Milwaukee Handle Assembly
Model Number: 31-44-0228
The Milwaukee 31-44-0228 is a genuine OEM Handle Assembly for the 2607-20 M18 1/2 in. Hammer-Drill. The handle assembly is the rear grip body of the tool, made up of the left and right handle halves, and it forms the primary grip surface the operator uses to hold and control the drill while housing the switch, forward and reverse shuttle, wiring, and battery terminal interface inside it. It is the structural section that ties the operator's grip to the tool, so its integrity matters both for comfortable, secure handling and for keeping the electrical components it encloses protected and correctly positioned. A handle that is cracked, broken, or worn compromises grip security, can expose the internal components, and undermines safe operation, so it needs to be replaced to restore a solid, safe tool body. This assembly includes the housing screws needed to reassemble the handle, so you have the handle halves and the mounting hardware in one part. Using the correct genuine Milwaukee OEM handle assembly ensures the exact handle geometry, internal boss locations, and switch and shuttle cutouts the 2607-20 was built around, which an aftermarket or mismatched handle cannot be counted on to provide.
Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, always verify your tool's serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before placing your order, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number. This handle assembly is documented at Figure 10 on the 2607-20 service parts list. Please note that on this tool the switch is a separate service part: Milwaukee lists it as the Electronics Assembly, ordered separately as 23-66-0296, which consists of the switch, circuit board, LED, and battery terminal block, and it transfers into or is ordered alongside this handle. The handle assembly provides the handle halves and their housing screws; the forward and reverse shuttle, spring washers, and electronics assembly are separate parts that transfer from your existing tool or are ordered individually, so refer to your tool's parts diagram for the correct companion part numbers and quantities. When servicing the handle, note the wiring routing before disassembly so the electronics and switch reinstall correctly.
