    I might have to look into that myself. My buddies m12 hatchet is a beast so I figured I’d see what the m18 was all about

    The batteries for my old DeWalt 18v finally kicked the bucket and this was the best deal.

    You'll soon find yourself with so many extra chargers you're just giving them away

    So very true, but hang onto one more then you think you could use, sucks to give 3 away then end up needing another.

    Agree. The Cordless sliding miters definitely have their place. It's been several years since I used a corded. The power of that Metabo is unmatched by any cordless I've used. I mainly use it when I'll be using it over the course of multiple days in one spot cutting PT (1X, 5/4, 2X and 4x4) and composite components. The dust collection bag works really well too.

    Yep

    All my cordless tools are Milwaukee fuel; I have a few corded tools and one of them is a Metabo HPT angle grinder that runs smoother than my Dewalt or Milwaukee corded grinders

    I actually ended up returning the Milwaukee grinder as it had the worst vibration out of any angle grinder I've owned or tried

    You’d have to ask my 30+ yo Milwaukee circular saw and Holeshooter how they feel about that. :)

    Ive used it for about a year now. Purchased a new home (for us) that needs tons of work including plumbing. Did a bunch of research and reading and decided I wanted to go PEX-A so dove in with that combo from Milwaukee. Actually my first tool set from them, I use Makita otherwise. Extremely happy with the expansion tool and cutter. Have been happy overall using PEX-A. I get most supplies from SupplyHouse.com because I couldn’t find much local but recently found a spot in the area that does carry PEX-A supply so that’s a bonus. It’s incredibly easy to work with and would recommend making the switch! :thumbsup:

    Jesus that’s expensive. I picked up a DeWalt one couple years back on Amazon for $250. That new fuel one just expands quicker, but the whole overall process is quick already.

    Bought a house built in 1986 and we are in the process of renovating it. Wanting to move the master bath to another part of the house. It also has a unfinished basement that we want to finish.
