    Ive had three m12 sets for a while. I abuse it and the chuck finally broke on the drill. Would buy again though.

    My mid torque is a beast. I haven't really found a space too tight for it, but that would be the use case. Hindsight being what it is, I don't need all the torque that the mid offers, but I'm glad I have it.

    Have a job this week under a crawlspace. Picked up with M12 Compact Flood Light. 1000/400/200 Lumen. Thing is bright AF.

    I considered that one, but I have more M12 batteries, and I like the slight angle on the M12 version.

    Bonus of the m18 is the articulating light with the magnet base. In a sawmill I can stick this thing anywhere and point it wherever I need. Did you get the free battery with it?

    I have an old house with a crawl space and used my m12 rocket to light the way as I unclogged a drain a couple weeks ago. Can’t beat having light!

    No free battery. But it was on sale for $79. So many Milwaukee displays at HD, it's hard to catch all the deals.

    For this job, I'll be on my back replacing a section of plywood that's attached on the underside of the floor joists. Good times

    Been on a road trip, doing some exploring for the past week or so. Spent a couple days/nights in the desert. Milwaukee came in clutch with multiple uses (string lighting, flashlight, flood light, stereo, charging etc)...

    This light is free with certain Milwaukee kits right now at the HD.

    I saw the deal where it was free with an M12 Charger and battery kit. I've got plenty of both so just grabbed the light on sale for $79.

    Probably a little pricey, for a tool bag, but it holds all I need and more for trade school. Don't have to carry 2 separate bags and worry about my eyepro getting scratched -

    I wouldn't worry too much about scratching eye protection... it gets scratched eventually. I keep three extra sets in my box at work.

    Yep, got 3 pairs, not including the 2 goggles (I don't use them) and 1 faceshield.

    Only thing I'm not happy with regarding my PPE is my respirator.

    I have a beard, and even though I recently trimmed it really short, I still end up pulling hairs as I lift my respirator off :annoyed:
