to one end to concentrate them there for easier removal. I only used the blower a couple of times for this purpose because the idea didn't really work as well as I had planned, so I hired a pool service to deal with it. I would say I probably used this blower a few more times for general leaf blowing, but I believe I could count the total uses on two hands. On 6/22/23 I had a reason to use the blower again, the blower was in my garage without a battery attached for the whole time in between use's. I plugged a battery in and the light for the speed control came on so it had power to that part, but when I pulled the trigger nothing happened. I swapped batteries to see if that would solve the problem and that didn't work. I then thought maybe it needed the bigger size battery to run, so I got my 9.0 battery off my flashlight and there was still no power. And now a new glitch appeared, after sitting for a while with a 6.0 battery attached, after swapping in the 9.0 battery I noticed the light for the speed control was no longer lighting up it is totally dead now. The blower has a 3 year warranty and I am now 8 months past the warranty coverage. I have a very serious Milwaukee tool addiction and love all my other tools but this blower clearly has (or had) a manufacturing or design defect. Milwaukee probably has already figured this out from people who used their blowers way more than I did and have corrected the problem, so keep that in mind. Mine was manufactured on 02/25/2019, I purchased it on 10/28/2019. I still love my Milwaukee tools and will continue buying their products in the future, they continue to develop extremely innovative products to satisfy my tool addiction, nobody else compares to them in the innovation department. I understand things happen sometimes, whether it be a manufacturing issue or design issue, if I had used it more often I would have discovered the problem well withing the warranty period, 3 years is a fair amount of time to discover a problem like this. I don't know what the cost to repair is going to be yet, I will probably just buy a new one but upgrade to the two battery higher output version, and take this one apart to see what happened, what do I have to loose, the warranty is already void, maybe I can do the repair myself, I like taking things apart to see how they work anyway and have fixed many broken or innoperable things during my lifetime.
