Milwaukee Tools

I really don't think they do.

I honestly just wash out the container tub, and then kick the filter around the yard until it stops dusting up. Then stick it all back together and go about my day.

 

I thought they didn't fit/can't be used, as that model isn't listed as applicable to those bags.

 

Aaaaaand ordered






I noticed the smaller batteries that came with my drill and impact do not work well for larger drill bits. Problem solved

 

IMO, the 5.0 is a great compromise between power & weight. I run it on my Impact Driver for large GRK structural screws, on my Hammer Drill and my 6 1/2" circular saw. The saw gets the most use and I've never had one run low in a work day.

 

We have a bunch at work and we abuse the snot out of them. Even works decent on grinders. The little CP2.0 batteries I have for my stuff just don't bode well with anything over a 1/2" speedbore bit. It was a helluva chore to do some electrical at the house last weekend.

 

M18 the only batteries I have are 3HO 5 8HO. I want to get some 6.0 but I haven’t burned up any Ryobi tools demanding Milwaukee replacements lately.

 

I have 4 6.0 and 2 12.0. The 6.0 are great. Got a bunch of 5.0 also.

 

I like the 3.0 on my 15G and 18G finish guns. Those guns are heavy by their design, so the 3.0 keeps the weight manageable. They'll run all day on the 3.0.

 

Anyone have opinion on the 61 inch work station? Was looking at the US General (HF) 72 inch but to get the discount I would have to join their club. Really not interested in doing that. I could get the Milwaukee sent to Home Depot and pick it up no charge for shipping. And take my military discount.

 

I really think the Milwaukee version is overpriced.

Shop the husky versions for similar dimensions/features for at least $200-600 less, with no real change in core features other than the powder coat color.

husky's $800 tool box combo unit is a spectacular deal that no other brand can touch.

I and a coworker each have one that gets used every day. Very few complaints outside the depth being 20" instead of the higher end boxes 24" depth.

 

Thanks for the info. I’ll check it out. But I already see a couple things that I like better about the Milwaukee. The deep bottom drawers and the side cubby. But I’ll definitely take a look.

 

Depending on where you're at in the country, also check out Menards masterforce boxes. Imo, they're a little more primitive than others, but are far cheaper as well--to the point that adding side lockers and such isn't as detrimental to the final cost

 

I will honestly say before you make you Purchase. Go Pull Drawers. I went and Pulled Drawers for 6 months On Husky, Milwaukee, Craftsman, U.S. General. Look at the thickness in the Metal Also. After 6 months of Looking at Boxes U.S. General and Harbour Freight got my money. I had the Top and Bottom box with two Side Boxes for 5 years. Then I won a 56" Bottom from my Snap On Dealer. I sold my U.S. General for almost what I paid for it

 

Maybe keep one of these in your pocket when you're shopping:

If anyone sees battery deals again please post I need a couple. Missed the boat this time...
