Milwaukee Tools

I love my M12 Milwaukee power ratchet and angle drill. Use them more than I realized I would.

"If you have the means I highly recommend picking one up."

M12 6ah on sale for $119 at depot right now

absolutely love my m12 surge


I am a contractor and absolutely beat my tools to hell, can’t say enough good things about Milwaukee. Mostly have m18 stuff but a few select m12’s are simply must haves

 

Do they ever have sales/specials on 2 of those batteries?

 

I believe they have 2 3.0 for $99 as well

 

I took advantage of that for the 2 3.0's that I bought.

 

I have one 6ah, two 4ah and a pile of the 2ah batteries. The circular saw needs at least a 4, runs fantastic on a 6. The 4s are perfect for the sawzall and nice in a drill/screw gun if youre going to work it all day. The 2ah batteries are nice because they are tiny but the theyll last really well for normal drill usage. Worthless at standing the light up though, a gentle fart will tip the light when using little battery as a base. I love the light but its so damned clumsy. Worth it for the warm light and battery life though.

I use them at home but I use them all day at work tearing car interiors and exterior trim apart and battery life has yet to cross my mind. If you have the gun on screw/no clutch, it will definitely check your wrist strength, it's happened a few times by accident. Oof. It'll snap or strip threads too.

 

The three best in my opinion are the portable bandsaw, copper pipe cutter and the pvc cutter.

 

Anyone have any experience with the M18 finish guns or brad nailers?

 

They work well and battery life is pretty good. But if you’re going to do large projects go air powered.

 

Here's the kit I assembled. Just the start as I'll be adding more.

 

I have the M12 Rover light, I like it. All my other tools are M18.

Home Despot has great sales, lots of times with free batteries and what not.

 

I bought the 5 tool combo last Christmas. Non fuel and they work great. I just bought it mainly for the ratchet. But I soon found myself looking at all their line up. Ended up buying the 3/8 stubby impact to remove the lug nuts. Was invaluable when I did front end. Just got the 1/2 inch recently though. Will be selling the 3/8.

 

I added the M12 Jig Saw not too long ago. Amazing balance/weight distribution right above the blade. Used it to rip a scribed piece of door trim. Feels and works better than my Bosch corded jig saw.

 

Home Despot had a sale, $150 with free battery. I couldn’t resist.

 

You got a good deal! Highly recommend the driver kit, I put together a cabinet installation kit centered around it last month. It’s surprisingly powerful for the size

 

E bay got some good deals on new in package batteries . Surprised they shipped to Hawaii (had to look for sellers who would ) and even free shipping .

 

Anyone have any experience/feedback on either the M12 or M18 Wet/Dry Vacs? Looks like a nice option for small jobs.

 

my employer has them, they work great for pulling mice thru conduits, cleaning up small messes and sucking up water. Would definitely recommend.

 

Thank you.

Do you know if they're M12 or M18? I'm currently all M12 and would like to stick with it, but would consider M18 Wet/Dry Vac if it's worth it.
