Milwaukee Tools

Home improvement projects gets my vote. The house steals from the truck, tools and guns funds.

 

There is that. And they just get started at $15-20K usually........

 

But... remember, every $1K invested in Milwaukee can reduce the cost of said household improvement project by up to $500!!!!!

 

Absolutely! I’ve definitely made my money back on tools…. except the weed wacker, it costs me $15 every time I send the kid out the door with it.

 

Just spoke with the Milwaukee Rep and store manager at my local HD. Many in-store blowouts coming to get rid of excess holiday inventory to make room for new products. That's why that framer I picked up was so cheap. It was a one day only price/sale. It's on a store by store basis.

 

So what you’re telling me is I need to stop in the store everyday?

 

Let’s try this again around 2. First one is still at the doctors

 

Anyone know if this Echo chainsaw case fits the M18 chainsaw?

The tote I used for my Stihls is TOO big for this saw, seeing how I now only have 1 this could be a classy way to store it.

 

Still no movement

 

Man I am f’ing done with these tiny asss 1.5ah m12 batteries. Things are useless AF

 

I had the same problem, every time I picked up a tool it needed the battery charged... Bought a combo pack 3.0CP and 6.0XC for $89 around mid-December


Now I have 1 more battery than tools, so I always have one of some size on the charger waiting for me fully charged.

 

Seriously tho. I drilled out 5 wood doorknob holes with a fully charged 1.5 with a m12 fuel hammer drill and it was barely made it through the last one.

Then cut like a dozen 1/2” copper tubes with a fully charged 1.5ah and it was done. These 1.5ah are staying at home from now on.

 

The 1.5s have their place; I like them for my flashlight, and my little M12 driver. They're also handy for the ratchets when space is an issue.

 

12 cuts? That sounds extra ordinarily weak. Maybe it's croaking. I get 25+ cuts easy with my 1.5. And that is thick wall tube.

I do agree in general. Love me some 6.0A

 

What tool is he using? Not all the tools use the power the same. If you're using the porta-band and he is using a tubing cutter...

 

I use them for backups or when I need to use a tool in a tight space. They have their place.

 

I have the tubing cutter. It's old, bought in 2010 or so. It was the only M12 tool I owned for years. Still works fine. We cut sections for bike engine exhausts, pre expansion chamber

Agreed. They are great for the ratchets and I love them in my rover (or any tools that utilize magnets). The bigger batts are too heavy for most magnetic tools to stick very well...

 

Wish I knew you when I was 17, I had a SICK Honda spree and Honda Express! Po' boy mods... The spree did 38mph and the Express did 46mph!!!
