Once mine would not do anything. I just turned the torque setting from hammer to drill and back a few times and turned the torque to 1 and back to full again. I'm not sure if it was a connection or what but worked fine and am a few hundred holes later fine along with a few playsets, forts, and many other projects.

I have a Milwaukee that has refused to work and then it does. Makes me think the battery is dead but it isn't. As Riverscum says it's a trigger switch issue.
I live in the midwest now but have fond memories of fishing in New England as a kid.

Just a thought also, if you purchased the drill 2 yrs ago it is more than likely still under warranty.   Milwaukee tools have date codes so if you don't have your receipt they could use the date code tag if readable.   I have many Milwaukee tools and only had a couple of issues with any of them.   1 was a trigger problem as well and Milwaukee repaired them free of charge.  That particular drill, I had bought refurbished and never worked when I received it, but the local repair shop took it in and repaired it free including parts and labor within 2 days. 
Best of luck to ya!
