Milwaukee Steel Ring
Model Number: 44-90-0042
The Milwaukee 44-90-0042 is a genuine OEM Steel Ring for the 2788-20 M18 FUEL 1-1/2 in. Lineman Magnetic Drill. On this tool the steel ring is the tie-off, or tether, ring: it provides the dedicated steel attachment point built into the lineman model for securing the drill, which matters when the tool is used up on a structure or at height. This ring is the feature that sets the lineman 2788-20 apart from the standard magnetic drill, and because it is the anchor the tool is tethered to, it needs to be the correct, undamaged OEM steel ring. A bent, cracked, or deformed ring should be replaced rather than used, and the drill should always be secured following the methods and limits in the Milwaukee operator's manual for the 2788-20. Using the genuine Milwaukee OEM steel ring restores the correct attachment point, where a substitute may not fit the mount or hold as intended.
This steel ring is identified as the Steel Ring, Figure 144, on the Milwaukee service parts list for the 2788-20 M18 FUEL Lineman Magnetic Drill, serial G57A, bulletin 54-46-0420. It is specific to the 2788-20 lineman model: Milwaukee lists the tie-off ring as a 2788-20 feature, and the standard 2787-20 magnetic drill does not have this ring, so do not expect it to apply to the non-lineman models. Confirm applicability to any kit or variant version of the 2788 by looking up your catalog and serial number. Because Milwaukee specifies service parts by serial number as well as catalog number, verify your catalog and serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before ordering, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number.
