Milwaukee Tools

I went rogue... Bought a 12" Oregon bar and chain for the M18 chainsaw it should fit. A little wider cut but much less bar length, should be a really nice match for the saw/power.

 

Post some photos and a review of how that works... curious!

 

It comes next week, I for sure will!

sold my 10” after owning it for almost 2 years…..never really liked using it from day 1

absolutely love my 12” flexvolt….only yellow tool I own, they do saws way better than Milwaukee

 

M12 copper tube cutter. It was more like 20 cuts (10 repairs) because I’m repairing leaks using a m12 propress with viega couplings. House has been vacant since the freeze here in Texas last year.

Decent deal on oscillation cutting tools.

 

I can justify the different tools more easily to my wife. She understands when she sees how useful the tools are for my projects. Harder for her to rationalize the different types of guns and calibers, etc.

 

3/8" impact never arrived.

Pretty sure someone at FedEx kiped it.

HD attempting to make good.

 

I’ve been slowly building a small woodworking shop at my garage, have taken advantage of many HD deals!

HD shipped yesterday. Arrived today. AM!

 

So you did get the better deal after all!! NiCE

 

I did!! HD did fine in the end. Screw FedEx and their thieves.

 

M12 Fuel, 3/8" right?

 

Yes sir!

 

Noice!!

 

I did a little test with the M12 vs M18 3/8” on my bed bolts yesterday. Bed has never been removed but I figured those would be quick easy bolts to hit and should be kinda difficult to pop loose. The M18 had an easier time probably 3-5 seconds of letting it eat and it came free. The M12 to my surprise backed one off in probably 5-8 seconds of letting it eat. The M18 zipped it out after it was loose and the M12 kinda struggled but nonetheless pulled the bolt. I’m trying to find the limits where I need to reach over the M12 for the M18. I’m gaining more confidence it the little M12. I really like it’s ability to fit everywhere. I’ve done two ECGS bushings in the last month and have another one scheduled in February and it’s really handy zipping around the spindle taking stuff off.

 

@Sig45 was at HD last night with my wife… had to walk past the Milwaukee displays even though I saw all the mark down stickers over the special buy prices.
