Milwaukee Tools

Only because I retired (wife bought me Pack Outs to use at my fab job) so I repurposed them for camping.

Mainly cause they're durable and lock up nicely.

One carries my Milkwaukee inverter, LED rope lighting I use to light up my site or hang on an awning, extra flash light, headlamp, batteries (both for headlamp and inverter), charging cables for wife and I, bluetooth speaker (JBL), and I forget what else.

On top of that I attach two sma Milwaukee Pack Outs; one is a metric tool set so I have a set of tools in the event of anything and the other with misc camp supplies that doesn't warrant being put in my Front Runner boxes (I have 3).

Do you think this is a reasonable asking price for locals $400?

 

Seems like a great deal.

 

I just ran through OfferUp here in SoCal and the batteries are $160-$180 used and $200 new in box. The chargers are $40 tops. I feel like $400 is a good starting point.

 

Yeah I could separate them or sell off smaller batteries, I figured someone with a M18 mower would be really interested in it as a set, limited market though.

 

Have a buyer lined up to meet this morning before work. All and all I’ll come out with the rear handle circular saw and a new 8Ah battery with the loss of (1) 12.0Ah, basically a free tool after the sale of the batteries.

I’m good with this exchange. The 12.0Ah battery has only been charged twice for its use on the chainsaw in about 18 months. So having two around would serve me no purpose.

Now I can get my 6 1/2” saw trigger fixed. It is cutting out too often.

 

M18 Fuel 7 1/4” rear handle

first impressions:

• Huge: Worm gear sized
• Depth gage and guard more functional.

Might see how it plays out but at this point the 6 1/2” is definitely not out of the fleet yet.

 

Here’s a fun fact: my m18 compressor got run over by a Mack roll off truck and it still works.

 

I have the rear handle. Over all I like it but I'm just a DIY'er. Dislike the left-handed orientation and probably overkill for what I need it for. Works like a champ and handled everything I've thrown at it so far. Typically use the 8amp battery with it.

Oof. The 1st item that loads on their page

 

Ouch. Well you do get a free tool that you probably don't want. Didn't even go the website because it's a whole thing with my VPN. Have to pause, new browser window, etc. .
Maybe this is the deal. You spend a certain amount and they give you credit (gift card) toward another purchase. I'd rather have the item discounted.

 

Stood there going back & forth for a good 10 minutes on this or the packout model but ultimately couldn’t justify the $125 delta for ~10% better specs and a hose storage spot. Just finished vacuuming the daily driver and I’m satisfied with my choice. Not blown away (ha!) but it does what I expected just fine. Didn’t have any full batteries to use so I ended up using the last half of 2 4ah batteries.

 

i love mine. i just keep a 9.0 in it all the time. otherwise it seems to suck up batteries really fast.

my favorite part is really that it's a large rectangle. squares or rectangles, i can fit places and keep upright. cylinders always end up on their sides, rolling away!

 

love mine, had for a least 6 years
