Milwaukee Tools

I think that’s an okay deal. I see the fuel tool only go for $100 on ebay/Craigslist/offer up. But if u need the kit, it kinda makes sense.

Also recently see the DeWalt 20v osc tool with battery kit for $99 at lowes

Y'all are costing me some moneys today, been wanting a pole saw and my Kobalt blower hasn't been holding charge too well...

Anyone else’s M12 charger get warm when charging batteries?

I just got the M12 Stubby impact w/4.0 battery. The charger gets pretty warm when it’s charging. And it has a smell.

What weird is that I pulled it out to check and see if the battery was hot. (It wasn’t)
And when I put it back it. The charger said the battery was fully charged. Weird.
The impact also said it was full too. So maybe I pulled it out just as it was “full”?

Or maybe Milwaukee is like Apple and won’t charge the battery if it’s 80% or more full.

 

I've found the chargers run warm. I did notice a slight smell when new, but that went away.

 

Still a handful of m12 stuff left to hang but it's getting there.

 

Nice setup!

I take the “Belt Clip” off all mine.
That thing is in the way more than it is useful to me.

 

Just ordered the M18 Chainsaw. Going to come in handy winter camping.

 

Oh I like that set up!!

I dream of my garage being so nice and tidy - - oh well, guess I need to spend some more time out there

 

I LOVE this chainsaw! It is super handy - and I am always surprised at how little battery it consumes.
I go to put it back and even after doing a good amount of yard work, it still is only one or two bars from full

Good call - enjoy!!

 

Thanks! This is actually part of a workbench I built in my home "office" for all my little various tinkering projects. I keep most of the expensive toys inside in case the garage ever gets broken into or otherwise stolen from

 

That is really nice!!

I need to just pony up and f**ing pick a spot/start working on a bench/org system out there..
The workbench setup/progress has suffered from analysis paralysis

I do keep all my tools put away in their cases + tools in the box, organized + I have a basket for all tools that have not been put away, so things can only be one of a few places

I just lack basic wood working skills, but not for lack of access to tools and I am not stupid- if I apply myself, I can sort it out + Youtube is an excellent instructional aide..
So I need to just start, accept that I will screw up but it is repairable + WTF am I procrastinating for - -



I used to live a place that necessitated keeping the tools in the house - that totally sux to have to worry about that kind of stuff; had a 92 Prelude V/Tech stolen from right under my window back in the day..
Police didn't look for it and found it 2 days later, ghetto stripped in the church parking lot a mile away..
I do not miss living in FL

Now I live far away from others, if someone is out on my property or in my cul/da/sac that isn't supposed to be there - they won't make it off the street in one piece
Between my Rott/Cane Corso + neighbor's territorial pit bull + other neighbor's 2 dobies + the sheriff + god knows how many firearms = good luck with that
Every now and again we get a new person in the 'hood' who will walk back here - it only happens once and they never return -
Every now and again a car that does not belong rolls back here and all of us take note -
I like that my neighbors are as paranoid as I am about that kind of thing..

 

That blower is awesome. We use it around the mill to blow sawdust off of machines and in the shop to move all the chips/dirt from one end to the other in right quick fashion.

 

Do it! Just start building. I like to use Google Sketchup to plan because it's free and relatively easily to learn... I'm like you in that I get so hung up on planning phases that nothing ever happens. Google sketch up helps me visualize everything and get over the planning phase... eventually you hit a point where you just gotta build.

My first project was these bunk beds for my kids... https://imgur.com/gallery/MriJX

 

so I ended up returning the M12 and purchased the M18. Sanded some stuff today and can’t believe I didn’t have this in my collection sooner

 

So I just sat down and went thru those photos and you did an amazing job. I love the use of that otherwise odd space in the room.

I appreciate seeing the screw ups, that helps with my mental hesitance -

 

I appreciate it Honestly it was kind of refreshing to screw up along the way because the more it happened and turned out ok the more I enjoyed the process and was able quit tripping on "sticking to the plan". And now I find myself going at smaller projects without any plan... then "screw ups" instead become discoveries
