Milwaukee Tools

Yeah, I'm gonna need cfi and duty cycle numbers before I decide but it looks promising

 

I think we all know what it means lol. These type of inflators are really nice to have, and perfect for airing up a flat tire in a pinch, or just adding a few PSI to the tires here and there. Definitely not a replacement for any compressor you'd have for airing back up after wheeling, but could definitely get the job done with some time. We'll know when it comes out, but like the other brands, it should have instructions to let rest for x amount of minutes after x amount of minutes use. I'd imagine it'd be about a 4 minute job per tire from completely flat, but thats obviously guessing. I keep a ridgid inflator in my truck that I scored from HD for $50 bare tool not long ago. Its really nice being able to just grab a battery from my impact or other tool and not have to fool around with battery clamps under the hood!

 

Hey y'all, maybe you can help. I'm trying to find a grinder but i only seem to see an M18 one? Is there an M12 grinder?

 

Not as far as I know.

 

Not a grinder but a metal cutter...

 

Yeah i saw this one. I'm thinking of picking this up.

 

They also make the M12 die grinders

Have you put it to use yet?

 

Yes, flicked the chain right on the 3rd cut, I guess I didn’t have the tensioner adjusted tight enough, I was cutting small springy saplings so if anything is going to throw your chain, that will. I thought I was reliving my Husqvarna 455 days (where I couldn’t keep a chain on that thing cutting smaller than 2”)


I want to pull the clutch cover and see how the sprocket looks and make sure everything is seating an mating well. The chain has plenty of oil with this configuration, wondering if I should use the 5ah or 8ah to start to make sure I am servicing the bar oil at the correct intervals.

 

Another tool review:
M12 3/8” impact wrench with 2.0ah battery drawing out 4” 5/16” lags from 6x6 pt post…

This impact is a great little tool with some nice power! It is noticeably stronger than the m12 1/4” hex impact (non surge).




Question for those of you who use Milwaukee SURGE impacts, what are the advantages over standard? Milwaukee tool lists all of them both m12 and m18 at 35lbft of torque fastening. Is it worth the additional tool and price?

 

I have one.

Best with the M12 6.0ah batteries, underperforms with the lower power ones.

Has anybody who is a contractor utilized the Packout stuff in their Tacoma?

Thinking of making that move, looking for layout ideas.

 

Alright you Milwaukee junkies, quote this post with the best Milwaukee impact tools for automotive use. Please and thanks.

 

Haven’t used any of my Milwaukee tools on any vehicles.

 

Pneumatic is the way to go?

 

Wouldn’t return to pneumatic EVER! I just haven’t had to wrench on anything since I’ve owned my Milwaukee tools.

I was just talking to my friend who owns a large farm diesel repair shop, and he said almost everyone working there has the high torque impact wrench and a slew of other Milwaukee tools. He said that the high torque will shear lug when putting nuts on without too much trouble so you have to be sure on what setting you have it on!

 

From previous posts I recall the stubby impact drivers and right angle impact drivers being used for most things. Can't think of/recall anything else.

 

I've not yet made the full switch to packout. I have a couple medium packout tool boxes that I just carry. I'm waiting for a smaller rolling box with a horizontal handle (versus that huge one they offer) as I have a tonneau cover. The current rolling box is too tall with the handle. I'd imagine w/out a tonneau the possibilities are endless as far as configurations.

 

Tomorrow is oyster day, and I think I’ll build a little saw box for the M18 chainsaw, chaps, gloves, oil, file kit and maybe a spot for the battery and charger if it isn’t too heavy. I saw where someone used their axe as their handle for the saw box.
